More than I expected,

"For starters, this thing is HUGE. Much bigger than I had anticipated. I haven't tried yet but I could probably fit a third of a cord of wood in it easy. That's a good thing. Actually much more room in the bed than I'll ever need. Assembly took me a half hour tops. Very easy to put together. They thought this out when they designed it. Also, ground clearance is much better than the competing models. That is important for me since this is going to be used on trails and in the woods. Large wheels are a real plus, too. Solidly built unit.
This is a real workhorse of a cart and it only weighs about 125 pounds so it increases your towing capacity. No complaints yet and we have put it through the paces. Highly recommended. Outperforms much more expensive models I have looked at. Couldn't be happier."

Polar ATV Trailer - 1500LB #8233,

"First, the Customer Service team at Northern did a great job of helping me sort out mistakes with the shipping company. Service is huge because of where I live (Thanks!). The trailer is everything advertised and more. I have steep hills so the stability and tracking are excellent even with a load. The ability to broadcast the load is a back-saver. The directions and assembly are very straight forward (excellent design). I was initially concerned about the strength of the trailer, but after literally throwing everything at it, I'm a believer. If you have a large property, this is a "must-have"!"

Polar 1500 LB ATV Trailer,

By Rod330 from Atlanta, GA
"I purchased one of these units about 4 or 5 years ago. Assembly was somewhat difficult because the instructions and the assembly hardware did not match up. I think it was the result of a model change but it was frustrating to have to go to the hardware store to buy the correct nuts, washers and bolts. Once it was together, it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago a nasty storm caused a monster tree limb to crash into the trailer and crack open the tub. ARGH ! So, I ordered a new one from Northern. This time, the assembly was a breeze and took less than 30 minutes. I noticed several nice design improvements in the new version as well. The tub does not feel as thick and sturdy of the old version but it should hold up fine. I'd recommend this trailer to others."

Does Everything but Dump,
July 20, 2009
"I have had my trailer for 6 months and found the high rating generally deserved. The only drawback is the inability to dump loads cleanly. I haul a lot of sawdust for horse bedding. Since the back end is so low, the sawdust does not flow out, rather it must be shoveled out. Other than that, this is a nice implement."

"I really like this little trailer. It pulls great and hauls alot of weight. I've loaded it up with both wood and manure and haven't overloaded it yet. The dump feature is great, it could be easier to latch after dumping. Sometimes the latch doesn't catch and it doesn't operate easily with one hand."
