MrGutz Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I want to buy a "locally" built trailer, so the contenders are: Deck over, enclosed, 4plc, 22-ish long. -Triton, Seem over priced and living on a name made years ago. -Mission by Alcom (Have heard Good Things) -SnoPro by Alcom (Same as Mission??) -Blizzard, Appear nice and easy to deal with. -ProLine, Leaning toward these guys. Any info would be great! Thanks GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im4snow Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I ordered a ProLine (inline 2 place). My reasoning for buying from ProLine was: 1) Favorable feedback heard from other's about ProLine 2) Also based on feedback from other's, the larger companies, especially today seem to be giving up some quality in the name of mass production/economies of scale.....as you eluded to with Triton above (I have the same opinion of Triton as you noted above). 3) As a family owned and operated business, PL appears to bring a certain level of passion/commitment to their products that sometimes is lacking in bigger companies....and hopefully that is reflected in the longer-term quality of the product. For better or worse, that was my reasoning. I ordered mine based off their website, and I'll probably have it delivered.....so sight unseen and expect it mid-Nov. Good luck.

lindasledgirl Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 My trailer was bought on the last day of the Novi Michigan snowmobile show. It was a great deal. That show is this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are constructed well. Is yours coming from va or nh . looking at a 3 place inline pick up in va would be convenient since its on my way to the cabin. If I may what was the o.t.d cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) 2014 Triton 11' Clam $2800 out the door. New last fall. That's what I paid new, I don't think Tritons are expensive at all. Edited November 3, 2014 by Jackstraw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 My preference is OP trailers. They come in two, three, or four place models. They can have one or two axles as well as varing heights and colors. These trailers are made by all the major manufacturers and sold at many dealers close to you. The prices are always very reasonable, usually $100 / trip. Plus no issue with summer storage or taking room in the driveway in the winter. OP (other peoples) trailers....the choice of may a shrewd snowmobiler!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is yours coming from va or nh . looking at a 3 place inline pick up in va would be convenient since its on my way to the cabin. If I may what was the o.t.d cost Mine's coming from NH. They utilize someone from NH for deliveries and net/net, especially given my near-term schedule, it's better for me to have it delivered. Actually I'm meeting him near Scranton, PA to save him some driving and it's only 2 hours (4 round trip) for me. Delivery to your cabin may be simpler for you??? Their prices are listed on their website. I added elec brakes to the single axle and aluminum wheels (I like the bling). Of course I have to pay PA sales tax once I register it here. http://www.nhtrailers.com/ Edit: I ordered mine in early Oct and the lead time was ~6 weeks. Not sure what the current lead time would be. I got the IS 716. Edited November 3, 2014 by im4snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipeman Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I just bought a new R&R 718PSD 3 place in line, pleased with it but we'll see after winter of towing it. Before it I had a Blizzard for 9 years no issues and a Worthington clam shell before that it also was a good trailer. If you like R&R they have a driver that will deliver, that's what I did.

timbo Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 The six sled, V-nose Triton we used to pull with the Snowcoach was an excellent trailer and held up very well. They make a good unit, Now I have two Worthingtons (made in Williamsport, PA); a two sled in-line V-nose, and a 4 sled full width V-nose. The 4 sled Worthington is 12 years old, has made at least 40 trips to Quebec from PA, and is still going strong. Hard to beat a Worthington. PS: They're all aluminum. Price is competitive. timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
