Well, thats about all I got:thumbsup:

I do want to post some links to my other projects that I have shared on here as well in the past. Kinda for my benefit to have them all in one place for future reference.

Feel free to ask any questions. And comments are always welcome, good OR bad.

Hey,
Nice trailer, very much like one we use here for firewood and hauling moose out of the mountains. Is that a 3/4 ton axle? Just wondering why you didnt cut the rear end out and join the axles with pipe. The axles dont really do anything except transmit torque to the hubs.

Hey, sorry about that. Some of your post didnt come up initially, I see you did cut the axle out. It looks so much like ours...

Very nice trailer. Did you build it yourself?? How big is it?

I forgot to mention, the first trailer I posted is 4'6" x 9' long and 30" sides

That second one is 7' wide and 11' long

You sure used some nice axles for those trailers, almost seems a shame. Just add a motor and Xfer case and tranny and it would be a ride on self propelled trailer! How about really getting trick and (on the first trlr) cut that drag link loose and tie it to a small hyd cyl. and you could really sneak the thing thru the woods LOL! Nice job!

It's all about what we had avaliable. I actually had a couple of D60 rears and D44 fronts. Tried to sell em for $100 each and no one wanted them So I held onto them and decided to put them to good use:thumbsup:

I like the cylinder Idea though, but maybe next time. I dont have rear remotes on my tractor, not to mention there isnt enough room for the tire to turn.

If you happen upon a Dana 60 front end with a drivers side axle intact PM me lol. Theyre rare as rocking horse poop.

Great Job!!!! The Ground Clearance is great, so it should be a breeze to tow in the woods. Nice BF Goodrich's Too:thumbsup: BTW, Where are the rops on the L3400??

He removed them for his own reasons. Those are some really nice trailers, I wish i had some thing like what you have but I only have to transport the split wood about 60 feet right now to the stacks and stock pile the logs at "base camp" with my grandpa's skid steer loader.

If I happened upon one of them, I would NOT make a trailer out of it. Even a passenger side drive. Worth too much for a lowly trailer axle

Yep, No Rops. Dont need no stinking rops. Just got to know how to opetare. All the rops do is get hung up on trees and garage doors. Nothing like mowing and ducking under a branch only to have the rops grab it and smack you in the back of the head with it. And for the record, the seat saftey switch has been disabled as well. There are times I like to stand up when operating. Like FEL work and bushhogging. Better visibility:thumbsup:

And yes, with the 35" tires, they tow VERY nicely through the woods. The ground clearence and floatation of the tires are awesome.
