Trailer for wood,
July 22, 2009
By RxSully
from Caroga Lake, NY
"I purchased this trailer for use behind a compact tractor. I use it primarily for transporting wood out of a 20 acre lot located in the southern Adirondack Park in northern NY. It a hilly territory with rocks,stumps & wet spots located in the trails. This trailer with its dual wheels is extremely stable. It also minimized damage to wet trails because of weight distribution & I pile the wood in it to the max. I would also recommend the side extensions. It adds valuable cubic feet to the load. The only problem issue I have found-I would not use the dump & move the trailer to unload its contents. There is a lip on the trailer which digs up the ground & does not slide smoothly. The lip is necessary for adding strength to the plastic bed. I have found the bed to be bullet proof so far. This trailer, overall, has exceeded my expectations. It is an investment, so I hope it is durable enough to last a good many years."

Excellent ATV Trailer,
March 21, 2009
By Treefeller
from Wilton, CT
"This trailer is living up to its expectations. I purchased it primarily to help haul logs and landscape materials. The tandem wheel setup works very well in the woods and seems to be able to go over just about anything that my ATV can. The tub of the trailer shows no sign of damage after some very heavy use. Another thing I will mention is that the directions included for assembly were very easy to follow. This trailer has definitely been a huge asset to owning an ATV (lots of chores are now a whole lot easier)."

work horse,
October 2, 2008
By Noter
from Indianola, IA
"I've had this trailer for a couple of years now and I am very happy with it's performance and durability. I heap it full with cut firewood and haul it over rough terrain back to the homestead and it does a good job. I also bolted some tie down loops in tht bottom so I can secure a 30 gal water barrel that I use for remote watering. When dumping I leave it connected to the 4 wheeler and literaly stand the thing up on it's back edge with the wheels completely off the ground and that works well to for a good clean out. I use this trailer a lot and I don't think it will ever wear out but if it does I'll definately buy another one."

Quality & Usage unsurpassed,
August 11, 2008
By Barryn2353
from Weathersfield, VT
"The Polar Trailer Heavy-Duty Tandem Axle Trailer is amasing. It does just what the subscription says and more. I couldn't believe the difference between a single axel cart and a tandem axel cart. Tandem Axel is far superior. I live on three acres of land that we are still clearing. The land is hilly, bumpy, and rough in some sections. But you wouldn't know this when using this product. We use it for firewood hauling and everything else. I wish my neighbor would buy her own so she wouldn't keep borowing mine (just kidding). Easy to assemble and extremely reliable. Don't waste your money on something inferior. Get the right thing the 1st time. I love this cart. Thank You Northern Tool for selling this item."

Great product,
January 16, 2008
By tsf45
from Texas
"I have used this trailer for over three years now and it has handled everything I have thrown at it. I have hauled everything from brush to logs to rocks to my wife and grandchild. The latch has never failed and it rides really smooth with the tandem axle. I wish they made one with a little larger weight capacity, I would buy it in a second."

Polar Cart,
July 27, 2007
By A1Fabricator
from California
"As far as carts go, this brand is at the upper end of cart quality. The cart is easy to use, handle well loaded or empty. Thanks to Northern and their pricing these cart are any excellent value verses quality. Easy to assemble, no special tools required, clear assembly instruction provided. I highly recommend these great carts."

Polar Sport HD1500 Tandam,
July 10, 2007
By Qball
from Loretto,MN.
"I have used many different types of trailers in this class before but none of them compare to the structural integrity of this trailer. The heavy duty tub combined with the rugged steel frame has made this product a work horse for me. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a long term working investment."

Enthusiasm turns to disappointment.,
December 18, 2006
By CatskillBuilder
from Accord, NY
"I have always found the products from Northern Tools to be chosen for their quality and tradesman level of durability. I have to say that my Polar Sport Tandem Axle Trailer Model# 2071 does not meet the same level of expectation. After a few short months the deficiencies of the products designs became evident, and shortly there after the trailer became useless. The worse offense was the mechanism that locks to dump trailer to the frame during transport and loading, overtime, the mechanism’s ability to properly secure and maintain the dump trailer in the horizontal position deteriorates until it no longer works at all. As the mechanism began to fail, I was unable to observe any relevant wear and tear that had altered the mechanisms operation and alignment to the dump trailer and frame. That said, I was only able to conclude that the latching mechanism’s design was based on a very narrow standard of alignment that the products actual use would far exceed, thus rendering the trailer useless and unable to meet the claims stated for capacity. If your looking to do real work that requires solid performance from a dump trailer, this isn’t the one for you. Lightweight yard work, requiring the moving of plants and bags of soil, maybe, but anything in the upper limits of the trailers capacity, and it is sure fail. I do not recommend this trailer for professional use."
