Woods trailer 2.0

[Jim Timber]

Headache rack and some bedrails up next, but for now she's done.

Very nice!!!

 

[Jim Timber]

Got the seat done so I can hopefully haul my FIL out into the woods for Christmas - first time he'll have been back there in 30+ years (long before I owned it).

 

[Jakers]

may i suggest railings or at least an armrest to help him make it to the woods and back without falling off the seat???

 

[Jim Timber]

I'm going to add arm rests. I need to position him in the seat to find out were they'll go.

I'm also not going to take him flying around. This'll be more hay ride speed.

You didn't have an old recliner laying around to use instead of the bench?

Also, hopefully the CO from the exhaust won't be too bad. I know it gets kind of thick right behind my 550 at slow speeds.

This will live outside year round for the foreseeable future.

I've got a turned down tip on the muffler. It blows leaves around, and isn't bothersome for people being hauled in the other trailer. That one's much closer and not elevated as much. This should be a big improvement in the health department.

Just duct tape him on there... ha ha
Love the trailer, just wondering though, it looks like your atv could pull much more of a trailer than that??? why that size?

 

[Jim Timber]

This fills a specific need at my place. I have some wide trails, and I have areas where I don't want to cut wide trails. By keeping within the width of the atv, it limits the need to open up more clearance.

I built it as strong as I did because I had the tubing on hand, and I plan to use it for hauling dirt to create at least one dam. I also plan on loading it to the hilt with short wood, but I'm pretty sure dirt will be the biggest load.

I love it Jim! Can't wait to see it finished with a load of wood in it!

 

[Jim Timber]

Made some log stakes today:

Uprights are half painted:

Offset pockets are drying:

These will wedge themselves into the pockets due to the seam flash inside the 2x4 tubing on the trailer. No pinning needed, and no rattles.

The tubes are 1.25" and also fit snug into the brackets due to the seam flash in them. Hopefully it won't trash the paint too much, but it's easy enough to touch up too. I wasn't motivated to bore them out on the lathe.
