You can load your Yerfs sideways and still stay under the 8.5' maximum width. With a 6' wide deck you can either let the wheels hang over the edge or bolt on 8' planks to keep the frames off the trailer. Team Farm was able to take a Joyner 650SS, Honda CFR150, Carter GTR250 and Carter GSR150 on a 20'x8' trailer by loading the the two Carters sideways.


That's a long way to go with a foot of buggy hanging off each end.

I was thinking of overlapping the two Dogs and squeezing on RMB's buggy. That I think I could do with no problem. They stand up pretty good.

You will get some wind resistance from the sides, but you will also get resistance from above if the stacked buggies are above your roof line. If the floor pans start catching air, you will be surprised how much force it will apply to your tie downs and how much resistance you feel at speed. I also think it will trailer better with the weight kept low.

I was going to stack them with their backs UP so they'd act like wing given me more down force so I can take the PA turnpike at faster speeds. Especially out of turn 3 into the tri-oval.

Yea, that down force on the trailer will work like sliding weight at the tractor pulls. The more speed you push on it, the heavier your trailer will feel. Nothing like getting the mileage of one-ton while driving a quarter-ton?

If you were to load the karts inverted as the wind catches the wheels and spins them this would create a vortec and aid in fuel millege. TOM

You have been watching too many late night infomercials. Do you have the Tornado Intake and magnets zip-tied on your fuel line?

I am expanding my store in the next month so along with fuel cost it is just not doable for me.

It was time I leveled the playing field and no longer let you have that edge. I know others also want to get 100 mpg at 100 mph in their buggies.

Nice going pal now I just hope that Al Gore don't read this cause he will destroy my character so he could lay claim to my results. TOM
