    Yes ..Get the tongue,platform and tires built where the balance of the whole thing. So a small person "Lady" can strap it down and tild the trailer easily. If I knew Spyder would tow 500# the I have that. I just dont want to replace belts or clutches,trans.

    Does the chair have a central lift point?

    I know when backing up the RT622 trailer you can get the trailer 90° to the Spyder with ease... just thinking out loud cause I do fabrication and machining work for a living. I'm thinking a dedicated trailer for the chair... maybe where the chair drives off the side right up to the Spyder???

    Here is an idea: Telephone BRP and ask for some guidance. BRP is a pretty good company and may be willing to help out.

    I just did a search for a heavy duty chair and the weight only came up at 300 lbs. What make and model chair do you use?
