Quad trailer

[Dave6170]

Anyone recommend a good trailer for behind the quad for carting sheep which the bike can also fit in for behind the pickup?
Needs to be 8'x4' really to fit bike in comfortably.

Nugent would have to be worth a look!
I have a 7x4 CLH I bought new in 2005? I wouldn’t recommend another BUT that was a long time ago and they’ve seriously upgraded it since then, new axles being fitted to it next week hopefully and probably a new floor.

I know wrong size but there’s a good list of makes mentioned in it.

Got a couple of prices from nugent but they dont do a 8x4 with a sheep gate in the back door or a lamb divider

Rob Astley trailers might make it for you. Though 7x4 seems a more common size

Yeah. We have 1 that size, just too tight for our new quad and trailer is getting a bit past it aswell

Bateson make a 8x4 unbraked for large quads.

Supplied a few of these over the years.
Uprated hubs to save wheel bearings needing changed so often and with commercial spec tyres

Lovely trailers, but a bit big for a quad in my opinion.

The trailer in the picture was built with only 50mm clearance lenthwise

But I mean to pull behind a quad, half that size would be far more maneuverable.

You will note that’s not what the op wanted.!- Wants to put the bike in it and can also tow it with the bike.

Yes Mursal, I totally agree with you there, A heavy pull empty, worse when filled with wet sheep etc.

Yeah those road going tyres won’t be the best in the field.

Are there any good tyres that are really dual purpose or at least take 35-40mph?
I fitted the heavy duty tyres from a logic bale transporter (unsure if your familiar with the size) onto my 7x4 trailer and now it doesn’t make a mark with 7 big ewes in it. The standard balloon tyres that were on it from new looked like they’d burst with 7 ewes in!

It’s been mentioned before- how about the Swaledale trailer with the big wheels. It’s an 8 x 4
