Lets talk small utility trailers,78 inches wide x 14 feet long.

I've been crazy busy lately. 180# of tongue weight is probably fine unloaded but it should be 10% of your total load for any real weight.

My wood gate is a 2 x 10,

Its already made but i would consider cutting out the stops you put in, and useing two 2x8. they will double as ramps. I lost the top one more than once before i fabed holes in the C channel at the sides for a cross pin to retain the top one.

Steve, I all ready have heavy duty 5 foot ramps.
Chris, thank you for the reply.

I hope this gets drivers attention, I would hate gettin' rear ended

Well, the trailer did great, took it up to EauClaire,Wis, 825 miles total.
I do/did not need a tandem tires at 50 PSI, also balanced.
My 8 inch hitch extension was flawless, anti rattle gizmo's work great.
You could honestly not tell the trailer was behind the Frontier.
I am running 180 pounds of tongue weight, the Deere X534 is near 840
pounds the way it sits.
I ended up taking out two more chain links on the safety chains.
I could not be happier, people, please don't cobble things together
I am glad I took my time and bought good stuff
