I paid $5500 for mine probably 4 years ago. I’m sure I could sell it for more now so I’m not exactly stuck with it.

I have a manual tilt and I don’t regret it at all. The electric pumps take forever to tilt the trailer plus if the battery is dead you aren’t going anywhere.

You can buy a tilt bed with a fixed portion at the front that doesn’t move. Mine has 6 feet fixed deck at the front that doesn’t move. My biggest drawback is I can’t load 2 lawnmowers but I can manage pretty well with loading multiple implements.

I can’t see paying for firewood logs or firewood for that matter. Firewood only sorta makes sense when it’s free. If you’re paying you might as well turn on the thermostat.

This dude isn’t getting any overweight tickets.

I love using my tilt trailer and not having to flip ramps. A deckover trailer is kinda overkill for anything less than a duel tandem IMO. There’s really nothing thats more than 7 ft wide yet light enough to go on a 14k trailer. It’s the same story for pallets. I can load 2 pallets in front of...

You don’t have to remove the blades. You do have to remove the stump jumper.

I’m not sure why you would attempt to work on it that way. Flip it all the way over.

The plastic pans with a spout are pretty easy to pour back into the used jugs. I’ve never seen a metal pan with a spout.

It’s supposed to go in the pins not the water well. Grab a shovel if you care that much.

I guess you could not wash your hair for a week and rub on the pins too but there’s far better options available.

That grease is made to replace gear oil when the seals are blown out. It was never made for pins.

I’m not seeing it as being that hard. The skid steer has no shortage of pins to grease and they’re every one recessed. If they weren’t they would be broke off the first day. It takes me maybe 5 minutes to grease the machine.

I use a screwdriver to scrap out enough dirt that I can get the nozzle seated in place and call it good. I don’t bother cleaning them to perfection.

I don’t think any manual is calling for grease on the loader pins every 50 hours of actual use.
