I’m not sure I would call a log splitter a trailer but I get your point. I’m talking a trailer of any size, even single axle.

I haven’t looked up any state laws but the vast majority of wood splitters don’t have taillights. I doubt virtually every manufacturer would sell something that clearly breaks the law if they were required.

The home owner wood splitters I see aren't rated for highway use.
Hitch is designed to be pulled by a lawn tractor.

Most of them aren’t rated to pull on an actual highway because the tires are usually 45mph rated but they’re made to be pulled at least home from the store.

The sole purpose of taillights is to make the vehicle visible, and show your intent to turn or stop. As long as it's daylight, the trailer is easily seen and the tow vehicle taillights are obvious I don't give two shakes whether it has trailer lights, working or not. When the trailer obscures the tow vehicle, they need to be working.

I get more frustrated at the number of people who don't know how to use their signal lights. It's a matter of basic courtesy to alert your fellow motorists when you are turning or stopping

I used to know what that was. Been so long since I have seen I don't think I would recognise it.

Teaching first daughter to drive: "Kid you're not nearly old enough to leave your turn signal on for miles and miles!"

At that point you need "blue hair" and should be peering out through the steering wheel :

Ha! When I taught my daughter to drive, we were out on a run and a guy approaching put his blinker on. I asked her do you know what that really means? And she knew I was thinking other than turning... "Well he could be pulling over, could have forgot it on, might be planning to turn but still may not, etc..." And I said "the only thing it truly means is that his blinker works. You have no idea if it means anything else." Truth.

If you have open C-channel, then these clips are about the best thing I've found for hanging wiring in a semi-protected way. Never as good as full tube frame, but better than having it above or below the frame rail, as you can "hang" the wire from these clips inside the half-protected c-channel:

Rocks are something I hadn't really thought of, if you're towing on a gravel or dirt road. All of my high speed or long distance towing is on asphalt, really only the landscape trailer ever goes off road, and even then it's low speed thru a field to pick up logs.

Not upping you but this but these are the one I used, I would think they are better since its rubber to rubber and not steal to rubber but I used metal screw to secure them and lots of them snap off after some time I would think they where too tight and the vibration cause them to snap.
