I have watched every video I can find on walking beam trailers and this is by far the best! This was the only one that ahowed it being used like I would use it, in deep woods, rocky terrain and off camber situations, thank you. Now to find one in Nova Scotia.
Nice trailer. It needs limits on the walking axle so the tires don't hit the trailer. You also need a 3 axis hitch like the Rock and Roll hitch to get better articulation off road.
Y first tub trailer was a Marlon 700,it’s absolutely junk. I’ve seen those, they look pretty good. Bought a Boski ATV Wagon a few years ago, it’s good but would have been better with walking beam instead of the torsion bars. If I were to do it all over, I’d just build from scratch as they all cheap out here and there. BTW, time to upgrade your quads. 😂
I see that James Endicott says below that it is called a "Walking Beam Axle" ... I have never seen it called that, but what it resembles to me, is a two wheeled bogie suspension like on a M4 Sherman Tank. Or even M5 Stuart Tank. This is VERY proven off-road Technology. This has been around since WWI and was HEAVILY used in WWII on Half Tracks, Tanks, and self propelled Artillery pieces as well as mobile anti aircraft guns. The Two wheeled bogie was great for not only is off road capabilities, but it's ease of repair. (Run over a mine, break a bogie wheel, unbolt the bogie from the side of the tank, mount a new bogie... 1 rigid bolt, and one pivoting bolt, and you are good to go. That is a REAL nice suspension set up for something like this. And probably the most proven tech available without getting into using shocks, dampeners and what not. The floating bogie runs on simple spring and cantalever tech. Awesome Trailer!!! Check out a few old tank videos. You'll see what im talking about......
Amazing beating. I would not buy anything used because of this. Bearings filled with mud Twisted and a smoked clutch. Awful. I’m happy people destroy their equipment so at least I can see the limits.
I recall Louie having an issue with the plug being too loose, he then put a bolt and washer though the plug to secure it in. Is the trailer still like that or was there another fix that took place off camera?
@USSBB62 Exactly. Seeing what YOU are accomplishing in your life completely shames him. Say hi to your mom for me. Don’t just yell it. Go upstairs and tell her to move on.
Ya I have noticed in a few of his/your videos with that quad that its only 3 wheel drive. I think the front right driveshaft is broken Or the front diff is a little too open and not enough limited slip action.
Louie..If the front axle isn't broke.. Change the Front Diff Fluid use the Polaris stuff. If it comes out looking shitty brown ,you may need seals. Also If you have slid the 4WD button to engage the front diff while the backs are spinning pretty good (I know you would never do that LOL) there is a bearing cage that may have sustained some damage in the front diff ...I do remember there used to be a metal bearing cage from another machine or company that worked much better....But first try the oil change as we had a similar prob and an oil change fixed it. Just looked..."Polaris metal Sprague Carrier" from SuperATV.com Made from 6061 Aluminum
The 500 Sportsman he is on would have no trouble if the hub on the right front wheel was locking in. Don't knock it, it is a old machine that probably had a hard life, and clearly not enough maintenance. Not downing Power Mods either, probably didn't know the 4wd was not working right before the trip. Power Mods, Keep up the good work!!!
+robbie cardillo Yes, but with any differential (except for posi), the power will always get sent to the tire with the lowest amount of traction. Even if it is an automatic locker, the tire still has to spin a little bit for it to engage. You can clearly see that the tire is pretty much off the ground while the other tire is planted on the ground but yet that tire is still spinning, so clearly something is wrong with the diff or the driveshaft or something in that area.
Actually polaris doesnt use a differential they just have a ring and pinion driving both axles directly and when you put it in 4x4 the front hubs lock and all 4 are supposed to spin so something is wrong with it.
Thanks for sharing this product, I’m a Marlon fan as I own a Marlon aluminum welded boat
They take pride in their products

Good review. I'm researching ATV/UTV offroad trailers and found this helpful.
The lid is optional so the stake pockets are for when there is no lid.
Damn that trailer handled everything didn’t expect that at all
That type of axle is called a "walking beam axle" just so you know. Great videos though. Also I would love to see some more SxS videos and quads
Just stumbled across your channel, really good stuff! Sub for sure
Keep thinking i want one lol! Be great for hunting
thinking of just building one , but it will never be as nice.
Nice trailer. It needs limits on the walking axle so the tires don't hit the trailer. You also need a 3 axis hitch like the Rock and Roll hitch to get better articulation off road.
SmoothbassmanStudios hitting the trailer is the limit, that was it has maximum travel.
That was an outstanding review.
Thanks for watching! Great trailer!
Very nice. I was just thinking it might do better with a pintail hitch?
Carabiner works great to secure those latches
Que bueno ...que lindo mi amigo..

I’m never gonna even lend you my pencil for fear of it being returned bent or broken 😆
good call!

It's called a walking beam axle
If the reviewer doesn't know what a Walking beam is the is he really qualified to review at all. I doubt it.

If it was a clutched front diff it would be a bear to turn.....
You told us about the trail a thousand times

Who would a thunk it.
Lol.

we call that axle walking beam syle
Can you take the lid on and off?
It looks like you need some better tires on your 4-wheeler. I like maxxis bighorns.
How wide is the channel that the hitch goes on?
No 4x4 on front right at 19:30?
Walking beam suspension
You can turn it into a bath tub at camp
Lol..I always thought the 500 sportsman had full lock front diff...guess not
Can you link me to the vid of you using this trailer in your formentioned run ?
How much it cost? Where to get one?
u have put it though it's paces
When you were trying to drown it you could have just took the drain plug out.
That’s what I was thinking. Why work smarter when you can work more dumber? LOL
Where could I find this trailer, can’t seem to find it available anymore. I would love to buy one
Marlon makes them
@@PowerModzOfficial i ordered one last week it will be here on Monday
Powermodz what would you recommend doing to make a 2010 skidoo xp 600 etec into a beastly powder/hooligan sled? pm me or email me.
Your 4wd is messed up all 4 tires should be Turing ok that bike maybe the clutch kit on the right front axle is bad

Damn, I hope my 850xp can get up stuff easier that his. Looks like a lot of work.

Power Mods, Keep up the good work!!!
Walking beam
8:50..... that's 4x4 ??
its got a front open diff so only the tire without traction looks like its spinning
Made in BC!
Your 4x4 Is not working like it should . You should have all four wheels spinning. You only have three .

Looks like your quad is a 3 wheel drive.

That Polaris is a P.O.S.
