    I need a tough little trailer ! Yours is the goal!

    I have the same trailer you are using now and it bounces badly on the rough ranch roads going to build something my self if I can find a cheap trailer.

          Your Honda rims are probably a 4/110 bolt pattern. That is 4 bolts on a 110 mm bolt circle. Most of the trailer hubs I’ve worked with are 4/4 which is 4 bolts on a 4 inch bolt circle. So the Honda bolt pattern is slightly larger than the trailer bolt pattern. Also, the center hub on the trailer hubs I’ve used are larger than the Honda rims. The options are buy wheels that will fit your hubs and tires, modify the Honda rims to fit the trailer hubs or use wheel adapters. You definitely want ATV tires for rough terrain.

            Thanks a bunch man. I’m going to look into adapters.

              There was a thread on here of a trailer build and he had a link to adapters he bought off of Amazon do a search and bet you can find it.

                  the green one above is the one I built from a Harbor Frieght trailer 4'x4' Best thing I have done for filling feeders. Used 1x6 treated decking. Had it for a few years now and I going to use it again tomorrow, have 1200 pounds of corn in the back of the truck now.

                      Great build ! How much corn can you put in it at one time ?

                        These are next on my list. Still waiting on my buddy to weld up the corners (angle) so I can add the decking / siding.

                          Trailer is rated just a bit over 1000 pounds, here is a pic with 9 50 pound bags of corn. I have had 20 bags in it before, but 20 bags is about all you can get in it without them sliding out.

                              Did some wood cutting today. Gotta weld the corners and oil the wood. Add some strap rings and extras !!!
                              Soon I hope.

                                That will work just fine, those little trailers are awsume. Also loading deer, much easier than loading them in a bed of a sxs or rack on a 4 wheeler
