Heavy hauler: Can this price be beat?

[Gary Fowler]

That should be good as long as it shows the maintenance schedule for oil changes and all the grease points what else do you need for a Kubota. They never break or wear out according to their owners here on TBN.

Gary,
Does your new trailer have stake pockets for tiedowns ?
Also if you find the need, a good source of trailer parts ( the cheapest I've found in Houston ) is Polar , they are at beltway 8 and alt 90 on the east side.

Congratulations on the new trailer and Kubota to hold it down !!

C-ya

Yes it has stake pockets on the sides and a rub rail front to back

You can view a whole bunch of trailers that Trout Trailer has in Photobucket. Just go to Craigslist search for carhaulers and click on the one for $3095 (new price) with 12,000 GVW. Clicking on one of the small photos links you to the photobucket or just try this link

I thought stake pockets were not supposed to be used for chains/straps. Am I wrong?

How much does it weigh?

I like the load height of that trailer. I had the big deck over GN and hated it. Nice trailer.

How much does it weigh?

4000 lbs..

 

[Sterff]

4000 lbs..

Thats not as bad as I thought but, you can only haul 10K lbs then. Alot of the big gooseneck trailers weigh 7 or 8K lbs.

so if you have them tweek one for ya, have them

-add breaks to the second axle.
-make the fenders bolt on so you can drive over the tires with wide stuff, side load pallets directly onto the axle area, or haul a car, you wont get the door open wide enough to get out with those fenders in the way. (youll be going through the window... ask me how i know)
- have them move the spair tire holder up front so i can side load through the area were it currently is. an operation i do more than i drive up the back of mine.
- have them weld a 2" receiver to the side of the jack post/ bottom of the deck for a winch mount.

- is there 7 pin hook up wired for battery charging of the breakaway battery and is it wired for backup lights? (if not have them run the wire and/or include the lights) Ive been known to turn on my rear faceing tractor lights so i can back up the trailer in the dark with the tractor on it. Even if your tow rig isnt wired for backup lights its more than easy to add a switch between the 12v aux wire that supplies power to charge the bat and the backup wire. you pull up, get out flip the toggle and back the trailer up. park, get out and turn them off.

Id take min in a flat deck version and with the above mods pay $3500 less ramps (i have my own which i like better)
