Here's a photo of the trailer that I purchased. (see attached)

It is an 18' car hauler.
16' of flat surface and 2' dovetail at the rear.
Full steel deck.
5' ramps that store underneath from the left side.
Dual axles with electric brakes on all 4 wheels.
Battery powered break away feature that is supposed to apply the brakes if it gets away.
Bulldog coupler for a 2" ball.
There are stake pockets so that I could put on sides very easily.

See the power trac thread for more info that will be posted shortly. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Very nice trailer Dave! Put a wood deck on it, a whole bunch of mud and you'd have mine [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Had a bit of an issue with mine the other night. I drug it to work thinking I'd have to stop for some Sonotubes. On the way home I heard more then the usual amount of rattling. Took the builders tractor back to him then poked my head underneath. The straps that hold the inboard end of the ramp rack had broken loose. Pretty slim looking welds. Thursday I'll run it by a shop I know and have it repaired. Nothing major, but a bummer none-the-less. While we have it up in the air I plan on peeking at all the other "hidden" welds [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks. Your tip on Tuff Top paid off. They brought one down from Three Rivers and the price was right. I'll post a picture with all my stuff on it in the Power Trac thread in a few minutes.

Yes, those look very versatile. For now, I have a tri-ball insert for my reciever. It has 3 balls of different sizes and was only $49.00 at TSC. Later on I'll purchase a pintle insert for sure. Thanks.

Very nice, what is the GVW?

Mine too. But I opted for the surge brakes and have added removable sides so I can haul cars, tractor, furniture or trash.

Hey, me too! I added 2X10 sides for the whole length of the flat portion (16'). Amazing how handy those things have become. Sames a lot of tying down small stuff [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Glad everything worked out for you. Makes a nice looking rig with all that stuff on board. I've got a lot of dirt to move pretty soon, wanna bring it on over?

Hey, that PT may actually be the hot ticket. I've got to get a bunch of fill under the porch. I was going to dump buckets of it through the deck framing but the PT may be able to sneak in under the framing... Hmm [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I still have to get an electric brake actuator installed. After that, who knows [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]
