Country Manufacturing Trailer, Tandem or Wagon?

Yes. I am talking wagon. I am not sure what they are using on the trailer but I would guess from looking at the pictures it is the same 3" x 4.10 bar channel. Their designs seem to be on the low end of the structual scale with no built in margin for overloads.

Ya, but for the price I think it is worth having to make a few minor mods if necessary. Nothing else out there even comes close unless you build it yourself and I already have way too many projects going. Just ask my wife. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Why did you opt for that channel and hitch configuration? )</font>

I wanted to attach the pintle hitch so that the trailer was level behind our airport tow motors, and this was the simplest way I could find to do it. Also, we have a couple of other vehicles capale of towing the trailer, so this gave us the option of switching to a clevis or ball hitch( but we never have)

The tongue is square tubing on our tandem trailer.

Just received my trailer! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Sure enough, 3" square tube. Looks like 3/16" wall, maybe a little heavier. I think I might stick with the regular 2" ball coupler. Nice and simple. As long as I go with one rated for at least 5000 lbs. or more I would think that I should be all set. Cylinder is due here on Friday. I should be ready for dumping in no time! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
