I was thinking about using this trailer behind my mountain bike for deer hunting. Do you think it can handle heavy loads on rough gravel roads?

The maximum weight capacity is 185 lbs so I doubt it would meet your needs for deer hunting unless you are hunting very small deer. I don't think it would handle very well on gravel roads either.

I would say no, it is not. My reason being that it has very large, narrow tires which glide wonderfully over pavement, but would probably not fare very well on sharp edged stones or gravel. I would suggest a more rugged "mountain" style bike with the wider tires and possibly a longer travel suspension.

I cant say for sure, but I use mine for loading furniture into my trailer. I haven't had any trouble. I though the ad said it would handle up to 900 pounds

I bought this for my 8 yr old granddaughter. I have ridden it on pavement (185#) and it will do ok. Off-road it barely Will move with my weight. It does well under 150#.

Because of ite aluminum construction... it does not weigh much... and those tall wheels it traverses uneven ground quite easily. I never weighed mine... but I know it carries a lot of gear easily, as well as the biggest deer you can ever imagine. I can haul a day's worth of gear and a deer without any problem. Hope that helps you, Gary K.

No. We moved cross country with heavy trailers and it worked great. It will make some noise when you back but if you adjust it correctly there is no issue.

Quite well I think. Very solid construction. Only complaint is the kick-stand. It is not very sturdy -- it seems not to be designed by the same people who did the main trailer. Note that I have only done local trips -- about 250 miles.

My wife has used hers on gravel and in our yard. It will work in loose gravel but the harder packed it is the better. I guess it just depends on how rough the road is but I'll bet that if any walker will work, this one will.

I, wont take mine on the highway. Wont even plate it. I am not a qualified mechanic/trailer builder. I just use mine on the ranch, hauling tools and whatnot. Maybe if you are confident in your building skills it would be ok. To me it seems a bit small to pull down the road behind a pick up or car. Wheels are too small for me, also i dont think it has enough weight to keep it stable. For the road, and for safety, if it were me, i'd get something bigger. Just one mans opinion.

It is very solid. Unfortunately, I never go off-road so I have no idea whether it can withstand jostling.

I have been using mine on a dump trailer. Usually heavily loaded. I haven't noticed any wear on the tires yet. I can't say what type of mileage you might get, but I am happy with them and would recommend.

Absolutely. Works great for off road trails too. My little one is a 35lb 3 year old.

I would not want to go far on gravel if it was laid down - the big tires can handle gravel no problem (like if you have it in the upright position) but if it is laying down, the wheels closer to the handle are smaller and don't navigate gravel as well.

The trailer is great quality and the wheels and bearings are more than adequate for highway travel. I have had no problems with my trailer.

If you intend to push it it does well on crushed gravel, packed dirt, even rock and mowed trails. With a 75 lb partially paralyzed dog in it uneven rocky trails, sand, mud and high grass meant I was pretty much guaranteed to get stuck at some point and have to unload the dog and help him walk until we got to better trail conditions.

It's very stable in my garage. I can put my XL long haul trucker with panniers and my sons mtn bike or bmx. Disks on the mtn bike hit but it still holds it fine. You will probably still have to strap it all down though for any hard stops.

Hay Gary . . . It is not real heavy but I have put this cart to the test this year . . . The metal rims are tough . . . Get the balance right and this cart will wheal right behind you . . . My crew ad I have pulled 5 deer and 2i hogs and most of it was on this cart some multiple hauls behind the 4 wheeler. I will be getting another one as a back up. Not real big not real small . . . Hope this helps.
