That is a nice trailer and not a bad price! That is going to minimize your trips back and forth and man That looks like fun to load and work with! Thanks for the demonstration!
It sure is! Can't really call it work when it's that much fun. :) So far it's allowed me to take the same amount to the log yard in one trip that used to take three. It's a great little wagon. Thanks for watching, Lucas!
Sometimes I listen to your videos when I drive. Sometimes I have to come back and watch it through. Great video, David!
Was this a listener or a watcher, Logan? Either way, I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening and/or watching, my friend! 😄
@@PaleHorseOutdoors I listen mostly as Logan Hurst on my phone, then watch via this channel USUALLY. This was both!
@@FabbedFun Well thank you kindly for the double view! I appreciate it, sir!
That’s a nice little trailer! Should come in very useful on the trails!
I think so too! It's working out really well, Ben. It fits on those trails really nicely! Thanks for watching, buddy :)
That's a handy cart. I see some wood floors and sides in the future to haul dirt and leaves!! Take care. B&D
Hey Brad & Deb. It ships with some kind of cloth fiber insert for that, but I think it's mainly for leaves or something because I don't think it would keep any finer material in. For now, I've been using the crate box that my Big Tool Rack came in and the concept is solid. I'm going to make some removeable wood panels for it this summer! Thanks for watching, friends! :)
Hi David! Looks like a very nice logging wagon! I remember seeing it in the Northern Tool catalog. The fifth wheel design is a real advantage in tight spaces but is a booger bear backing up. You’ll be able to haul a lot of stuff on it and not just logs. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Martin! That's right, Northern Tool has this one and another UTV utility cart from Bannon. Both of them seem to be really good wagons, but this one looked the most sturdy for logs. I like that it's on 2 axles so I can drop it from the tractor and it stays level. It's the perfect size for my woods and narrow trails for logging and you're right - I can put in side panels to make a haul box or I can remove the bolsters and make a flatbed. Thanks again, my friend! I really appreciate it! Cheers :)
Good day - I have some experience towing equipment with a wheel at each corner of the trailer during my time in the military. We had large heavy boxes that contained communications and computers for various command and control missions. The front wheels used a drag link system to steer and keep the tires aligned. The point to this comment is to advise you not to back your trailer. As you stated, it will not go where you want it to go and backing with a load will put a lot of stress on the tongue of the trailer and damage it. And if you are towing on very uneven terrain, consider putting a “pintle hook” hitch on the trailer. It’s what we used in the military and they articulate a lot better then a ball hitch. Enjoy the journey - cheers
Hi Bob! Good to see you man, it's been a while. I hope you're doing well. I didn't even think of getting a towing pintle instead of the ball hitch. I pulled a lot of big trailers while in the Army and that hitch helped me get a 16' tacsat dish and two other prime mover/trailer combos down the bombed out Baghdad highway with relative ease. Great idea man! Take care, my friend! Cheers
Nice trailer to haul your firewood logs! Thanks for sharing!
Agree 100%, Jeff! It's working out great. Thanks for watching, buddy!
Great cart great review
As I was watching looks to me if you had long enough logs you could eliminate the middle post and allow you easier access with your grapple or forks in my case.
Definitely looks well built!
Thanks for sharing

Hey Phil, that's a good idea! I need to see if my grapple fits between the two outer poles. That would really make things better. I appreciate it you watching, my friend! :) Cheers!
David, A Neat little Trailer. Very Handy, Take Care and Stay Safe 🚜👍🏼🪵🇺🇸
Hey Larry! Yes sir it's working out great for my land. I appreciate it my friend!
Looks like it’ll do exactly what you need it to (well, except to back up straight). You’ll need to tap into your inner farmer to learn to back a wagon like that! 😁😂
Hey no kidding, man! I've backed a lot of different trailers in my life, but this one is a little tricky. LOL Thanks for watching, my friend! I really appreciate it! :)
Great looking trailer David, and I can see many uses for it. When you were setting the trailer up I was saying "Think David, Think, Yo need to be able to hook the tractor back up to the cart" But it turned and pulled by hand very easily.
LOL yeah it was awkward, but my mistake allowed me a good way to demonstrate how well that setup works in tight areas. You know how it is when you're filming - you tend to get ahead of yourself and forget things along they way. HaHa. Thanks for watching, Joey :)
Pretty handy wagon 👍 looks like it is perfect for your property. Thanks for the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Hey Mitch! Agree 100% my friend. It's really helping things out a lot around here. Thanks for watching, buddy. Have a great weekend 😁👍
Hey David , very nice log trailer . I do believe you are going to get a lot use out of it . Thanks for sharing !!
I agree with you, Del. I've used it already more than I thought I would. I knew I needed a trailer for the property and boy was I right! Thanks for watching, buddy and I'll see you soon! :)
That's some great equipment! I like simple design but good working equipment
Exactly! Simple, but very effective. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! :)
Very nice cart David. I've eyed it in the NT catalog for awhile. Bannon makes some very nice normal sized 4 wheel carts as well. You brought up some great points to consider. Very informative!
Thanks, Case! I looked at the Bannon utility cart before I saw this one. I think that other cart could have worked, but it looked too bouncy. This cart is made for logging and so far it's doing a great job! Thanks for watching, my friend!
Beautiful scenery
Thank you, Dave! I can only take credit for helping shape it! I appreciate you watching, bud! :)
Awesome trailer. It will definitely help you work your land more efficiently. Not skidding your logs will keep them cleaner for cutting into firewood or milling.
I just put out a video on an important piece of equipment to maintain and work your property, you got it, a trailer.
Hey man! Yes I saw your video pop up in my subscribed list and I've got it cued up to watch later this week. I've been needing a trailer for this property for a LONG time. I've been making way too many trips from log piles to the log yard and this logging wagon is going to speed things up 3x. Thanks for watching, buddy! :)
Very nice trailer David! I can certainly see how it would be handy with as much woods as you have to maintain!
Hey thanks, Ethan! Yes sir, it's the perfect size for these trails and so far it's working really well. Thanks for watching, buddy!
Great video David! Keep them coming…
Hey thanks, Tim! The Big Tool Rack is amazing. I'm so happy that I got one for my Kubota. Adding the 8" drop in the receiver made this setup work really well, too! Thanks for watching, buddy :)
Very nice and cool looking cart David, it’s going to be very useful for your property 👍🏻. You could make an additional set of post but half the height when you have smaller loads 👍🏻. Have a great week David 🙋🏼♂️👍🏻🙂
Great idea Luc! I could probably get some spare bolsters from NT and cut them down. I may try that! Thanks for watching, buddy! Cheers!
That is a rather sweet looking little wagon David. my first thought was the tires might be an issue. The inside tire seems to always be the one that gives you grief.
Looks like you went all in on this one too. You got the wheel chocks and the whole 9 yards.
Good addition to your stuff David.
One of the things that I would do is to put tubes in the tires. I am no fan of tubeless tires. With them, it is never a question of it they will fail, but when.
Hey Gary! Thanks man. I've been using chocks since the army. I sure wouldn't want a trailer loaded with logs to get away! Good idea about the tubes! I appreciate you watching and sharing your insights, buddy! See you soon! :)
Looks like a good compact log hauler. I bet you could even pull it with an atv. 👍🏻👍🏻
Definitely! I've seen it pulled behind a small 2-seat UTV. I've thought about hooking it up to my Cub Cadet to see if it would pull it and a load. I wouldn't pull a load of logs with the Cub Cadet, but other items in the cart could be safe enough on the flatter part of the land. Thanks for watching! :)
Nice addition! Will definitely save you some time on those longer routes. Does your grapple fit in between the 2 end posts? If so, maybe just remove middle post for the first layer for efficiency?
Thank you! I have to check that out! I'm afraid the grapple is too wide but it might fit. Thanks for the idea! I appreciate you watching! Cheers
Wow that's really cool and interesting vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come. Wish you all the best and happy life always with your family my friend.
Thanks for visiting 👍
Great job David.. I immediately thought.. oh I hope you get the tongue out of the bushes to reconnect to your BTR. I also was thinking that you could probably leave the stanchions on, and come over the top with the grapple (with grapple rotated top jaw down) and allow center stanchion to pierce the tines, then lower the grapple and open jaws. Difficult to see if there is enough clearance behind (tractor side) of the SSQA for the center stanchion, if the logs in the grapple prevents doing it the other way. Might require some experimentation.
Backing up with two pivot points is tricky.. requiring a light touch with steering.. almost like an 18-wheeler with a set of doubles.. good luck 👍
Hey David! Yeah I'm going to experiment with using the stanchions in different configurations to see what the best approach it. Visibility of that part of the tractor is pretty good from the operator seat. I'm going to try your ideas and the ideas of a few other commenters. Even as is, it's a good setup so I'm really happy with this little wagon. It's the perfect size for the woods and the narrow trails over here! Thanks for watching, my friend. See you soon!!
Wonderful video. I think this will work well for you. Happy to be subscriber 954!
Hey folks! I'm happy you are, too! :) Thanks for watching. I'll see you on your next hike segment! - David
That is quite the trailer! Very impressive. Was thinking if you could lower (shorten) at least one of the bolsters on the loading side, that first row of logs may not roll back on you. And make loading them easier, or just get used to lifting the logs higher as you are :) awesome video my friend. If I were to get one I'd need a bigger shop! Haha
Hey Ross! Yes, that's a really good idea. I assume I can buy some additional bolsters from Northern Tool and cut them down for the first load. They go on and off so easily I don't think it would take too much time. I'm thinking I need a bigger shop too! LOL Thanks for watching, my friend! :)
How's she goin'? Nice trailer David!!! That should carry a good amount of logs eh. Having the posts come off like they do, it will be easy to load and unload. We had a big wagon at work for moving some of our big equipment. The trailer was probably 14 feet long and 8 feet wide and good for 20 000 pounds!! A lot of guys tried to back up with it and failed, but there was one guy, Ronnie was his name, and he could back that wagon up like you would not believe, so he was always driving the fork truck on moving days!!!. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Hey Mike! Thank you, sir :) For my property, it's the perfect size logging wagon. I don't have any logs much bigger than about 16-18" in diameter and most are less than 10" so I can load it up nice and full. Wow that's a huge trailer! LOL It does take some practice backing it up. I'm stubborn like that so I'm going to keep trying. :) Thanks for watching, my friend! Take care and Cheers!
That cart looks a lot bigger when you stand next to it , compared to web. Looks like it would haul a lot of cut rounds also with a small piece of plywood on sides. 😁
I thought the same thing! It doesn't look that big in the ad and then I built it and was like WOW, that's huge! LOL It's a good little trailer and not too expensive. The old trailer frames that could be built into a cart like this are going for more money than this one cost brand new. The older frames are better quality I'm sure, but this cart is going to pay for itself pretty quick. Thanks for watching, buddy :)
Hobby farmer stuff there! We use a harbor freight 4x8 dump trailer with 3/4 plywood deck, sides as needed and 2 HD tounge jacks. Over 15 years we have added electric dump, hf truck bed canvas crank out load dump thing, bigger axes (oem axle broke at 3400 pounds falling off a mountain in wyoming) and now has 33 inch wheels from a Silverado. I think we now have about $650 in it these days. The $1000 for this trailer is WAY OVER PRICED!!!.
I'm not a farmer. ;)
Maybe leave the outside two poles up and remove the center one so you can lift the logs over then lower your grapple that would fit in between the outer poles then release the logs so they don’t fall
Hey Jake! That's a really good idea! I have to see if the grapple will fit between the two poles. If it does, that should help speed things up and make loading it even easier. I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts, my friend!! Cheers :)
nice toy here I could use one
It's a good one! Pull the trigger, brother :)
Nice wagon David... Try to adapt something on the front of your tractor even something on the grapple where you can back wagging up with the front works great that's what lot of farmers do with hay wagons they have a hitch on the front of the tractors
Oh man that's a great idea! I've seen the clamp-on receivers for buckets quite a bit. I don't think there's a good place on the grapple to attach one, but that idea's good enough to try to figure it out. Thanks, BB!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors you're welcome looking forward to the video. Don't forget to plug me LOL
Sure will buddy! 😃
Good Morning Sir 🧐👌 That is a OUTSTANDING looking logging trailer and these large wheels will make it easier in humid ground condition 😉👌👍 On Airport 4/5 of our trailers, generators etc,, are like your nice trailer and it sure make you a better backing driver using them Sir 👍🧐👌 Great first field testing with flying colors Sir and like that you are using your yellow wheel chocs 😇👌👍 You love your new investment Sir 👍👌😇 Have a blessed Sunday and safe week Sir Cheers 🍻🙏😇
Hey Dave! The army taught me the use of the chock blocks! They're very important for safety, especially on a trailer without any kind of brakes. I appreciate your kind words as always, my friend! Thanks for watching, Dave! Cheers!
Backing up your log trailer is just like farm hay wagons....takes a little time to get the knack of it....That trailer looks to be built strong....Hitched up real easily....I like it...CHEERS
Hey Gator! Thanks for watching, man. I've backed a lot of trailers in my life including some really big/odd ones in the military. I'm going to keep at it and I'm sure backing will get a bit easier. Once my land is dry, I won't have to back up as much because all of my trails will be accessible. :) I'm looking forward to the summer, my friend!!
looks like u have a good combo going
It's turning out to be a really good system! Thanks for watching :)
Nice one David...I can envision lots of potential uses for that cart well beyond logs! I also forsee that front guard spending most of it's life in the garage!
Looks like the weather has finally broken up there! (Good thing too, my wife is up there (Seattle) this week!
Hey Chris! It's mostly sunny now, but we're still getting the off/on weirdness of spring. I agree - there are tons of uses for this wagon besides logs. It's an awesome flatbed trailer when you take off the bolsters. The front guard likely will stay in the shop most of the time! It does have it's uses, but not when logging and using grapple, though! Thanks for watching, bud! :)
That is an interesting trailer, I have never seen anything like that before. It seemed to work very well and I am sure you will get the hang of reversing it. It looked very easy to move by hand when it was empty
Hey Joseph! Yeah it's pretty easy to move around by hand when it's empty, but I don't want to fool around with it by hand on those hills when it's under load. Backing up is possible, just a bit more difficult than a standard single-pivot trailer. I'll get it! LOL Thanks for watching, mate! Cheers :)
I am watching reviews on this trailer. your review is a great one. It's been a year that you've had it, hope it is still going strong. BTW you have a new subscriber!
Hi Bruce! Thanks for subscribing. A year on and that trailer is doing everything and more. I don't regret the purchase at all. Thanks for watching! :)
Looks like a well built little trailer. I think it should do well for you. I like the fact you can remove the stakes off the side and stack the logs. Do they have shorter one that a person could use? Thinking shorter stakes may be useful in some situations. Looking forward to seeing how it works for you. Keep up the great work buddy. Take care.
Hey Kyle! Yeah a set of shorter poles may help out for that first layer. I'm going to check with Bannon to see if they sell them individually. Thanks for watching, buddy!
Great looking cart, I can see where backing it up would be a pain but looks like a great tool for the homestead
It sure is, Dana! Obviously it's made for homestead use with relatively small logs. But for me, it does the job I bought it for and it does it really well. Thanks for watching, bud!
I linked this video to orange tractor forum, in a skidding logs thread. If your not ok with this David I will take down my post.
Oh man, I'm totally ok with that buddy! I appreciate you sharing it!!
Now that is a cool logging wagon! Thanks for sharing with us. 👍👍
Hey Jim! You're welcome, buddy. Funny thing is that it's way bigger in real life than it looks in the ads. It's still small enough to fit through my woods with no issues. I appreciate you watching, buddy! :)
Would not be hard at all to add a lock out pin on the trailer so it won't pivot.
Yes, exactly. I was looking for a spot to drill for one last week. I think it would be easy enough to get one in. Thanks for watching, my friend! :)
nice tractor
Sure is! Thanks for watching, Harry! Cheers :)
Now you're a one man logging crew!!
Added to a long list of one-man things I am around here. LOL Thanks for watching, Logan! :)
Another great video, thanks for sharing! So it is now about 7 months later, what are your thoughts on the trailer after having some more time with it? Any issues? I also have a B2601, and I have been looking at this trailer to bring the fire wood up to the house in the winter months once I put the front snowblower on, because I will no longer have a front loader to move it with. Thanks again.
Hi Brian! I love that little trailer and I haven't had any issues at all. Saturday I loaded it up with 1600 pounds of cinder blocks and moved them down to the pond area. It traveled really well. Thanks for watching and have a great week!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors that’s great to hear thank you! The wheels are certainly turning in my head on different options that’s for sure. This trailer really seems like it would work well. Thanks again for your time.
You're very welcome, my friend. I was just thinking that I need to build a box of some kind so that I can move around more fine materials like gravel and dirt. When I do that, you'll see that in a video. Maybe sooner than later because I have to get some down to the pond to finish that new trail. Take care, buddy!
That was very cool, David! nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Kyle :)
@@PaleHorseOutdoors Saw your video posted on one of our Branson Tractors Facebook groups too. :)
Sweet! Thanks for letting me know :)
Nice trailer! That style is a pain to back up. I made one of our chicken coops on that style of trailer. It took a lot of practice to be able to back it. I still struggle from time to time. Nice addition!
Thanks Justin! I hope I don't have to back it up too much! I appreciate you watching! 😃
