Hey guys,

First post here, though I have been reading the forum for some time. I am trying to figure out what size trailer I need to carry a new Polaris Ranger. The problem is that I need to get both at the same time, so I can't buy the Ranger first and then measure the Ranger against any new trailer.

I need a trailer (because it will serve double-duty) which has a raised barrier around front and both sides. This means that when I drive the Ranger onto the trailer, the front end of the Ranger will "bump" up against the front barrier. Now the question--how long does the trailer have to be to just barely get the rear wheels of the Ranger on to the trailer if the front end of the Ranger is nestled against the front barrier? Granted the back end of the Ranger may hang out a bit, but what is the absolute smallest length trailer I could get away with? In other words, I guess I am asking for the measurement from the very front of the Ranger to the rear of the rear wheels...or probably some of you have such a trailer and know exactly how long the minimum trailer length would be. Thanks for any counsel! And any other advice you may have for a guy who hardly has a clue about what this is all going to involve!

      I heard there's several off road festivals out that way. One or two post apocalyptic, the rest just rev and run. Anyone know a good one that offers camping? Any advice for out of state people like hauling, legality, and where to stay?
      Ideally me and the missus would be down for camping out and setting up shop somewhere nearby. That way we can just wake up, load up, and ride.

      Polaris RZR 800 Rear Differential Pinion Nut Issue
      By Sidewinder
      All mid 2008 through 2014 Polaris RZR 800 series have a big problem with the rear differential pinion nut backing off, allowing the pinion gear to shoot into the rear differential, destroying the rear differential. This has happened with machines with as little as less than 100 miles on them! Reports indicate that there are no problems, nor warnings, until the rear differential grenades, locking the rear axles solid! This requires the machine to be lifted onto a trailer, to be transported for rear differential replacement, as it destroys the case. After failure, rear differential replacement can be quite expensive: labor alone can run from $800-$1200 and a new OEM Spicer rear diff, if you can find one, can run from $1700-$2500! So, if you own any Polaris RZR 800 series between the years of 2008-2014, I recommend that you do this repair before further use of your machine. personally, I have grounded my machine until it can be done. Please check the online post for your own awareness.

      New owner Massimo MSU500
      By Eman85
      I just purchased a Massimo MSU500 and no manual came with it so I have some questions. looking for part #'s and availability of basics like spark plug air and fuel filter. What is the valve adjustment specifications? 
        Is there a fuel drain? It's been sitting, low mileage but I want to drain out the old fuel and put fresh.

      2019 Cub Cadet Challenger 400, trailer to transport the Challenger, and new, never used winch for sale
      By RBonds007
      I bought this SxS brand new.  A couple of years after I bought it, I became disabled.  Thus it has only 47 miles and around 16 hours of use.  I have no need to keep the SxS.  I am in Foley, Alabama.  It is very hard for me to get in out of the Challenger.  I would like to sell the set, 2019 Challenger 400, trailer and uninstalled winch (this was bought brand new as well, someone was supposed to help this newbie install and we never got around to doing this). I want  $6500 for the whole set OBO (Serious offers only).
