Are you hauling them with a single axle or tandem axle traile? I’m needing to buy a trailer but don’t want to under buy or over buy because the price difference is a minimum of $1,000.00. Thanks

Yeah you’re right consider what you buy. I use a single but wish I had gotten a longer one or tandem axle in retrospect. Extra room for stuff would have been better though it’s easy to haul. If I was doing it again I would have gone 16 foot minimum instead of 12.

I use a 6x12 single axle to transport my Polaris ranger crew, no issues. But trailers are like most other things, better to go bigger/heavier than you think you need.

Im going to make a suggestion based off years of experience. A single axle will get you by. You need a tandem axle that’s at minimum 14’ and 16’ is better. If you haul it with any attachments or implements to your destination anything shorter won’t be enough, especially if it’s a unit with more than one row of seats.

Mines a crew 570.
It’s 11 and a half feet long.
I pull it with my 16 ft trailer for my tractor cause I can’t see buying another one just for that. If I could get by with ten ft. Maybe. So double for me.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I have a single axle 6x12 to haul my Ranger 900 and never had any problems. Never occurred to get dual axle as I was just needing something bigger than my 6x8 I had for the ATV. My next one will probably be dual axle just to have it.

I believe i would get a tandem just for the extra tire on that side if you have a blowout. Atleast then you dont have to leave it sitting on the side of the interstate, you can limp it on to the tire store. If you were being thrifty, a 12ft single axel will do.

Brother had his Honda 1000-5 on a single for a few years. Really wore the inside of the tires from the weight. Traded up to a dual axle with brakes and it’s night and day difference pulling it.

Towing wise tandem will always be better. I like being able to move mine around by hand without blowing a hernia. I have a 6x12

If you can afford a tandem, get a tandem

This is why I said what I’ve said about a tandem. Singles will wear badly on the inside from the weight is a SxS.

I think a lot depends on how often you use the trailer too. If it’s twice a year, tire wear won’t matter.

What JW said, get a tandem then if a tire blows you can probably still get to your destination.
And if you have to haul other stuff, which you will, bigger is better.

Single axle will hold it but also depends on the SxS. I had a 1000 and dialed back to a 520. It isn’t very big and doesn’t weigh much.

Either way you go….Make sure the lug nuts come tight from the factory or tighten them if not…speaking of personal experience 😂
