Utility Trailer Weight

[Beltzington]

Asking anyone with an all steel 6x10, 6x12 single axle utility trailer if they can be easily moved by hand? I have a 7x18 aluminum car hauler and am looking for a smaller trailer for my UTV but if they are too heavy to be easily moved by hand why spend the money. Thanks

I can't move mine but my son-in-law can if that answer's your question. If not,maybe you can" try it before you buy it.":confused3:

I don't have a small trailer since I only need one 2 or 3 times a year. However, My neighbor needs his tractor hauled a few times a year so I haul it with my 22' tilt bed trailer and he lets me use his 6 x 12 single axle trailer to haul my ATV. His has rear drop down split gates and a right side drop down gate for side loading. The tongue is way too heavy for one person (probably even two) with that extra side gate but I can easily move it around with my trailer mover attachment on the 3 pt. of the tractor. If it was aluminum one person might be able to move it by hand. He does have a smaller 6 x 8 than can be moved by one person but I haven't used it.

As I got older I stopped moving trailers by hand, even the light ones. I don't want to risk getting hurt so that's what the tractor is for.

My 4x8 has an A-frame tongue and is movable by hand, but just barely. Sometimes I think I am asking for a back injury trying to move it. If a wheel falls in a dip or rut, or it's on sloped ground, it is really too much to do by hand.

My 5x8 is easily moved by hand. I’ve used a second 5x8 that’s too heavy to move by hand. I’ve used a 6x10 that’s too heavy to move by hand. Stacking some weight on the back helps a lot.

Appreciate your experiences, I guessed it might be a handfull, it is one thing to roll a trailer in a parking lot and another to drag one over rough ground. My adolescence mind keeps getting my baby boomer back into trouble.

I rarely need to haul my UTV or ZT mower and wouldn't even consider buying another trailer if my car hauler wasn't located 100-miles round trip from where my UTV is kept and it is really way to much trailer for towing a UTV. Also I don't want another trailer sitting around my back yard as I already have three boat trailers and a much smaller utility trailer. I can rent an aluminum 6x10 trailer from TSC for $20/day so I will likely just make due.

i have access to a 6x12 it has an expanded metal frame over cross members and frame. it is very lightweight and easy to move by hand. i don't have any photos of it

I have difficulty moving the lighter 5x8 over rough ground and add much incline and I can’t do it.

We have a 6x10 and with the split tailgates on, it moves easily by hand. With the tailgates off, there is too much tongue weight.
