Man, that is one of the best, well-made ATV trailers I've ever seen man! Awesome !!

Looks awesome, nice work. Years ago Kimpex use to have a trailer with the same axle set up system. They used a heavy duty fender that swiveled with it and in the winter you could flip the assembly over and use the fender as a ski turning the trailer into a sled.

What size tubing did you use? I bet that's not light weight. Great job on welding
Have any plans writing up for it? Wouldn't mind building one for myself.

 

[gemarsh]

Used 2x3x3/16 tube for the walking beam with a 1.5" shaft w/ a matching DOM tube for the axle. Rest of the frame is made from 2x2x12ga tube. The box frame is made from the same tube for the base frame and 1x1x14ga tube for the box skeleton.

Building a frame now to replace the dumpbox frame to mount a 100 gal tank, honda engine, chemical pump and spray boom. It's easy to replace boxes by removing two 1/2" bolts where it hinges. On the drawing board is a box(bed) to land a jetski.

very nice trailer!...how much for one shipped to ny!

That trailer looks familiar. Looks close to this design.
DR® Power Equipment - Versa-Trailer - ATV Utility Dump Trailer with Boom-Lift

Very cool trailer. It does look similar to the DR model, but I am guessing it was much less to fab than to buy from them... and also probably better built!

thats probally the coolest atv trailer i have ever seen

That is a good-looking trailer you have there. Built mine to be a meat trailer for hunting in the rough going here in Alaska. My hunting partner built mine 10 years ago and has hauled out many moose and caribou with it so far. No trails where we go with muskeg, rivers and tussocks to tackle so we don't like the idea of an axle hanging up underneath.

2 foot of ground clearance to keep the load high and dry with a working tailgate big enough for me to sleep in and stay off the cold ground in a pinch. The coolest thing about it is his just patented swivel hitch that rotates 360 degrees with crazy angles so if you flip the machine or trailer it doesnt take the other with it or worse yet snap a ball and leave ya stranded.

I'd show pics of the hitch itself but he's still hush-hushing it trying to work a few deals with a couple of companies. It pulls behind the Foreman quite nicely...

Another one he was putting together last summer outside getting ready to sand blast before primer and paint.

 

[rich450es]

cwoods can you post a pick of the hitch set up you use to get all that articulation ? i have a idea (from my jeeping days ) but an curious ....thanks !!!

 

[SIrebel]

rich are you thinking something along the lines of the old military style pintle hitches with the articulating tongues

yup ....i just wanted to see how he scaled it down from a military 2 ton trailer ....i like his set up

 

[SIrebel]

yea me too i wouldnt mind building something along the same lines for where we hunt cause im not always home to help dad drag out a deer and a trailer like that would really come in handy for him plus ya gota love father and son welding projects

 

[rich450es]

if you look in this pic you can see the pivot for the pintal ....i want to see what that hooks into ...

 

[SIrebel]

me too their are many different ways to go here for design wise but i prefer cheapest and strongest which unfortuntaley dont go together

 

[cwoods]

Boy I'm sorry but as I stated in my post I can't post pics of the actual hitch itself. He just got a patent finalized a few months ago which took a couple of years and cost him a bit of cash. I'm supposed to be hush about the hitch yet till he's done with marketing it to a couple of big names down in the states.

We will be doing a little video on our moose trip pulling a moose or two out and showing the angles it motions through where it couples for Moose Atv and Kolpin which they asked him for...... It really looks like it is going to take off for him.

I will say it's NOTHING like a pintle swivel on a military trailer....... Lotsa slop in those.

Again sorry
