Beartrack aluminum made in Evansville. My family has 7 of their trailers and 2 of us have the pickup ramps. I have the 12 ft. Haul a utv and a trail mower(tongue under utv). Utv and otter trailer. Atv and lawn tractor. Atv and digger or drag That’s what I have 14 foot. It’s a great trailer.

I only have s trailer for my mule and I told the dealer I wanted the smallest trailer it would fit on. I like being able to wheel it around by hand. I also use it for ice fishing and sometimes parking is an issue. I probably not normal on this one.

I have a 14' cheap angle iron trailer with the fold up and down ramps. I don't like it. I wish I'd spent an extra $1,000 and gone aluminum or powder coated. It's a rust bucket. I need to sand blast it and start over before it falls apart. One near-term chore I've got is to paint the underneath metal with used motor oil. Doing that once a year seems to help stuff around Nassau Deluxe from rotting away. My FIL just sold a 20+ year old stock trailer that looked like it was 100 years old before he washed off the layers of old oil. Afterwards, the paint was still shiny orange, no rust.

A 12' trailer should be long enough to haul a 10' UTV? Quite a few variables in UTV sizes Stu. I haul my Honda UTV on a ten foot trailer.....and it fits.....barely. More room would be nice. I believe a 12 footer is about right for most folks and UTV's. This

If you have the truck to haul it, and the space on your property to store it, get a bigger trailer than minimum of what you need.
Goes for buying any kind of trailer IMO.

I like trailers that have the same width (at the tires) as my tow vehicle. Especially in the winter, they tow somewhat better and don't cut another track.

My Beartrack utility trailer is exactly the width of my truck. I considered a wider trailer, but I really dont need wider. If there would have been a 14 ft available, I would have bought that. Be nice to be able to haul 2 ATVS.

Stu, That's the same trailer as I linked before and bought last Thursday except cheaper! Should be perfect for what you described previously.

Should be perfect for what you described previously. ^That seems like a great price and perfect for what you need. I think I will upgrade mine this summer with one like that. I kinda like the wood floor over aluminum. A bit easier to haul some things without damage.....and you can nail into it if you have that need. I have used old motor oil to apply to my car trailer bed every other year or so. Takes a few days to soak in. Not sure it's needed with treated wood....but it can't hurt.
