Thanks again for all the inputs.
Regarding space and multiple trailers - we have ~2 acres of cleared 'lawn' around the house (which is on the side of a hill, not all flat), with 2 garage/sheds side x side with 'parking' area in front of them as well as some space on either side of the pair that's big enough to park a car / truck / trailer (one that's already occupied w/ an old car that may soon be gone). But, there's not enough room in the parking area to drive a truck in a circle, so we'd have to back the trailer down at least 1/2 the driveway when parking it. Also, no one lives at the house full-time (it's more of a weekend / summer home), so the less equipment that is stored out in the open the better. And let's just say there are certain 'elements' in the family that won't appreciate the aesthetic of various pieces of equipment scattered around the property. So, for now, 1 trailer, and let's just leave it at that...
Doing some more thinking, I don't really need to use the trailer around the property, so pulling it
with the SxS isn't really a requirement. I guess I was trying to 'add value' to the purchase with that thought.
Trimming down my original list of uses, these are really the main ones, in rough order of frequency of use:
1) Use to transport a Polaris Ranger SxS UTV
2) Occasional 'Utility Trailer' (material runs at HD, etc...)
3) Occasional Tractor Hauler (Kioti CK3510se w/ Loader & Backhoe, filled tires, ~6k lbs.?)
4) Occasional hauling of rental equipment (Skid Steer, Mini Ex, etc...)
We may also have occasion to move some furniture between 2 houses about 100mi apart, but will probably use an enclosed rental trailer for when we need to do that.
Now I'm looking at this H&H, except 20'.

(The EBY I posted earlier was nice, but a quote I got on it was more than I was looking to spend.)
I figure the HH trailer (or equivalent) can do all of the above. I do like the swivel D-rings, the extra stake pockets, and the aluminum deck. It does seem to have a Torsion Axle setup, which, from what I gather, is lower-maintenance and more corrosion resistant (which is good since the trailer is more for occasional use and will live outside). Based on the design, it also looks like I won't have much trouble finding a WDH that will work with it, which I think i should still have for the heavier loads, and is light enough that my brother can use it w/ his SUV if he needs to (staying within his limits, of course).
