I have never owned an AATV before and am planning to purchase one. What is the best type of trailer for carrying an AATV? What are the names and locations of the companies that make them?
I may buy something as big as the Argo 8-wheeler. |

I own an Argo 8x8 Conquest equipped with Super Tracks. The overall width is 71". My "Big Tex" open trailer load floor is 77" wide. I have had no problems loading the Argo on this trailer, but it is a bit tight. The Argo is loaded backwards on the trailer for better weight distribution and preventing damage to the windshield, even though it's in the folded down position when transporting. The Argo Conquest's overall length is roughly 10'. My trailer's load floor length is 12'. This provides more than adequate room for tie-down. The Big Tex trailer is available through Hitch House which I believe is a Michigan based company. The Big Tex has a grated load ramp that pivots to a locked vertical position. It is very convenient. The front and sides are tubular railing roughly 16" high. The Big Tex trailer also has a single 3500# axle with 15" dia Wagon Wheels. The overall length of the trailer is roughly 15&1/2'. I use the bearing extensions at the front and rear axles of the Argo for tie-down to the trailer with 2" wide straps. I considered a covered trailer which I believe would be ideal. A covered trailer would allow for you to have the windshield and convertible top raised so that in adverse conditions you could quickly be on your way after unloading. The drawbacks are storage of the covered trailer and cost. The height of a typical covered trailer is higher than most garage door openings.
Hope this information is useful. |

Larry,
A 6x8 sigle axle trailer works great for an eight wheeler. they are light and easily towable by a small truck or car. I suggest one with a rail all the way around and a loading gate. try a car/truck dealer magazine at the local gas station, most trailer dealers avertise like crazy in those. you can normally get one for 400 to 700 bucks new. also strap it down around the axles at all four corners when in transport with strong quality rachet straps. Matt on this page had a little mishap with someone pulling out in front of him and when he t-boned her the straps broke and it bashed the back of his truck. they were 900 lb. straps that snapped, so I graduated up to 10,000 lb. straps from sams club at each corner, I doubt they would snap in this situation. however do not strap any aatv down on the body because the pressure with deform the body over a period of time and it is not as secure as being around the axles. good luck |

HI, I got a 6 foot by 10 foot for my Argo Conquest. It has a drop down gate at the back end and a one foot high metal border around the bed. I can strap to the metal border with 6 foot 10,000 straps going to each outside axle. I have about 5 inches of room on each side, even with Tru Traks on. Key points...Make SURE you have the hitch locked onto the ball of your car before trying to drive it on or off. The weight on the back of the trailer can cause the hitch to unlock if you do not have the locking pin in. Alternately, have good sized jack stands under the rear of the trailer so the trailer does not tip as you load. I load so I have around 150 lbs on the hitch. A good investment is a locking hitch pin for your receiver and a lock for the hitch itself. That way you do not have to worry about someone stealing your trailer as you boonie bounce in your 6x6. One of my friends has an ATV trailer with removable ramps. Main problem he has is getting the ramps lined up with the tires. With mine, I just have to center on the trailer and drive. the ramp is actually wider than my Argo. |

Well, I got a 6.5 foot wide x 12 foot long trailer...Single axle... Mesh tail gate that drops down for loading...sounds a lot like what is being discussed...I also load backwards due to the windshield on the ARGO. Main problem is most single axle trailers do not have trailer brakes.
So if I tow it behind my Subaru Outback, I exceed the recommended towing capacity by 1000 lbs. If it had trailer brakes, I would just squeek by. When you consider a trailer, make sure you also consider the tow vehicle. My main tow vehicle is a Mercedes ML 320 which can tow 5000 lbs and the trailer brake issue does not come up. Best bet...If you can afford it,,,a trailer with brakes is the best bet...regardless of how you load. |

Anybody have any experience with a trailer made by Titan? I'm thinking of getting an 80"x144" deck-over trailer; it has plenty of room for my Bigfoot and some additional gear, but it is about a foot less in width than a standard utility trailer. I go down some pretty narrow roads and I'm trying to keep the width of my trailer about the same as my pick-up. |

ronw;
We have a Bigfoot. The trailer we use is an ARK 5x8. The six wheeler fits into it like a glove, therefore giving it nowhere to move while we are towing. We use heavy straps on the front and back and away we go. It is a tilt trailer and has the rails around it that are about a foot tall. This makes it nice to load and unload. The tilt is also nice when we've been in a lot of water and we are ready to load. We get it on the trailer and stand on the back of the trailer. The tilt lets it set and drain the majority of the water out. This is good for the times when Roger just leaps off an enbankment and we get the wash of water in our laps. When we go down the road the tire wells for the trailer are the same width as our truck, so we always know whether we are going to fit. Ours is a two wheeled trailer with the grated bottom. The mud just drops off and through. No constant trailer washing job. We avoid the tandem wheeled trailers. We just don't like to pull them. My husband uses the trailer and six wheeler for his deer hunting and it goes down the narrow country roads easily. We did make an alteration to ours. When he is coming home from hunting it is sometimes already dark. We fanned the last foot or foot and a half on the rear of the trailer out so that the ARGO pulls up to it and just slides into the channel. Easy even in the dark. Good luck on finding the trailer that fits your needs perfectly. |

Be careful, not all 5 x 8 trailers are the same width. I had a 5 x 8 and could not get close to fitting my bigfoot on it. my trailer was only 59 3/4" wide and I easily needed 2 inches wider.
I had to buy a 6.5 x 10 but I was searching hard to find one that fit tighter myself.
Good Luck in your search.

Bonnie and Roger; is the inside of your trailer exactly 60" or is it slightly bigger? I couldn't find ARK trailers on the web, where do they come from? I like the idea of the deck-over trailer so there's room for tracks if I ever put them on. Ron |

Ron,My bigfoot rides on a 6x10 trailer.I pull it with a ranger.I've got all the room i'll need for anything.Ya it's wider than my truck but i can haul lots of extra stuff.I go riding at my buddy's dad place and it's a ate-up drive after big rains.My truck may make it but i'm not trying with trailer,so i take loggen trails up there.Their not wide but i've done it.I guess it depends on how good you can do towing.Later,Rick |

Ron,
I looked at the tongue of the trailer. I can't read where they are manufactured due to paint overspray. However I did pick out this telephone #. (501)344-8136. It looks like it is in Arkansas. I assume that is where the name ARK came from. We are in southern Indiana and purchased it at a dealer in Waverly, KY. Call and ask for a distributor near you.
If you want to transport with tracks, the trailer like ours would not work. We're tight like a glove. You hear the tires swoosh down the side as it loads, but it is really nice for transport. We also pack all our gear inside the truck bed with the high-top shell. Good luck in your search. |

I Had a trailer built for $1000.00 The guy was a ex - stock car racer. I gave him all my Bigfoot specs, and he made a 6 by 12 trailer with what he calls a beaver tail ramp. Its a fixed ramp at the back of the trailer that is just the right height for my bigfoot to claw its way up to the main deck. You may be able to get a trailer custom made for your needs cheaper then you can by one. |

I live in Nova Scotia Canada as does the fellow who built my trailer. I use my Big Foot for work (surveying) so I needed a tough no nonsense trailer with quick loading and offloading capabilities. The trailer is built with a steel frame and a 3/4 inch plywood deck. It doesn't have a conventional axle, it has "flex axles" at least thats what he called them. (spring loaded elbow shaped one piece) They are welded on both sides of the trailer no axle between them. The trailer is rated for 2000 lbs carry capacity.
It rides very well at highway speeds and because it doesn't have a full axle I can pretty much pull it anywhere my stock chev 2500 4*4 will go in rough terrain. Sure the beaver tail bottoms out now and then in the rough stuff but so does my truck! The ARGO is attached by ratchet straps from its axles to U bolts welded to the frame of the trailer on all four sides. I've had the trailer since 98' and after 60,000 miles I'm on my third set of tires, second set of bearings and two tremcad spray paint jobs. Which is not bad for the sillyness I've put it through. |

Don't neglect looking at snowmobile trailers!
I wanted a covered, low-profile trailer for my Conquest. To my good fortune, someone moved to my remote northern Arizona community that had sold his snowmobiles but kept the trailer to move his stuff. The trailer I have is a Kristy Snow Sport, made in New York. The only change I made was to the loading ramp, as the "sled" ramp doesn't work. I had one of my welder buddies build a set of 8' steel ramps that hooked to the original angle iron bracket for the "sled" ramp. It has a full-width 8'6" rear opening with double doors. I back the Conquest into the trailer. The Conquest cannot be loaded with the windshield and top up. I also have to lean over to clear the top edge of the door opening, but I can do it [and I am 6'4" tall and weigh 350 pounds]. The trailer dimensions are 8'6" wide, 12' long, and 5' tall [measured from the deck]. The trailer uses a single set of torsion bar [i.e., rubber]springs/axles that eliminates the axle portion inside of the frame rails. It's rated for 3600 pounds, has a lower profile than most covered trailers, is very secure, and carries much of the other outdoor equipment that makes a Argo expedition an enjoyable event. |

I bought an older double snowmoble trailer for my bigfoot. the trailer is about 6 by 8 and is ok except it has the little wheels under the trailer and I find you cant go fast on them at all as i have had one near blow out and one where the tire just blew and I think it is from either the weight of the argo or the fact that when it gets going too fast the tires get too hot and expand and blow. Anyway I am getting rid of the small tires as soon as possible as they really are useless |

Chris,
Below I have posted a web site link for you to check out for trailers. The company is named Trailers USA and they have several locations and tons of trailers to check out. For myself I bought a 6ft x 10ft landscape style trailer with the big drop down rear tail gate. That style trailer will fit a tracked machine very well. The trailer I bought was well under $1000 out the door cost, which included new wheels, a spare tire and bracket, bearing buddies, installed complete. They offer both new and used wheels, for the people shopping to reduce cost.

You say that you are having a hard time finding a trailer for your Bigfoot.What kind of trailer are you looking for? There are several styles that you can choose from that would work. The Bigfoot width w/tracks at 61 1/2" will fit in a standard 6'wide trailer. I have several trailer dealers in my area. I have decided to buy a new trailer to haul my machine and for other things and I have looked at several that will work. I'm just having a hard time deciding which trailer to buy. I have been using a double snowmobile trailer up until now. |

When you buy a trailer, make sure it is a bigger than the machine you are planning on hauling. I have a 6x12 trailer that will actually haul 2 of my Attex's. I drive the first one on forward and the other I back on. When I haul one, there is enough room for any other gear I would like to haul. Make sure your new trailer will at least handle the machine and a big lockable tool chest in the front for hauling extra gear safe and dry. |

Chris, I have used two trailers for towing my Argos. The first was a flatbed with long tailgate ramp. The second is a flatbed with two individual removable ramps. Both styles work fine, although I do not use tracks. Using a tilt trailer required driving on, and was a real E-ticket ride. I do not like them for amphibs. (Tilt tongue work great for boats, though.) I usually back onto the trailer and tie down with a chain from the Argo hitch receiver to the front of the trailer, and nylon ratchet straps from the winch bracket to the rear corners of the trailer. |

Yes, but it will sit crooked as one wheel has to be over the wheel well (it will ride fine this way) unless you build a support or platform. I recommend backing the machine in to prevent breaking the back window. It will ride better also having the weight toward the front of the box. |

The Max IV fits easily in a full size truck. I like to back it in so the rear tires touch against the front of the bed. I use a pallet to raise the machine above the truck's fender wells. The tailgate closes with plenty of room for gear at the front of the Max. |

Some things come to mind, get the largest tires you can, 14 OR 15 RIMS ARE GREAT FOR LONG HIGH SPEED RUNS DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE lower the deck the better it will handle at higher speed the less ground clearence you have, Some kind of front rock deflecter will be good for keeping various grits from denting and sandblasting the unit. I do not like tilting units as the axle is usually centered on the cargo deck making proper loaded wieght distribution very touchy to get right. There should always be at least 10 percent of gross weight on the hitch if less it will ruin a good day sooner or later. A lot of manufactured trailers have poor frames that do not extend all the way to the back. Lights can be another big pain if the wiring is not sealed and protected,, corrosion will eat away pins and wires within 2 years. Brakes are a good thing unless you tow a light trailer with a
larger truck. The first time that deer or somthing else appears in front of you suddenly the extra cash out lay may save major grief, and it certainly could noy hurt. |

I made my trailer myself because i could design it just for the argo. It is wide enough for rubber tracks on the avenger or supertacks on a conquest/response.The middle of the trailer is left open to save weight and to pull swamp grass from around the axles dirt and mud on the tub falls to the ground instead of on the floor of the trailer.The beaver tail on the back is appox.8" off the ground with the top height of 9 1/2" which is just below centerline of the argo axles on runamuk tires;so the argo won't want to push down when you drive up to the tail it wants to climb it; as it does with ease.That way no ramps are needed ratteling,lifting them ,having clearence for them, hinges rusting, all thats eliminated.You can see pics if you click on my name and then my home page url.I would love to see other modifications to argo's post some pics. |

You can also remove the two center wheels & tires if you want to haul it in the back of your truck. I had Max II's & it worked really well like that in My 96 F-150. Especially on long trips, it will ride level and you can still drive it straight in right over the humps with only 4 wheels & tires on! Then put them back on when you get there after off loading leave it half way on the ramps as you back it off the truck 2 wheels on the ground and 2 wheels on the ramps so the center wheels are off the ground and you won't need to jack it up or build any special platforms for the inside of your truck bed it should only take a few minutes to remove and replace 10 lugnuts a lot less time than it would take to build platforms in the back of your truck or build a new trailer. If you do build or buy a trailer I would suggest a tandem axle because if you have a flat you will have a little extra security there to protect your investment. |

I have built many trailers of my own. The last one has two ramps that tilt. I just drive the 8x8 forward and the weight shifts and the ramps tilt down. When I drive off they stay down. When I back up the ramps the weight again shifts and they tilt up. Two spring latches lock it up when it is all the way up. Its a single 5000 lb axle with elect brakes and 15 in tires.
You can get a lot of your trailer needs at www.Championtrailers.com even add on brake kits |

I've been looking at 7x10(interior) typical contractor trailers with drop gate. I had a 6 x10 built last time around but it forces you to step up into the trailer. I am thinking that with the wider wheel base I might get more stable ride and I like the idea that I can drop the gate and walk up the ramp. The only downside is that that extra foot of width means taking a bit more care down worse case narrow roads.
I agree with previous postings about having to back these in, Argo's anyway with engine up front. Otherwise you end up too much highway bounce because weights not right. I like the mesh screen bottom for tie downs, lower pull weight.
If anybody has any thoughts about trailering, I'd appreciate them. |

Well, thanks for picture. That would do it alright. However, for manueving around in the woods, trying to find a landing, backing up etc, I think an open trailer may be necessary. Still, this is very attractive option as I have no covered storage now, and soon will have two Argo's. |

I had kept the Conquest in the garage between two cars (3 car garage) but it was always in the way and the two cars it was between were cars that were rarely driven and getting the Argo out meant getting one of these cars out too. This past Christmas my gift was a 7 x 14 Well Cargo Trailer with drop door ramp. It is soooo cool to be able to have everything loaded and ready to go and just drive out of the trailer (day or night as it has outside flood lights) and go.

HAs anyone ever found the "perfect" trailer for a 8x8 Argo with tracks, most that I have found that are wide enough are way to wide and too heavy duty for a light Argo

Jeff I just use a standard 6x10 flat bed trailer, I do run one with real full size tires, not the small donut ones Brad |

Jeff, I have a 6x10 as well with a drop down ramp and the Argo fits on quite nicely. The trailer is galvanize dipped and comes with a 3500lb axle, and all wiring is in frame so you don't tear it off in the bush. I went that way so I could use it for other things as well. If you are in Ontario it's made by http://www.trailerworld.ca/. I am very happy with the construction of this trailer for the price, and couldn't find anything else locally that would compare. |
