Guys:
I bought a Polaris Ranger and it won't fit my 5 X 8 trailer, so now I need a replacement. I found on the Net a nice set of 3500 lb. tandem axles with 13" wheels. The question is whether to build a 6 X 10 with the extra axle and face possible trouble with Ontario Ministry of Transport inspections, or leave it off and make a light-weight UTV-hauler.
Most of the trailer's use will be around the tree farm, as I don't anticipate towing the Ranger much. I do need a highway hauler for lumber, logs, and machinery, though. My truck is a 4 cylinder Toyota 4X4, so keeping the unit light and low is a priority.
