Tilt bed trailer questions for Ranger with tracks

[Pigsticker]

Hey all,

I am looking at buying a trailer for a ranger with tracks. I am interested in the Aluma brand with the tilt bed feature but have heard some concerning whispers of problems loading a ranger with tracks.

I heard that since the tracks are so long, that when you load the front of the ranger it hits the tipping point of the trailer bed before the back tracks have started on the back of the bed. This would be disasterous for loading. I have spoke with a couple dealers and some know nothing at all of this and a couple have said that it could potentially be a problem.

Anybody have any first hand experience with tilt bed trailers and rangers (UTVs) with tracks?

every trailer is going to be different. I would suggest finding a dealer that will let u try loading your SxS to know exactly if it will work for your set-up

Is there not a way to adjust that tension? I would think there would be....

Think of the wheel base of most side by sides....way more time before the second wheel hits versus tracks.

depends on the trailer... go with a hydraulic or ramp for no worries...

with a drop deck and a little snow, wouldn't even have to use the ramps... just pull up to a ditch or snow bank to load or unload...

This setup seems to work well.

I load mine on a 16ft trailer with sides and a ramp. Would love to get a skid house to pull behind the ranger but think I'll need a bigger trailer to fit both on.
