How to Load an Arctic Cat Prowler, Honda Fourtrax and Timberwolf on a Karavan Snowmobile Trailer
Question:
I have a 18 foot Karavan snowmobile trailer. I put a arctic cat prowler that weighs 1165 lbs facing the front of the trailer. The prowler is about 7 feet long. The back of the Prowlers tires are about a foot in front of the double axles on trailer . On the back of the trailer behind the double axels I have a 300 Honda fourtax and a 250 timberwolf facing the front of trailer side by side . Their combined weight is 925 lbs. My question is should the prowler be loaded in the front like I have it or should it be loaded in back where the Honda and timberwolf are located?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You are pretty well balanced but given that the axles are the fulcrum (if you think of the trailer as a teeter totter) you have more weight on the long side. If you swap the positions of the Arctic Cat and the Honda/Timberwolf it would be a better balance. It would also reduce the tongue weight some.
