Handy ATV Trailer ATV'S ATV'S 21-2-9 A small trailer lets Idado rancher Lynn Smith get a lot more done with his ATV.
He made it using the front axle off an old Ford car. Scrap steel was used to make a frame for the bed of the trailer. A triangular-shaped hitch attaches to a ball hitch on the back of the ATV, which came factory-equipped with a rear hitch.
The bed of the trailer is a piece of exterior plywood with angle iron bolted along the sides and underneath for sup-port. The angle iron along the sides helps keep bales and other loads from sliding off.
The trailer is the perfect size to hold four small square bales. The 4-wheeler can pull a load of 800 to 900 lbs. Smith uses it for bales, tools, fencing materials, sick calves, and other jobs. He's even used it as a log skidder, tying one end to the trailer and letting the other end drag on the ground.
