[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 683117, member: 2736"] I built my ATV trailer with the 44" max width requirement in the national forest in mind. I understand that they can be wider now but I would check just to make sure if anyone is going to build one. The first configuration Used the 8"x8'' tires used on the pop up trailers. they worked great but if I lowered the air pressure to less than 15 pounds they couldn't keep the bead seal and would go flat. (The reason for low air pressure is the sharp rocks where we hunt will cut the tires if the inflation is very much. I also used 2500 pound capacity springs to Carry around 1200 pounds of corn and empty it was like it had no springs. So to correct this, I modified a set of hubs to fit a Honda ATV rim and the big ATV tires have solved all of the problems and goes through Mud and snow much better and I can still place 25- 50pound bags of corn in the trailer without over loading it. I use it for hauling everything including 3 or 4 hunters if nessary and it doesn't beat them up like it did with the regular tires and it will Carry all of the goose decoys you can use through the marsh or flooded rice fields with little effort. The big ATV tires just fit under the trailer without having to use fenders that can get damaged going through tight places. I jokingly call it the "Swamp Thing" but I would not do without it.
