Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

O.K. here goes I have been around boats my whole life but I have just got the bug for something to do in the winter around the midwest/Chicago. This is where the question comes in, do we have any enclosed sled trailer experts on the board??? I know Myco is the best boat trailer but who makes the best enclosed sled trailer. It needs to have room for at least 5-sleds, and thats all I know. Does anybody have a connection on a good trailers??? what brands should I look at I live on the south side of Chicago but can travel if the deal is right. I really don't have a clue where to start on this one......Thanx in advance....BZ

They show nothing bigger than 24 ft ????

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

Triton and Haulmark sled trailers are the best in my opinion. Timberwolf are decent. I am going to a sled show this Saturday south of Grand Rapids Michigan. Call me if you want to go.

BTW, most enclosed sled trailers are either 4 or 6 place trailers. You rarely see 6 place enclosed trailers.

Hollar at me, I have been riding forever, I can give you the skinny!

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

Triton and hallmark make about the best snowmobile trailers I have ever used/bought. As far as a 6 place,good luck,your getting into something huge their as far as winter time towing and turning around on tight snow covered trailheads plus they are very uncommon. Stay away from snowcat,sno rebel or anything that is a off brand,cheaper looking trailer. They are poorly built,skimp on hdware and materials,quickly fall apart plus poor fit and finish,Smitty

There was a guy on here a couple years ago called Mr. Offshore or something. He was/is in Indianapolis, and I believe he made/sold enclosed trailers.

If you got the bucks, get Featherlite.

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

That is bad ass!!!

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

word!
It has been a few years since I played with sleds but, Featherlite followed by Pace would be my choice for best mass marketed. I know there are specialty trailers out there but don't know of any names just lots of dough.
I ran a 4 spot Interstate, never a problem (lots of miles on it). 6 is big load though. you didn't mention what type and size machines but you can figure each will average 4'W x 10'L

I figure that I will need a trailer 24 ft+ and it looks like Wells Cargo is out front right now??? will this work???

This weekend if your are in Crystal Lake stop by and see Adams Trailers on Rt 120 in McHenry. It is very close to where you will be. They is on of the the largest trailer dealers in the state. They will have a lot to look at and give you good advise on what you might need. The new thing in trailers for snowmobiles are the narrow versions that will hold sleds at a stagger. The idea is they are easier to tow and see around. I prefer the larger trailers myself. You are going to need a six place trailer which will be well over 30'. A 24' is only a 4 place which is what I have. My trailer that also will haul autos which comes in real handy at times. Mine is a steel trailer for the strength while some are aluminum. The aluminum trailers are more money, lighter and will not rust. Wells Cargo is a good brand. But there are a lot of good trailer manufacturers out there. Rule is you will get what you pay for. My brother is a partner in one of the largest trailer manufacturers in the Western states (Mirage).

A lot of wildside trailers are showing up at the racetracks these days. We have one and they seem to be good solid trailers. http://www.wildsidellc.com/default.html They are out of Tennessee.

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

Featherlite. They are more money but well worth it. I have had Wells Cargo, Pace and Triton. All enclosed. The 26' Featherlite I now have is a better trailer, hands down. Not that the others are bad, just not in the league.

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

Well guys I got my sled out today in Northern Michigan and rode in 8" of wet snow! :evilb:

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

Triton Pace Wells Cargo have best rep in Ontario

I would never have a six sled trailer. Pain in the ass. All you are is a bus for your buddies who very rarely get to go all at same time anyway. Too bluddy cumbersome.

Popular trailers seen more and more up here are 2 sled single file trailers Easier to use mirrors while driving and backing up is a snap.
I am in gravel business so I had trailer custom built to replicate dump trailer. Tilts so after opening barn doors on back end of trailer tilts so back is touching ground. I leave tilted while I sled for day and drive right in when finished. No ramps nothing No latches that freeze up quarter the wind resistence of one of those giant sails most people yank down the road.

Enjoy your sledding. If you want me to look for good used 4 sled up here I would gladly help you.

I have a 28' enclosed only it is for ATV's. It is a Classic trailer made out of Michigan and is very nice. It does take a decent sized truck to pull it. Pulls much different than a boat.

Bob, I Am 50 Miles South Of Chicago And Travel 8 Or So Hours To Sled 5-8 Times A Winter In The U.p. Of Michigan. Towing Anything Bigger Than A 4 Place Enclosed Can Get Very Hairy From Time To Time. I Also Agree With Everyone That The Aluminum Is The Way To Go. We Have A Dozen Guys Down Here That Go Up Regularly And We Have Everything In Our Group From Triton, Bearcat,featherlite, Etc. They All Are Good Trailers. I Have An Aluminum 4-place Enclosed Bearcat. I Love It. Fold-down Rear Door And Fold Down Front Door. My Buddy Has The Floe Trailer Which Went A Few Inches Wider This Year And A Few Inches Longer. Holds Up Excellent. It Also Has Oil-bath Bearings Which Are Much More Efficient And New Technology. All These Are Going To Be 7-10k For A Good One. Good Luck.

Re: Need Snow Mobile Trailer help
 

Featherlite, Classic or Haulmark.

I was always told to go aluminum (with a sled hauler) but after talking with some owner of aluminum trailers they told me that they have issues just like steel ones , stuff corroding , fatique cracks that kind of stuff.
I have a 25' Haulmark, I painted the frame with this black epoxy paint ($80 a gallon) which is supposed to withstand rust , and I've had the trailer 3 years now and its still in great shape. Sure it's heavy but that's no big deal.
The inlines are really popular right now but I would never buy one.
