Nice for a poor farmer, But what happened to the other trailer you wanted for the zero turn mower? You give up on it?

:laughing:

Yes gave up on smaller trailer, for now. The one I have now gets the job done. I still hit CL here and there thinking I might find the unicorn trailer (12k deckover with full width ramp).
I traded in one of my kids to buy the BIG trailer. :laughing:
Thinking of trading another for a Toolcat.:laughing:

Now that is a serious trailer! Nice! Should match your serious truck nicely. Pictures on delivery, please.

Nice trailer, I heard good and bad things about oil bath hubs. The bad being they often leak. Will you be putting many miles on the trailer a year?

You going down to Lexington to pick it up?

 

[Hay Dude]

Lexington, NC.

 

[RickB]

Yes sir.

If you are not doing a one day whirlwind trip let me know if you are running I-77. I might be able to meet you around Statesville for lunch or a coffee.

[Hay Dude]

How much was that kid worth?

Real nice trailer! How many bales do you plan for it?

 

[Hay Dude]

28) 4x5 is the dream. :laughing:
Thatll put me at ~13-14 tons per load. Previous truck was 10 tons which was good, but if I can increase efficiency 30% per load, it should save me time & fuel.
Will it ever pay off the delta between the old truck & trailer and the new truck and trailer? Maybe. I needed a new truck. The 08 was getting to the point where repairs were coming up close to the remaining value of the truck. It was giving me too much stress. :confused2:
