Polar Trailer 8233 HD 1500 – Heavy-Duty ATV/UTV Utility Trailer, 22 Cu. Ft, 1500 lb Capacity for Ice Fishing, Firewood & Off-Road Hauling

Current review. May add an update later. See pics. It was great dealing with the shipping company. They called and set a day and time. Great service delivered on a pallet in front of my garage as requested. Only issue is the box was trashed on one side BUT no damage and no parts missing.Easy to assemble the cart. Make sure you grease what they tell you to and use a grease gun on the nipple of the transaxle. Keep the front wheel off to do that.I bought the cage and hitch separately. The cage was actually a little more challenging to assemble and attach to the cart. Should’ve had another person for that but I made it work. The trick is to keep all the cart bolts loose until the cage is on. Just tighten the main frame stuff but leave the cart body bolts loose. Set the cage on the body for measurements as instructed, and drill the holes as explained, THEN tighten the body to the cart. If you don’t, it will be hard to get your arm around the cage to hold the body bolts to tighten. Make sure the body is locked in to the frame dump release before you tighten so it stays straight. Then, put the cage back on and tighten that.Took it for a test drive in my woods over some tough wooded terrain. Worked great, but it was empty, so we’ll see what happens with a load. I’ve read a few reviews on the wheels flipping upside down with a load on going over logs, so we’ll see.It is difficult to maneuver on its own unattached because of the four wheels. The wheels scrape on the grass, so pick your spot. Harder to turn to put it in the garage, but that’s just normal for this cart.No issues with the attached hitch for me. Fits fine on my ball hitch to the atv.It’s huge and I’m looking forward in seeing what it does. As it is, looks great and seems to be very sturdy.Put it on your saved list and wait for the price to drop. I got it for about $200 less checking it for about a week.UPDATE: June 23It’s great! Been hauling huge loads of wood. No issues. Updated pics.

This is an awesome trailer. I put the trailer together in 45 minutes. Of course, it was packed really well and it took a half hour to unpack and break down the cardboard before assembling the trailer. As you can see, I also purchased the side extensions. They are very sturdy and I believe will hold up well. This is the first load on the trailer, almost a quarter of a cord. I am 5'9" and was concerned that I may not be able to reach the wood in the bottom, but that was not an issue. I was able to reach it easily. I did not want to dump the wood, as it is easier picking it up out of the trailer than bending to the ground. The only thing I did was to drill dome drainage holes in the bottom, as this will be stored outside and I do not want it collecting rain water. I highly recommend this trailer if you need something that can haul a big load!

Delivered quickly, package in great shape. Easy to put together. Tows nicely. I’m impressed

Bought this 5 years ago and I still love it. It works great and is super sturdy. I also bought the fence/gate that fits on top. I use it for hauling wood. I can fill this bad boy up over the top with huge pieces of oak and it handles all of it no problem. It is very, very light and easy to move around by hand. The large tires allow me to pull it deep into the woods and drive over smaller fallen trees and rocks, etc. The only negative thing I’d say is that it doesn’t really “dump.” I mean, it tilts back very easily but not everything comes dumping out of it. You need to assist with the dump to get everything out. Not a huge deal at all but don’t be surprised when you go to dump your first load of wood, and you have to pull have it out by hand. Bottom line is that if this ever got destroyed by a tornado or stolen, I’d buy this exact model again. Very pleased.

The product takes some elbow grease to assemble. It isn't the lightest thing to move around. Once assembled its like pulling out your favorite hotwheel when playing in the sandbox. Good product! Sturdily built. I purchased the 1500 Tandem and I came back to buy the rack/railing kit that goes with it. Assembly had some hiccups (they do recommend 2 people) and I needed to interact with customer service to get it completed, but customer services was friendly and responsive and they seem to really care about their reputation. I feel comfortable purchasing from them. Even nicer if they work out a deal with Amazon for Amazon to deliver (seems like they may have done so! Delivery was an additional cost when I bought it, but its showing that it's free delivery for prime members now! Awesome!!)Someone said it doesn't dump easily -- and I can agree.. it doesn't have a lift kit that dumps for you.. and it doesn't load itself. It would be nice if it did all this for you, but you're really only buying a cart. My old cart didn't dump any easier than this one does. It does have a hinge and you can lift the tub and tilt it, but depending on what you're carrying, you will likely still need to push some of the mulch/dirt/stuff out of the back. A garden rake (flat side down) works, a square shovel works better:! I haven't tried a snow shovel, yet, but i could imagine that working fantastic! It certainly helps do what I bought it to do, and that is ... to move things I put into it . . . my JD X540 has no problem pulling this thing around fully loaded with woodchips... even on my sloped property.To me - it was a worthwhile purchase. All the best!

Robust, sturdy and well made. Great to see an American product made so well. Assembley by one about 1-2 hours. All parts included and accounted for. Don't buy a cheaper one, buy this one. You will not be disappointed.

Weld on hitch swivel was spot welded but not welded. Had to finish welding it. Was a big gash in axle tube 1-1/2” long.had to belt sanded and welded up area. Painted both areas. Not sure how long paint will last. Was in a bind or it would have been sent back!
