- 2 days of 3 with rain and chilly temperature. Trailer survived this trip with no issues at all. Loaded with 150L of fuel , firewood and more,,
The homemade articulated ball hitch is a great advantage compare to a regular ball hitch. - Авто та транспорт
Great to see you out again!
Now that was quite an adventure!
Good stuff, team work makes all the difference. I'd suggest just a couple mods to the trailer. About a foot wider track width & modify the beams to accept tires & wheels exactly the same as your ATV. More stability, better offroad ability, & worse case scenario, you got at least 4 spare wheels & tires just in case you destroy the ones on your ATV. Also you'll get double the life out of your tires by rotating the regularly between ATV & trailer.
Cheers.
WOW, amazing, but looks like a lot of work. Thanks for sharing!
It is a single axle trailer. 2 tires on each side of the axle spread out the footprint
A two axle (tandem) would have been even more stable.
I bet you could modify some tracks for that trail to use when you are pulling it through the swamps
I think my home built trailer would fair a little better, its 4x6 single solid axle with 28 inch tires, much lower center of gravity. The tall tires let it climb over obstacles easier, only down side on mine is that it is a little wider than my ATV.
Don’t like to be negative but wouldn’t you get more grip if the front tires were in the correct rotation
Great trip guys 😃
great trailer! the driver really needs to modify throttle use...smooth out the throttle and you'll get stuck less, reduce stress, wear on machine consequently increases lifespan, and be less annoying. This is a problem that the world needs to fix; excessive revving needs to go!
"Tread Lightly" a good philosophy for many reasons!
Driver's timing and where he paid attention (guessing by what his helmet was pointed at) could use some practice... but that's what we're all about: Learning from experience, maybe good advice, to do better next time. I don't fault the rider, just as long as he hopes to improve.
Wow, that sounded Paternalistic. Not how I meant it... but, we can ALL improve. Ok. Stopping before I dig a hole.
It’s hard to regulate the throttle on a can am I find
Man that doesn’t look like fun, tough work
Big bore quads equals more trailer issues almost by the looks of it? Great invention tho! Keep up the videos please
As a hunter, I’d find the trailer very useful for packing out carcasses and meat. You should spend a bit on a worked up prototype and copyright/trademark the thing before someone else makes their millions of your ideas boys!!
An itty-bitty three-wheeled ATV from the early 80's with a skilled rider would have made easy work of these trails... but it wouldn't have carried much. In the late 80's my dad and I went on a caribou hunt in Forty-Mile Country. Not sure what we'd have done if we actually landed one. It was hard enough to cart in two days provisions and a tent from the trail-head.
Interesting that they used the aluminum sand ladder/max-trax/bridge items they had strapped to the sides of the trailer only once. Designed properly, such equipment would have helped them out of several of those jams.
I also wonder, they tipped that trailer more than once: No fuel or water spillage?
Var är ni och kör, ser ut att vara bra spår
I suppose if you invited another friend, and distributed the trailed load over all of the bikes, you could have avoided sooooo much hassle.
What a nightmare.
We are allways seeking adventure and challanges. Not comfortable trips.
Hi
What is the kind of ATV?
The one towing the trailer was a Can-Am Outlander of some verity, I expect. Belt driven automatic. I don't remember seeing badging that gave it's engine size, but if you re-watch carefully, I think you should be able to find it. Anyway, it's big and heavy and powerful.
If you go to 9:03 you'll see that its actually a Polaris Sportsman 1000 xp towing the trailer.
His drop frame is too far away from the bucket, high center and tipsy

Personally, I think those trailers are not meant for the off roading you guys are doing here. They are narrow and top-heavy, making them prone to rollovers. Trails only.
Rollover now and then is no big deal for us, god ground clearence more important
Ouch. This is a flawed design trailer and wrong pole attachment also. too heavy. cant cork. Single axle with only 2 tires, pintle & lunette.
2 tire trailers are probably mostly for finer trails.
bogie with 4 tires climbs softer and simpler over logs and stones.
No thanks, I'll stick to my single axle trailer.
It is a single axle trailer, but the two tires hooked to that axle spread out the footprint (although in the movie the trailer still sinks in the ruts).
All the rigs are too heavy
And swap those alloy planks out for a set of MAXTRAX
( www.maxtrax.com.au/ )
Heaps lighter and immensely useful
Those aluminum "planks" seemed a lot more rigid than maxtrax, the one time they used them. They may not grip too well, but used the way they did, I think they probably did better than maxtrax would have. Sometimes flex in a sand-ladder type device is good. In this case, it wouldn't be. They'd have to stack more than they could carry, I expect.
A nice weekend of survival! 🤣😣 What idiot is taking so much junk for a weekend!
Lol trailer needs bigger wheels. This looks horrible.
Lol crap cam am. Cannot even pull a nice trailer
