7k Trailer in new england?

[KentT]

I went through the same thing a couple years ago -- basically $1000 more for the same trailer as down south or from the other side of the Mississippi.

I ended up buying a new Hawkline from a distributor out of Ohio, just outside the manufacturer, and combined picking it up with a road trip with my 14 year old -- where I and hauled enough garden tractors and implements to pay for my gas bill...

We had a blast, essentially on a paid vacation!

Hey Irwin,

IDK how far south Uncle Henry's reaches, but there are usually some fair deals to be had out of there...

A lot of landscapers are looking to upgrade to the tilt-bed and deckover trailers that started with equipment trailers--they may be resources to check with in your area if you are willing to put the time in for it.

I got lucky when my dealer bought a tiltbed truck and sold me his 20 ft 10k for cheap... he tried to buy it back soon after, but it was indispensable by then!

What's Uncle Henry's ? got phone number? I don't mind traveling 4-5 hours if the deal is right.. .. Luckily I have a repair plate that can be used to transport a trailer til it can be registered.. as long as it's empty and i'm extra carefull it won't matter if trailer brakes won't hook up right away..
I see you're in Maine, love it up there , spent two weeks on Sugar Island on Moosehead Lake, roughing it.....water was 45'f you gotta wanna be clean!!
Also family had a cabin down in York 40-45 years ago- before it became a tourist mecca.

Irwin,
Nice find on the trailer. Now I'd weld on some HD D-rings front and back for tie down points instead of the bent bar stock that is there.

Hi George.. Thanks for the heads up, hadn't thought about, but will do.. You're right they do look less than adequate........
