Hello -
I'm currently looking at an 18' trailer that a local dealer in ND manufactures. The trailer is $1795, can be linux-coated (rubberized coating like you see on truck liners), and has all the features you'd want in a 7000lb trailer. The total price I'm looking at with the spring-loaded drop jack, linux-coating, etc., is around $2100.
It is manufactured by ABU Trailers - Dwight, ND. Specs include:
-Dovetail
-3x5x5/16" angle mainframe and hitch
-Tandem axle - 2 3500# axles
-electric brakes
-wrap around hitch
-2" A frame coupler
-Stored ramps
-2x8 plank floor (Fir)
-2x4 stake pockets
-Tear drop fenders
-82" between fenders
-6' removable front rail
-Breakaway kit
-battery - installed
-lights/reflectors
-safety chains
-new 215 /75R15 tires & white spoked wheels
They are showing these at the Minnesota State fair - knowledgeable members of the family have all said this was a great buy for the trailer. Any thoughts? Is this a good price?
(BTW, my JD4600 w/ FEL is 15' long. If I add my 72" deck, it will be over 18'. I don't think this will be a big problem as I don't expect to haul the mower anywhere and the other implement's I'm looking at are smaller (box blade, for example)
Thanks for the feedback!
