I use mine. It's a 2 place Sled Bed brand.

I have a four place "snowmobile" trailer.
I can fit 6 quads in there nose to butt.....
I just have the flush mount tie "D" rings on the floor.

I love it because I can load from the front or rear.
There are no wheel wells inside.
And it has great ground clearance.
I plan of putting some storage compartments and a fuel station underneath it.

Good luck

Its what I use, and it seems to work out good. Just keep an eye on the wheel bearings, those little tires do alot of rpm.

My neighbor and I use his 2 place sled trailer to haul our quads. The trailer has several places to hook a tie down to. If there are none on your trailer, go buy some high grade eye bolts and mount them up.

I use my Triton 10' tilt for 2 quads and a dirt bike (sometimes). I put eye bolts in where the ski bars bolt down. I also installed E-track systems for them, but it's not really necessary unless you like gadgets. BR>
I have an aluminum top cap for my sleds, but the quads are about 2 inches too tall for the cap. I'm still looking at how to make it work.

The tilt works fine. Just double up on your straps for safety margins. I strap down the frame, not necessarily the suspension. If you strap up high, they can bounce and you will loose straps or worse. I have to make sure the quads are slightly forward of the axle to prevent sway.

Ditto on the bearing thing. I blew some tread this summer. Those little 8 inch tires spin really fast and the extra heat in the summer does them no good.

Hello zr7cat. I use my sled trailer to carry my quads. I have flush mounted rings in the floor that I use to tie both my sleds and my quads down. It works great. See my pics.
I hope this helps.

Hey zr7cat. You are about 80 miles from a lot of great trails up in West Branch. We have been to Bullgap, Ambrose, Leota, St helens, Meadows up in West branch, and the Mounds near Flint. My favorite so far is Bull Gap. My wife's favorite is Leota. There are something like 50 trail systems in Michigan.

Does anybody use their two place enclosed snowmobile trailer for trailering quads. This is what I plan on using when I get my new Z 400 hopefully pretty soon. I think it should work out pretty good. I will just need to put something down on the bed of the trailer to use for my tie downs.

Why not? It will work out pretty sweet I think. It is not going to hurt anything.

Thats what I had in mind. I'll put two flush mounted ones in there To tie down the back end of the quads, just like you have. I'll use my two tie down bars for my sleds and hook to that for the front. I have a triton drive on drive off trailer. Now I just need to get my quad!! Thanks Bryce, where do you ride at in Michigan. My dad just bought an 05 Honda 400ex, so we plan on doing some riding this year. We live in the Flint area.
