ATV/Garden Tractor Dump Trailers

[jeff9366]

I have a Canadian MUTS Trailer which has been highly satisfactory:

MUTS - Multi-Use Trailer System for your ATV, Quad and 4 Wheeler

I recently saw web page for DR Versa Trailer which looked interesting:

DRｮ Power Equipment - Versa-Trailer - ATV Utility Dump Trailer with Boom-Lift

Personally I like manual bed lift via boom and winch. I have pulled many tree trunks on board the MUTS with the winch and boom. Very versatile. Larry Edgar, owner of MUTS manufacturing, answers e-mails personally and is very good to deal with. Freight from Canada to Florida was unavoidably costly, I have to admit.

On both the MUTS and Versa the load sits low, between the wheels, which makes the loaded trailer stable.
I often back my MUTS up and over very steep sides of our burn pile (4-WD engaged, in LOW range) with about 1,000 pounds of dead wood on board without fear and without the trailer trying to steer the Kubota. Then I dump with the boom and winch.

Consider carefully whether you want your trailer to carry load OVER trailer wheels or BETWEEN trailer wheels.

Which one did you get?

I have the single axle. If you go to there site sometimes they have a scratch and dent sale. Here is a link of it getting loaded with a tractor.

I HIGHLY recommend the Polar Trailers Trailers I bought the HD 1200 eight or ten years ago and have been extremely pleased. Both the 1200 and the 1500 are available with single or twin axles. They're not cheap, but if I had to replace mine, I wouldn't look at anything else.

(On edit, maybe they ARE cheap compared to some of the others suggested here).

I picked up a Polar trailer about 5-6 years ago at Northern Tool and have been very satisfied with it's performance. NT has a sale around Labor Day which will save you some money too.

Some of the other trailers mentioned in this thread are very nice, but the Polar is a good value IMO

Just got the dr versa trailer a few weeks ago and haven't put it to use yet. To protect the bed, I sprayed on a Raptor bed liner.

This probably has most of the features you are looking for
Polar Trailer Heavy-Duty Tandem Axle Trailer — 1500-Lb. Capacity, 22 Cu. Ft., Model# 8262 | Lawn Garden Utility Trailers| Northern Tool + Equipment

You can buy Polar trailers special order from any Home Depot. Probably save considerably by eliminating freight.

Go to Home Depot's web site. Polar trailers are there.

I checked the prices
Home Depot $799
Northern Tool $639
It will have to be a large freight cost to make up the difference.
