mower/junk/brush trailer

Ok I didnt make it from scratch but it was an old boat trailer rotting in the woods at my pops property . I shortened it added some c alluminum for a floor and sides and welded a spare tire holder on and added some lights that come off of grill trailer that I welded for a neighbor and he wanted new lights so I got the old ones free so basically a free utility trailer just about 4.5 hours work. just needs paint as I ran out right after I started.

I'm not much good at building stuff but do have a lot of projects to do and not nearly enough time to do 'em. That sounds like some kind of proverb or something.

"Stuff" automatically increases to more than the space available to store it.

Projects automatically increase to more than the time available to do them.

not bad box, can you haul your tractor on it?

I have a Cub Cadet and a Pa Panzer garden size tractors I use just to pull small trailers on my property. I've thought about building a trailer small enough to be pulled by the Cub Cadet but heavy enough to haul the Cub Cadet. If you need to take it somewhere you can haul it and then use it to pull the trailer when you get there. Looks like you might have the same thing.

That thought originated with the thought of going to tractor shows in mind. Pull a trailer with seats mounted on it. If you've ever been to Denton, NC, thats a lot of walking.

Its kinda narrow and my shibaura is somewhere around the 4000 pound mark its a four cylinder but if it fits it would be nice . I have a sighn up that says I will haul away appliances and other junk free I was half way done with the trailer and I received a call to pick up some junk so I finished up the trailer last night and went and picked it up it was a fire place insert and about a 30 foot boat with a v8 io motor made by omc it also had a small hydrolic pump and I will find something for them I will scrap the trailer as its rotted due to salt water. then A guy wanted me to pick up two craftsman riding mowers and he would pay me to change over the steering column and give me the other mower to boot as soon as I get one project done another comes along but that 19.6 hp twin cylinder brigs. I d small engine repair and have a tree cutting service for a living which both are slack durin g the winter.
