I'd pay the fine and get a better (Bigger) trailer. Like stated above, the quads came off once they may do it again. My husband wanted to load one with the wheels up on the trailer we borrowed and I wouldn't allow it. Made him take two trips. His defense, was that he sees it being done all the time. Personally I see a lot of things being done all the time that I wouldn't do. The quads are worth a lot of money. I wouldn't risk their harm, nor would I want to risk the harm of innocent people behind/beside me.
As for your defense, do some internet research for your state. Find out what your local laws are. Maybe call the local precinct and see if they can provide you with the trailor laws for you area. You can use the information to fight the ticket, but I would also let the judge know that even if it isn't against the law and the ticket is unfounded that you have learned a very valuable lesson.
