Is this a good trailer?

[Mike Stark]

he has gone down to 525. the big thing is the location. i live in ely...lots of trailer in the cities but not as many up my way. this one is close.

what about this one? asking 750. 1998 Triton XT Aluminum 2 place Snowmobile trailer with tilt bed, includes salt shield, ski runners, and track mat on one side. New rims and tires put on last year, great condition.

That's what I did last year. I looked for a long time before I pulled the trigger. You'll have little worries if it's in solid condition. I haven't had a single problem. They do their job very well. Easy to load and unload and easy to haul a porty as well. My only problem is that's it's hard for me to back up the trailer with the salt guard on, can't see the back of the trailer. I took the guard off and a cover on the sled and throw the porty in the back of the truck now. Works for me!! I had a problem with the rust on the utility trailers. I remember, when I was looking, new ones were rusting outside the stores they were being sold at. Stick with aluminum or galvanized trailers, you wont regret it.

so...im looking at single place....4.5x8 for $250. he says its in good shape. i could keep my shelter in the back of my explorer and my sled on the trailer. i would also save alot of cash.

I have a 5 x 8 but I did but treated plywood on it... that mesh is pretty weak but I haul a fairly good sized Bike on mine in the summer at times also.

Go with the 2 place snowmobile trailer Mark.

[Mike Stark]

its hard to pass up this single place. i would save around 500bucks. thats pretty big.

do whatever makes you happy and works best for your needs.

[Mike Stark]

thats good advice tyler...thanks.

i just like hearing others opinions. this is only my third winter in ely..im still a newbie when it comes to snowmobile trailers.

Get the two place snowmoble trailer. I own a trailer like the first one posted, and I love it EXCEPT for MN winters. I took my set up out fishing Sunday and I had to come home and wash off the wheeler, wipe down the strike master, and hose down the top of my otter cover because of all that salt and road grime... after that light snow we got Saturday night. With the pilewood floor and the salt guard, I think it will be WORTH your money IMO. Plus it will be easier with the snowmobile IMO. I can send pictures of mine from Sunday afternoon if you want to see what you are store for.

Sounds like a real good price at $575.00.I would buy it.

[Mike Stark]

i think im going to stay away from the utility trailer. i will only use the trailer in the winter. i would have to do some work on it and right now i dont have a ton of time to work on a trailer.

im leaning toward the 4.5x8 tilt snowmobile trailer for 250 bucks. it is licensed and ready to go...and it is close to ely.

[Mike Stark]

250bucks is good price for a single place in decent condition....right?

[Tyler23]

250bucks is good price for a single place in decent condition....right?

that sounds like a good price to me if its in good shape especially

[Mike Stark]

went with a single place (4.5x8) for $250. the price was right and it is going to be easy for me to pick up. my snowmachine was only $100. thats a total of $350. not bad.

thanks for the help.

if anyone wants the trailer in the first post...check CraigsL in duluth.

if yor loading and unloading your sled a bunch, you would really want a tilt trailer, that is unless your sled has reverse, otherwise you have to pull, pull, pull, and pull some more. It's easy to ride up the ramp and on but wow it sucks pulling it off.
