Congrats!! Yes a new trailer is great thing...I have a Rice and I love it. Mine is 16', as you stated--18' would be better. I wet with a utility type as a compromise since I haul all kinds of stuff over long distances sometimes.View attachment 550381 View attachment 550382

Good looking trailer. How much does that gas shock help with 'dropping' and lifting of the ramp?

Thanks..That shock actually helps more than I thought it would. It slows the descent pretty well and I can pick up the gate easily with one hand.

Nice Trailer Tim! I like the Rice trailers. Nice rig! I don't think I've seen a utility trailer quite like that.

Fried - I'm sure you're going to love that trailer! These are built very well. The only thing I wish I did was buy it 2 years ago! Sorry to hear about the treatment at Candia. I've been up there at least 4 times and they always treated me well, but they are always very busy. Sounds like they just screwed up, but depending on when that was, it could have been a steel price issue. A Cam dealer told me (last week) that prices were sky-rocketing next month due to steel prices.

Thanks..It's a good compromise for me..I like the fact that if anything gets loose it'll hopefully stay contained. Loading bulk stuff on pallets is a little more difficult but I'm OK with that.
