so bone stock quads would fit, but you're running at the max which wears out parts faster. but start adding accessories on. and you're over loaded real quick. Larger axle, or tandem axle is the way to go if you ask me.Looks like 3 Sportsman would fit, guaging from the front machine being a Sportsman.....

Trailer Link: THREE PLACE ATV TRAILER
But it says one # 3500 axle. So.... ~810 X 3 = ~2430 (3 Sportsman 850 "wet" weight), Now 2430 + 850 (trailer weight) = 3280 Total weight.
# 3500 - # 3280 = # 220 pounds of "wiggle room" for fluids and any accessories.
Specs state "Carry Capacity" = # 2650 pounds.
It would pass technically, but just barely!! And be just at it's absolute max!!
I'd agree with you 100%.... I wouldn't recommend it either, but "technically", the numbers work (@ stock weights, no accessories)....but ever so barely, with only a couple hundred pounds of weight capacity to spare!! Optimal by no means..... but technically legal!!so bone stock quads would fit, but you're running at the max which wears out parts faster. but start adding accessories on. and you're over loaded real quick.

Hauled them this way with friends before..... worked slick!! Not to mention multi purpose and heavy duty on the trailer purpose. Usually a used car trailer can be had for the same price as a decent brand new utility trailer. And is easily 1/2 ton towable with 4-5 wheelers loaded in tow!I have an 18' car trailer and can fit 4 utility quads on there. It's heavy duty and tows great.
Yeah, I bought this trailer when I was drag racing and decided to keep it after I sold my race car. It has 4 wheel brakes and really can haul about anything you can think of.Hauled them this way with friends before..... worked slick!!

Many car haulers have either drive over fenders or drop out fenders that pivot out of the way so you'd be driving over the tire, not the metal fender. I personally like the drive over option.Thanks for the input I think what i'll do is look for some sort of dual axle car hauler/flat bed. With the weight of 3 big Sportsmans it is pushing the limits of a single axle trailer.
With a car hauler any idea of how to get the ATV over the trailer wheels when side loading?
We hauled the Honda's between the wheel wells.... had better racks bumpers to grab onto and drag them around. But otherwise, if side loading, just use the ramp and drive over them. :dunno:Thanks for the input I think what i'll do is look for some sort of dual axle car hauler/flat bed.
