How would you load these 2 atvs on my utility trailer?

So went from having a kodiak 450 for me and a quadrunner 250 for the wife. Both fit on my 6×10 utility trailer with hers sideways on front. Rode great that way. But now we have both upgraded quads.

She has an 09 Arctic Cat mudpro 700 and I have my 15 xmr800. So I sold my 6×10 trailer with the kodiak. And went and got a 7 ft x 16ft tandem axle utlity trailer. With 3500 lb axles.

We loaded them up today just to check the fit. Her mudpro is 7 ft 3in long and side by side with my xmr they look the same but my xmr looks almost a fokt longer on the trailer. I was also thinking my xmr was about 600 lbs and hers was 550lbs. But after loading them up with mine up front and hers over the trailer axles. It looked tongue heavy. I was like wth? And my helper bags have 18 psi in them on the truck. So research showed me the xmr is about 960 pounds wet (I was blown away by this) and the mud pro might be 840 lbs wet (shocked by this as well). Trailer is 1500 lbs.

I feel dumb asking cause I drive a truck for a living but I’m not sure if I should put the xmr on the trailer axles and the mud pro on the tongue? Or load it like the pic?

Staining/treating a trailer deck.

Hey all. Newbie to this forum. I stained/treated my triton ATV 128 trailer today with 2 coats of Olympic Max stain/sealant wood protector. It came out looking great…for now. Just wondering how it will hold up over time. Stain color was solid ebony. Has anyone ever done this before? If so how did it wear over time? Will post pics when I can figure out how. Lol. Thnx in advance.

2 steps forward 1 step back…how to replace this piece?

Recently did a boot swap on the old 700 Grizz and found a boogered up thread on the top knuckle ball joint.

Can I just order the part and replace this piece myself or does this have to be done by a prof. mechanic? What tool do I use to get it out? Some kind of press maybe?

PS Please excuse my posting this in a non-yamaha forum but as a new guy this topic seems like it might be common to other atvs as well.
