I have been searching this site for info on trailer deals, and what the best rig might be for my needs for some time. The reason was,that I knew my 19' 9000# bumper pull was not big enough for my current machine. That being said, I had a small job lined up about 25 miles away. I loaded up the machine, and headed down the road. I was coming down a moderately steep hill at about 65 mph, when I looked in the rear view, and saw the trailer start to fishtail. In the blink of an eye it started to oscillate, and it was in the other lane. I hit the brakes, and steered in to the other lane to straighten it out, and was able to get it under control. My friend was behind me in his car, and said there had been no indication to him, that this was going to happen. I checked the tires,and the bearings they were a little warm, but that was all. I kept it under 50 the rest of the way. The thing I want to point out, is we sometimes know we need to do the right thing, and we do the wrong one anyway. In my case I kept saying to myself, "it's OK, your going to to replace the trailer soon." To make a long story short. The trailer is now for sale. I have ordered a goos neck hitch for my truck. Once the hitch is in I will order the trailer.
