I pull it with an SUV but the real benefit is that it folds up and stores easily inside on the side of the garage. It has 2 inch casters that i will replace with 3 inch but it does roll and is manageable by one male Capacity is about 900-950 net which is fine for dump runs or collecting Craigslist bargains without the hassle of going to and dealing with Uhaul.

The only real downside I have found so far is that once you put a deck on the bed you must crawl underneath to install and undo four bolts that secure the trailer in it's unfolded position. I may have to figure out a more convenient locking mechanism.

I remember that with the one I assembled. I got some short pins and clips instead of the bolts. They were maybe 3/8" diameter and about 1" long. A short stack of washer snugged them up to the clips. They were just miniature versions of top link pins used on the 3 point.

It never really flopped around because of the weight of the wood and the load you may be hauling.

Yeah I think I can use hitch pins for the lateral bolt I just need to figure out something to relieve upward pressure on the hinge without crawling underneath. Maybe I can weld a bracket on the outside to make bolting it down more accessible.
