man i have seen those convertable (strongbox) trailers in person and was NOT impressed at all. dont know what they cost but its to much. this one wasnt very old and already falling apart. not trying to piss anyone off just a what I saw. id want to know if i were going to buy one.

sounds like i need to get a load of trailers and head to CA to turn a profit.

Thanks for the info. I am thinking it may be a little small. I really want a 6 x 10 flat bed trailer. I want to find one cheep but I guess I am going to have to pay up. Pac west had a few trailers.

I have one of those. I think it is called something else, Snocat, or bearcat or something, but it is identical. I LOVE IT! Perfect for one quad.

So who knows anything about Haulmark Trailers. I am looking at a 2005 "Race Trailer" 8x18 enclosed, dovetail, ramp door, lights, etc. $6300 out the door but that seems a little steep to me.

You think so? The KQ measures a little over 7 long and 52 inches wide with the bighorns....Maybe my measurements suck. I was thinking I need 8.5 wide in order to get 2 SQUISHED side by side or 18 long in order to get 2 adult quads and a kids quad on board. :?

Keith,

My trailer is 5.5' by 12'. 12' is just enough for 3 Polaris Quads, with some tire over the edge...kinda like yours the other day. I put a kid quad in the middle, no sweat.

But if it had walls would they fit? Or do the tires go edge to edge. Have to consider overhang f/r when there are walls. Were you talkin enclosed Kendo or open? I think I just have enclosed on the brain :lol:

Enclosed? No way...that's loaded width to the 12ft...not nose to tail.
