    Rainy day afternoon putting this together. Needed something for the quad trails. Hopefully the neighbor will cut me a sheet of stainless for the mesh bottom. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I have had my eye on that trailer I’d be inerested in hearing a review when you get to use it some.

    Nice trailer and with the quad wheels it should carry a pretty good load. If you do not get your stainless metal floor use a piece of plywood. I am sure it would work just as well.

    Yes, I just cut a piece of osb to lay in the trailer. Works well. Trailer is great and if you get some big stuff, you don't have to lift it very far up.

    IMG_0006.JPG IMG_0010.JPG I've had mine for a couple years. Still great in the woods!
    The pictures are kinda show-offs, but for bigger rocks and cobbles, it works great.
    The tilt bed latch blew apart a couple months ago because I wasn't watching for anything getting loose so now it's wired shut. I never had a need for the tilt that it could provide anyway.
    Definitely put something on the deck to protect the expanded metal mesh. And keep another board handy to make the tailgate taller!

    damm that is a pretty little thang! and M2theB nice demonstration shots! The way its balanced looks like you can possibly lift the front to dump logs or dirt if you lay plywood on the botom. Good luck with it.

    Nice little trailer. Should be able to get into tight places.

    Yeah, that looks like a great rig there. Very mobile. A lot of small loads add up quick. Time to get some mud on her!

    The best thing about this trailer is the independent duely's. The bed stays level over rocks and ditches and logs.
    I had been dragging a Craftsman 2 wheel-one axle through the woods for years and now and again dump the load. Complete yard sale. Nothing against the Craftsman, it did and still does the yard work. But it never volunteered for the woods.
    This is a well built tool. Stay ahead of the bearings with grease and keep an eye on the tilt bed latch.

    You couldn't buy yutrax trailers for a while, not even that long ago. Hopefully this means they are easy to buy again as they seem solid.

    I too rarely use the tilt bed, but it is handy if needed. Because we have more than one garden and one is quite a ways from the house and barns we usually load the tiller into the trailer to haul it back rather than walking it back, which is very slow. But for loading wood, even the big heavy stuff, the trailer is so low it is easy to load big stuff without even tilting the bed. However, I have done that a few times and used a cant hook for rolling some big logs onto the trailer.

    I have seen some new ones and those seemed to be made with a much higher bed, which I would not like.

    I see they build a higher 2 wheel model for more ground clearance.

    So, do they have both now or just the one with the raised bed? I would not like the raised bed as well for sure.

    There is the 4 wheel like this and both high and low 2 wheelers that I have seen.
