You can buy cheappie little quad trailers for £100-£150, they usually come flat packed

But you can pull any trailer you want with a quad, plenty of old cheap trailers 3'-4', most stuff is metal framed with wooden sides

Thats exactly what I'm using now but it has a number of drawbacks. I would like flotation tyres, my current trailer doesnt tip so compost and the like ends up getting double dug. Most importantly I'm looking for reasons to get welding. If I can make a good trailer and save a few hundred quid all the better.

Looks tip able to me. Just un hitch & lift the draw bar. Should get 45 deg to get most of it out so its light enough to lift it higher to completly empty it.

Can you not get some old quad wheels with the same PCD as the hub on your trailer

I did think about it. The axle is of some sort of vehicle, dont know what but its still got the differential and the flange for the propshaft. Its got a single leaf sping and dampers. Its all a bit heavy.
