- 55HP 4WD KAMA 554 and 4 x 4 Jinma 284
About a year ago I bought a standard utility Carlson Trailer with ramp gate. It's my first trailer.
It's 7,000lb dual axle 16' car hauler type and 8' wide on the outside. It's got a 1 foot tall steel railing around the bed, equalizer leaf springs, electric brakes on one axle and 2" x 6" wood planks.
I think it weighs about 1,600lbs or so.
I bought it to haul boxes and furniture and other miscellaneous things, mostly to move some personal belongings to my rural property. I don't use it to haul my big Kama around, but I did use it to pick up my wife's 284 Jinma and a bunch of implements. I got that size because at the time, I had a full size Chevy Blazer, but now I have a 2500HD Silverado with diesel and Allison transmission. I would have gotten a 10,000lb 20 footer if I had that truck before. But this one really tows nicely loaded or empty. So far I've only got about 3,000 miles on it but it's come in very handy.
