Comments on this trailer... good or bad?

Odd (to me)... two 2,350 lb axles, yet 7,000 GVW? How's that work?

When I bring up the ad it says 2 - 3500 lb axles.
It has low sides because it only has a 4800 lb load capacity. If the sides were higher owners would tend to fill it up which would make it over capacity. I think it would work for your friends light duty uses.

Seems like a very single purpose trailer. A tandem of sand\soil\gravel etc... is only $200~300 delivered and most of that is the cost of the product.

:ashamed: That's embarrassing. You are absolutely correct. My apologies, and that sure does make lots more sense now.
It says "2, 3500lb axles" and my mind just saw the comma and filled in the rest. Sigh.

No need to apologize. Sometimes the mind reads what it wants and not what it sees.
Sometimes I get in a hurry to reply and put my foot in my mouth.

Did you even read the OP's post?

It would be used for dump runs and to haul anything horse related... hay, shaving etc.

It's a trailer for someone to haul "stuff", no mention of

sand\soil\gravel etc.

OP - did you find out about brakes yet?

/edit - I've found many ads mentioning brakes, but then they only have them on one axle.

Price in the ad includes brakes on one axle... the person did not know the cost for adding second axle brakes and was going to check...

Yup. It's too small for large loose items. Too small for hay or shavings. Impractical for loads of soil, sand etc..

If it were me I would look at the 10,000 lb trailers , they are a bit more money , but they are a lot more trailer . I had a 7000 lb and regreted not getting a bigger capacity after 6 months
