Here are a couple facts to consider on this ATV and trailer . A 260 cc engine equals about 8 hp most lawn tractors have twice the hp. and are geared for pulling . That ATV will weigh about 300#. The trailer you hope to build will weigh 10 times the ATV when loaded. Imagine a 5,000# truck trying to pull a 50,000# load. ATV tires are not much more than heavy duty inner tubes with treads with a weight rating of about a couple hundred pounds each.
I have a very light weight 4x6 trailer with 16" sides and a 4WD ATV. I have buried all 4 tires trying to pull some loads.
