I'm looking for a 6'-6''x 12' double bi-fold gate utility trailer. What's a good place to get a new one at a good price? Anybody to stay away from?

I read some bad things on the Sportsman website about pro-ride trailers....

I saw that too- think it's BS that a mad customer can basically make an ad bashing them- there's no way for them to defend themselves. Customer just may be a problem child. I think it's poor form that they don't police those classifieds better.

Houma/Thibodaux area but willing to travel few miles for a good deal. I have a deer lease near Greensburg LA.

I have a Pro Ride trailer. It's been a year now and has about 5k miles on it. No problems whatsoever. Take it fwiw.

What was the guy saying bad about them?

I heard he was pricey, might go check him out tomorrow though since he's the closest.

Not all that close but I have 6 1/2' x 16' tandom axle (3500lb) from LeBlanc's trailers in Rayne. Very happy with it. Have hauled tractors and 4wheelers (not all at the same time) back and forth to South Texas for about 4 yrs now.

If everyone is so high, just put it together yourself. Materials are fixed, the variable is labor cost. If you don't value your own time, it's always cheaper to do it yourself.

Brandon's trailors in Amite, La. We have one that is 6'6" x 16' dual axle. Best riding trailor i have ever pulled and the price was right. You can get what ever gates you want on it.

Mike Gerald's in BR. Get a Top Hat. I pull trailers daily for work and Top Hat is the strongest by far

I talked to salesman at Mike's today and he talked me out of getting a side gate. He said the newer 4 wheelers are getting longer and longer and you can't close the gate unless you get a 7' wide trailer or better.
