Have you priced Dexter axles lately ? 8K axles list for $978.00 and that is what my supplier wants for them. Times 2 = two thousand in axles prior to buying any steel.
I have never seen a single axle hand operated dump trailer for $800. That is not within anyones imagination. ( Was it made of wood with a snowmobile axle intended for an ATV ? )
I did a lot of research on truck tires v/s trailer tires when it was time to replace my tires on my car trailer this past spring. Called several manufactors and got several different stories on how their tires were superior to others; however, what everyone pretty much said was: On a single axle trailer you can get away useing regular truck tires, but not recommended, since trailer sway plays havoic on the sidewall. On a dual axled trailer you should only run a tire specificly designed for use on a trailer because with a dual axled trailer, the tires aren't just tagging along, in turns they have severe forces applied to the side wall which trys to tear the tire off the rim especially in a tight turn and standard truck tire isn't designed to tollarate those sidewall forces it's designed just to carry the weight. So once again I bought trailer tires. Shoot I got close to 20k out of my last set with rotating them from front to back keeping the wear equal since the back tires are always skiding around tight corners.
