When the safety chain attach point on the trailer is one single point, crossing the safety chains makes little diffeence. The chain make a "V". If you can move the attach points about 1ft back from the hitch, then crossing them will make a difference (takes a longer chain). The chains make an "X".
Great Safety Instruction for Carrying these Polaris General! Great Vehicle! Great Safety Instructor! Dirty Hands are proof of honest Money. (Wisdom of a Mechanic) .
When that vehicle on the trailer bounces your straps are going to come loose I always go through the rim at around 10:00 and 2:00 you're on a bumpy road that will bounce loose
I personally would of backed the rzr on looks to me that the weight of your engine is behind the axle, which could cause your trailer to fishtail and possibly flip. Lots of info out there on weight distribution.
Ok first of all you dont have to put a full suit on just to put it on the trailer and use 4wd and low gear its not that hard for the machine to go up a ramp
You don't attach to bumpers, it's an attachment using bolts and too high up compressing suspenssion. Also, why can't you use the A-arm? Ideally tie tires down. If you can do that you tie to A-arm as close as possible to the tire.
When strapping you only get the capacity of 2 straps at any time because when you are pulling against a strap the straps on the other side do nothing so 20000 lbs straps only give 10000 lbs in any direction
Strapping to any part of the car that is suspended is a Big No-No. This will cause your car to bounce during transit, and eventually break a strap. You need to strap the tires down to the trailer using Bonnets, Ring Straps, etc... Good job Polaris, lol.
You should always use wheel bonnets or ratchets that go over the tires whenever possible
Very thorough, excellent beginners video. Happy Trails!

Great job! Appreciate the detailed explanation
Trailering is just fun to do
Step 9, verify all lights work on the trailer, thanks.
Great video guys, what size is your trailer?
80" wide and 14' long
What size trailer would you recommend for a XP 1000 Trails and Rock?
12’ at least

I would also add to be sure to achieve proper (10-15%) tongue weight when positioning the unit onto the trailer.
What size trailer is that?
You are super pedagogical! 😁
Get my Polaris sportsman 570 hunter in....... 3 days! 😂
Now its just a matter of how to break it in, not to break it. 😏
How much does the Polaris trailer cost
i was told that for a 4 seater sxs you need to run 2 axel trailer? single axel is good only for 2 seater? i have a carson steel trailer 6.5x12.
Not true. Dual axle may pull better but single is fine. Just get a nice single axle.
Also depends on what you are towing with. For instance a dual axle is a lot of trailer for a small-mid suv.
You put all of your riding gear on.....helmet and all to drive onto your trailer!?! Wow .......

Just to let you know one thing I do when strapping a trailer down.
I cross my ratchet straps just like I do for my safety chains.
So if 1 breaks it pulls the vehicle sideways. Smart
@@davidschlarp1606 why are you using junk tie downs. I always inspect my work in 10 miles and half way to my destination. That's SMART
Good basic information but wish this guy would talk like an adult and quit acting so goofy
I agree...
Don't ever tie down to any moving part.. just get wheel buckets ... don't compress suspension... ever......
This is so cringe! So many wrong things to do....
😮

Clean your lens bruh
Try Cargo Buckles and shorten poor Eric's videography to a 3-minute video.

What? I’ve never heard of this anywhere.
Could you dramatize it a little bit more ?
You guys really are amateurs. Far better info out there, people.

This is so embarrassing
to much nonsense talk you should get to the point
This was incredibly painful to watch, so much wrong.
