Trailer Size for Banshee and YZ250?

[Driggs]

I'm needing a trailer for my Banshee and YZ250. Anybody hauling this combo? Need to know a good trailer size that works best.

Kinda hard to say, lots of things that come down to what you want. I'd park then side by side and measure how much room that you need, then add any space that you may want for gear, fuel cans, coolers and stuff and go from there.

If you're going long distances, I'd get one with two axles...

There is no need for 2 axles to haul 1 dirt bike and 1 quad. A trailer with a 2000 pound axle and 14 or 15 inch wheels will be sufficent. Taller tires are more important than 2 axles because taller tires slow down the number of revolutions per mile and make the bearings last longer, by taller i mean like a normal car size tire instead of a little 8 or 10 inch trailer tire. Now, if you get a trailer for this combo, what happens when you get something different for rides. I have outgrown my second trailer that I custom built to haul my 3 quads,and now I need something that will haul 3 quads,my generator, firewood and my pickup bed box when I have the camper on the pickup. I would recomend the biggest trailer that you have room to store and vehicle to tow it with,with in reason.

It really depends on how much you are going to use it and how far you plan to travel. Like a few people on here i built me a custom trailer with dual axles and tall tires. Bansheesandrider explained it clearly. Taller tires changes the gearing for the trailer thus making your bearing last a lot longer. But there is a whole lot more to consider. I have a 16x 6 and i can hold my shee my girls kfx 450 and room to spare for equipment and supplies. You would have to take a lot of things into consideration. You can use a small trailer and fit what you got but i say more is better.

I agree that once you get up to about 16 feet or more that it should have tandem axles because there is a probability that it will be used for more than hauling ATVs. But for 14 foot or less and no more than three quads a single axle is perfectly acceptable. If the combine weight of the quads and trailer is 3500 pounds or less, a single axle trailer is perfectly fine regardless of how far you are going. A tandem axle trailer for that kind of weight is just unneccasary drag behind you.
