Quad trailer

[pendle]

A mate has just bought one of these to extract the fallow out of are permission.
£325 great value but not road worthy.
Well made with sides

Be interesting to see how stable it is on slopes when it's got a deer on board. Looks to be a bit high off the ground.

How do you load them? The one thing I've found with bigger deer is that picking them up for loading is a pia. I tend to use my Ifor trailer with tailboard for reds as dragging them up a ramp is achievable. Lifting them in over the side is a non-starter.

I was considering getting a quad and decided the ideal trailer would be large enough to carry the quad, but small enough for the quad to tow. Single or tandem axles is another decision. Size and type of tyres?

Looks like a great small trailer, certainly easier than dragging them. I have a slightly larger off road trailer that also tilts, nice and easy to load.

It does look quite high and the draw bar quite short. I use the IFW trailer I tow the quad in which is fine unless the ground is really rough due to the limited ground clearance.

I've got an Ifor P6e with the wider floatation tyres on. Pulls the quad and then goes on the back of the quad for extraction. Fine except for roughest ground but I can usually drag stuff in a tray behind the quad to get it to the trailer if I need.

It is high . The tracks that we have to use are good with it being SSSI . VSS .Getting back from below Gareth's it's ideal.
It's Inspector Gadgets ( Steve's ) new toy
The price on the one at the stalking show was £725.00 .
Steve can use it at home as well

Generally if it's big enough to tow the quad it will be too big for the quad to tow on anything other than tracks

I know Barry was at the Stalking Show so assume you mean these trailers: Glade Deer Management

I think the Crytec ones will be fine for relatively flat ground. I use one of Barry's (as per above) and it will go anywhere the quad will and that means 90% of the hill in the high Perthshire hill I use it on. Three seasons in and I haven't tipped it up as it's as low as it can be

True to a certain point but it depends upon the ground. On our shoot, my P6e tows well off-road and has the capacity to take large numbers of our feeders. On another piece of ground, I have a Iron Ox trailer that I made capable of being disassembled so that it fits under/over the quad in the P6e. Not idea but it does increase my capacity on that ground.

I was only really basing it on the Ifor Williams we use to tow the quad behind the truck. If you put deer in that on the hill/clearfell you'd knacker the engine and tip it over

Looks like a cost effective solution, thanks for sharing. Local smithy built?

For the red deer we tend to pull the carcass up one footrest and slide it up and over the rear wheel arch, and on to the rear rack that way. With hill beasts it’s possible to have two on the back rack and one on the front, but (disclaimer) - be careful on the way out!

A couple of hours with the welder.
Done out of necessity as mark one was nicked with the quad last year .
A few bits of scrap and a twenty quid strap winch off eBay.I have managed to pile 3 fallow on the back they need tying down a bit careful

Ive got the exact same trailer as that behind our quad. Also doubles up perfectly to get firewood out of the hard to reach places.
my lad only paid £100 for it.

Got a very similar Erdé trailer for the job over the easier terrain, paid £120 for a good 2nd hand one. Light as a barrow, yet capable.
