it was a joke about the seats,
no reason to flip em and

I didn't get the seat flipping either. Then again my hoe has it's own seat - a bass boat swivel seat. Same as the tractor. Hey, the originals were shot, shot, shot again then run over and drug down a gravel road and I had two extra seats sitting around...
I had my trailer tagged at 10k then last renewal upped it to 12k. It was fine for my kubota with implements, but needed the extra for the Ford Backhoe. Although your trailer does have a "5 Ton" tag on it....

NY state is just as bad to register. I have one trailer registered here and my second one in another state. One year in NY costs more than 7 years in another state.
NY is $50. just to transfer a title, plus over $60 a yr. for a 7K trailer registration plus state annual inspection fee.
The 2nd, a 12K gooseneck is registered in another state and was just over $100 for 7 yrs. for the reg. and no inspection.
workingallthetime mentioned a quote of 3K for a 10K 20' trailer. I only wish that was the price in NY. You'd be lucky to find a 7K for that price here. I priced trailers for 6 months in NY before driving to PA to buy my 20' tiltbed. It was 1500 cheaper there. I can't understand why trailer dealers ask so much for them here. Maybe no one builds trailers here and the dealers add the cost of shipping 6 trailers at a time to each one they sell.

On the bright side, trailers 3500# and down don't need a plate !
Boat trailers of any size don't need a plate !
Ductape said:HUH ???? No plates needed on a trailer? Sheepdip ! Was like a hundred and a half for my #7000 dump trailer PLUS it has to be inspected annually. Amazing the tax difference from one state to another, eh???
George2615 said:John_bud,
Everything here needs a registration and plate. 4 wheelers, snowmobiles, all trailers, mopeds, etc. This state is driving out residents and businesses with all the fees and taxes.
john_bud said:I swap ya straight up. I'll pay your trailer tag and you pay my 7% state income tax.
deal?
