Affordable Heavy Equipment Maintenance

If you live in a rural area and have a significant amount of property, having an ATV can be helpful in a variety of ways. Which this off-road vehicle is often seen as a source of recreation, it's also a valuable tool for a number of different outdoor projects — not to mention simply helping you get from one area of your property to another quickly and easily. To make the most of your ATV, it's ideal to invest in a several different trailers that can help you with your myriad outdoor projects. Here are three trailers to consider.

General Utility Trailer

General utility trailers for ATVs come in a variety of styles, but they're typically of the flatbed variety. Consisting of a flat bottom and small sides, this simple design means that these trailers are versatile and useful for a seemingly endless list of jobs. For example, if you're collecting leaves in paper bags, you can stand several bags in the trailer and transport them to a dump pile somewhere in your yard or to the curb for collection by your local waste management service. Additionally, you can also load this trailer with tools — for example, saws and other gear for cutting trees — and transport them to the part of your property that you're working.

Dump Trailer

An ATV dump trailer is a valuable addition for anyone who spends a lot of time working outdoors with the help of an ATV. Like a dump trailer you'd pull behind a pickup truck, this receptacle can be dumped with the flick of a quick-release latch. Whether you're loading it with dirt for building a garden, rocks that you'll pulled out of your lawn, firewood or any other type of element from your yard, you'll be able to transport the contents with ease and dump them where you need them.

Hunting Trailer

Whether you have enough property that you hunt on it or you take your ATV to hunt somewhere else in the area, a hunting trailer will make your life much easier. Hunting trailers come in several different styles, but a common design has small walls around the sides of the trailer but an opening at the rear, which will allow you to load any game that you've killed with ease. These trailers can be outfitted with a number of accessories, including a winch device to help you load game that is too heavy to load by hand.
