Any idea what the engine is patterned after? I wonder if it's like a Kawasaki Mule.

Have you considered spraying bedliner in the box? I spotted the box mat, but it's the sides I'm thinking about.

I have the Ranch Pony 2013. The first thing I did after putting it together was spray that box with Rust-Oleum Truck Bed spray it worked great.

My guess is that the engine is a yamaha clone. This looks alot like a rhino. From what I can see it looks like decent quality.

Sure beats reading.

Those cooler lines are really nicely routed.

In that last photograph it appears there is a thermostat switch which turns on the radiator fans.

Here is the next fork in the road in my journey to the poorhouse. BMS specs the Pony as being 58 inches wide wheel to wheel. I had a 5 (60 inches) x 10 trailer but the rear wheels are actually 62". So I am now the proud ouwner of a 6'2" x 12 foot trailer.

I contacted 232 Motorsports today, a company who sells something similar to the Pony but by a different manufacturer about getting a silencer for the exhaust (this thing is loud when riding). The representative I talked to was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the Pony. He told me it had a Suzuki clone engine and that the exhaust was probably more of a Yamaha clone. He recommended a silencer made by silent rider. So now I'm trying to find info out about this silencer.

At this point I have heard nothing from the place where I purchased this and the Enduro about any rebate for having to rent a trailer and pick them up. I called the today but they were very busy and I couldn't talk to anybody who deals with my issues. I filled out a form 3 days ago requesting the missing bumper cover and splash shield and have not heard back from that as well. I also ordered a helmet from them and they sent the wrong one and supposed to be sending the right one, I'll update this when I find out more, I'm gonna email them.

Nice trailer. You may need to contact your credit card company if you don't hear back soon.

I agree with Allen on both points.

BMS has a couple of youtube videos on how to assemble the pony. If you watch it with a pen and paper and take notes it pretty easy. They even tell you what size bolts go where. I took notes before I assembled in order of video and wrote down bolt sizes, made it easy

thanks Andy - I have seen the vids and took notes as well
hear is the vids for others

You'll be able to haul all of your China toys, between your truck and trailer.

Thanks everybody for the compliments on the trailer, I really didn't want to buy it, I thought I could make due with the old one for a while. When I got home from work tonight, there was a package containing the promised helmet on the porch.
