Hauling it – About time you get an ATV trailer, folks
May 17, 2007
We know the kind of headache one gets whenever it's time to haul our ATVs in our vehicles. All the excitement of taking the whole family out on an ATV riding outing dissipates as we stand there right front of our ATVs and vehicle wondering how in the world we are going to get ‘this' machine into ‘that' machine so that we can all go and have some fun. In the years that we have hauling our ATVs here and there, we have invested in many different ATV trailers and we have also played Tetris with our ATVs one time too many, as a result. Without an ATV trailer, hauling your ATV is an extremely near-impossible feat; so, get yourself an ATV trailer if you plan on taking up this sport as a hobby.
I mean, listen, an ATV trailer isn't as expensive as you might think it is. Yes, it used to cost a bomb back in those days but now with the demand being so high, the price for some ATV trailers have taken a nosedive. The most important thing is for the ATV trailer to be light and compact – either one of these components missing, you're going to have to deal with ANOTHER machine to haul! Downright defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Anyway, we scoured around ATV stores and online retailers of cheap ATV trailers and found some pretty good ones for as little as $400 and some were about $2000…but still pretty cheap, mind you! If $2000 could spare you the headache and run down the risk of ruining your ATV, then don't spare the money.
You can find cheap ATVs online by just making a search in one of favorite search engines. Just be careful about whom you're purchasing the ATV trailer from. If you want to save some money on buying the ATV trailer, you can always try finding a used ATV trailer which is still in good condition. The thing with ATV trailers is that it's generally quite safe to buy ATV trailers online simply because of the fact that it doesn't take quite as much beating as the ATV itself. It doesn't go over rocks, swim in rivers, climb hills, hit mud puddles…etc. Therefore, the wear and tear condition on used ATV trailers is usually negligible. Usually, owners of these used ATV trailers just want to find another better, lighter or more compact one, that's all. So, if you want to get an ATV trailer off of someone like that, go ahead. One thing, though, if you can, try to meet up with the owner of the ATV trailer and inspect the ATV trailer before purchasing it. otherwise, make sure there's a photo that you can view and verify. And the other thing is that make sure the owner is willing to take the same used ATV trailer back if the condition of the ATV trailer is worse than what the owner have previously described.
I wish there was a single ATV trailer that I can recommend to you guys but there is quite a fair number of ATV trailers that we liked. We liked the Kendon Modular ATV and Utility Transport (approx $2400), Loadrite ATV2550 Double ATV trailer ($600), or the Scandi Pacific Single Foldable ATV Trailer ($600) and Triton AUT8-53 Single ATV Trailer Unit ($1000).
