Snowmobile Trailer ????


gonehunting

Recommended Posts

I am looking to buy a new snowmobile trailer to haul my atv and fishhouse. I am using it for this exclusively as I have no sleds, yet. Just wanted to hear the good and bads of the major brands. Aluma, Triton, Sledbed, Bear Track, etc. Are any better than the others. I know some have had issues with welds/frames cracking etc but not sure which ones. I appreciate any suggestions. I have most major brands available in my area.

I bought a Neuman Alumnan trailer two years ago. 6x10 with drop down ramp. It handles my ATV with plow blade attached and Clam Yukon behind it, standing on somewaht on edge. I really like the trailer, use it to haul riding mower to the cabin as well. The light weight is nice when pushing it into the garage. Neuman is made in Royalton MN.

All the Brands you mention would be fine. Down fall to Atv/sled trailer is hauling capacity typically 2000-2200 gvw trailer ways 500-700 lbs so if you every plan on using it for anything else it is very easy to max out there is a lot of options with a 3500# axels that would hold up better in the long run. I realize you said you were only going to use it for atv and fish house but there are alot of utility trailers that would also work. If going with a sled trailer I would at least get one with a A-frame tongue VS. just a straight tong. There are also some Stainless trailers out there I believe they are called Royal out of Wis. that are good too.

I bought the Aluma 5410 a couple of years ago and it is working out very well for me. It's lightweight, and tows like it isn't even behind you. But like mentioned above, it doesn't carry a lot of weight, but if you are using it only for ATV and ice fishing use, it is perfect. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. My next one will be the 6316, a little wider and long enough for two ATV's. Someday.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
