infernobuster Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Can confirm 2 137"s will fit in a 6x12. Tight but possible .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 May have some peoples wheels spinning now..... With one sled reversed in, how is that for towing from a weight distribution - I guess it will depend on where the axle is positioned on the trailer?

irREVerent Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 OK, I gotta ask...with 2 sleds in a 6 X 12 trailer, positioned as shown in the pic Zertrider posted above, how on earth is it possible to tie them down properly to keep them from bouncing around while on the road, and likely damaging each other and/or the sides of the trailer? Also, Stoney raises a good point about weight distribution...I would be concerned there's not enough tongue weight to be safe on the road.

Also, Stoney raises a good point about weight distribution...I would be concerned there's not enough tongue weight to be safe on the road. Other than the weight distribution thing, with 6 feet width I think you would be okay, but tight knowing most sleds are 4 feet wide at front and the rear is less than 2 feet, but gets wider as you move from rear of sled to front of sled. My 137" sled is just over 10 feet from ski tip to snow flap. I would for sure want a pair of tie down tracks/grooves up each side to secure front with superclamps and the rear with a strap or something. Backing in the second sled up the ramp into position beside the other sled might be a bit tricky - you usually have to approach the ramp with a bit of speed/momentum, making doing that in reverse a bit hard, or do it the old fashion way, muscle her in, but we are not getting any younger.....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're likely to be touching each other and the trailer walls in several spots, which is sure to create some "rash" in those spots from moving up and down over bumps on the road...to say nothing of what happens in a panic braking situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 Not looking for a setup where I have to grunt machines around to make them fit, too old for that LOL.

Also, Stoney raises a good point about weight distribution...I would be concerned there's not enough tongue weight to be safe on the road. Skis touch walls before any part of the sled. So I put in the sleds, and mounted a couple of floor anchors where they were convenient. Pull front ends slightly towards the walls, and straight down with the rear. Have towed for 6hrs with no contact between sleds. And axle setback is enough to keep proper weight on the tongue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that long for parking . Well made. Only problem I have with low height trailers is everyone once in a awhile you forget they are low and crack your skull off the roof walking in. This usually happens in the summer when you have had a few too many and you want to start up the 2 stroke at midnight just to listen to it and smell some exhaust....................well maybe thats just me. Mine is low. Walking in is pain. Also it will not hold a sxs. You lose a lot of utility. I regret not getting a taller one. Now, if you will only ever use it for sleds it is great, but the op stated long term ownership, and life brings changes, so I would suggest a 16 footer that is tall.

I own a TC167 that I use exclusively for sleds. I carry my machines in it over the winter AND use it for sled storage in the summer. Its probably not the trailer I would own if I needed to use it year round to carry ATVs, bikes in the summer and sleds in the winter. If I needed a year round use trailer I would probably go to a more traditional cargo type trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 For those that own them.how are the Bullitt trailers holding up over time? Any issues with them? Do you wish you had the extra 8" or whatever it is of additional head room that the TC167 has? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I bought a 7x23 Legend trailer 11 years ago now. Its been a good unit. Only issue is the man door rotted out. It was a factory defect but I never had them fix it because I bought it in Michigan. I used to have a 6x12 as well. It was a cheap POS that I bought for work use. I used it a lot, had the scars on my head to prove it. So when it fell apart after 5 years, I bought a 7x12 to replace it. The new trailer is 6'-6" tall. My only negative with my 7x23 is the 6' height. Every helmet I own has scratches from the trailer doorway. And I've learned to wear my helmet when loading or unloading the sleds. If I ever buy a new sled trailer, it will be 6'-6". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Height gives you room to put a fold up bench or some racks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sksman Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I currently have a 7’ x 14’ with 5’ vee so 19’ long total Tandem axle is a little harder pull But the extra room in the trailer is nice when travelling. Lots of space for two sleds and any extra crap you want to bring. Fuel cans, spare tires, tools, portable heater And room to preform some repairs and as others have said the added headroom is a real bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
