That is a really nice trailer there Timber...
Heck, your old one looks good to me...
I am refurbishing an older trailer of my dad and it is like your old one...
Nothing wrong with it but not nearly as nice as your new one...
The old trailer belongs to my dads, He has a B610 with a dedicated Back Scratcher. It is a landscape trailer and kind of light duty for my equipment. I am so happy I was able to find a new Deck Over for what I paid. It was posted on Cregslist 8 hours before I saw it at 3 am they day I went to look it over and bought it.

Nice trailer. If it were me I would take it and get it weighed when you pick it up, if your truck hasn't been weighed would be a good idea to get it done empty also. This way you'll know all your empty axle weights and empty tongue weight, it can give you a better idea of position when loading equipment.

That is a great idea, infact I can do it at the business right next door to me. They have a cat scale in their yard. I'll do that on Monday after I pick it up.

I picked up a 6000 pound winch today over at harbor freight I was pretty pleased with that. I also grabbed 4 chain binders, 2 ratchet and 2 standard binders.

Do you have a use in mind for the winch or is it just for those unplanned times something needs pulled on the trailer?

Sounds like you will be set up very well.

The primary use will be on the trailer but I will put it on a Reciever mount plate so I can use it on my tractor and pickups as well.

Good idea using the receiver plate.

Maybe I cannot tell from your photos but that trailer looks like a dovetail to me. A beavertail would have the angled rear outside frame with an inset deck that would lift to level out the deck. Nice trailer though.
