Off road dump trailer options

[Citydude]

Ah, I got rid of my Mustang so my wife can have a new car. She's punctured a sidewall and scuffed up the rest. Driving in reverse is not in her wheelhouse either.

I was thinking that a 4-wheel wagon would be handy for hauling debris and firewood behind our UTV since it could be unhooked while being loaded. TSC has a decent-looking 1000# model with drop sides for $150. I've never tried to back up a wagon. Is it even possible?

I got the prices back from pronovost. Definitely going with Berkelmans welding. Seems like a better trailer for less money. Thanks
For all the info guys.

Of course it is possible.

I'm pretty sure I'd trash a 1,000lb model quicker than I could purchase it.

Did you get a price on the wide tire option? If it were $200-300, I'd consider it.

Yes and no. It can be done, however most people cannot do it.

Much easier with a front hitch.

You have to plan ahead and really concentrate. You can get the feel for it and practice with a shopping cart at the store, just turn it around and push it backwards from the front of the cart.

...And push it with a broomstick.

I can back this mess up about 3 feet before I get all tangled up and I drove semis for 10 years lol.
