Glad to have a place to ask questions, can not always trust the salesmen!
Thinking of the Honda Pioneer 700, the back jump seat makes a huge amount of sense to me.
But first I need a trailer. Thinking an enclosed trailer would give me a handy place to store the machine all year. Looks like I need about 6 x 10, or 6 x 12. BUT: how do you tie it down inside the trailer, if there is only 3 inches on each side. And- is it possible to climb out the trailers side door, after pulling the UTV into the trailer?
And here is the kicker- where do I find a trailer with 78 or 79 inches inside height? Looks like ALL of them are 6 foot inside.
Or would the roll cage unbolt in 2 or 3 minutes? I'd still have to wiggle it in there.
Additional consideration, should I look for a double axle, or stick with a single axle? Either tow vehicle has excess capacity, no trouble there.
An open trailer means I would have to tarp it and park it in a (crowded) carport. Also, I can toss a canoe or kayak on top of an enclosed trailer. No need to weld up a canoe rack that would somehow fit over the UTV.
Thanks for your thoughts. Hope to see you on the trail in 2016!
