Upgraded my single axle lawn zero turn trailer to a 7k tandem last week. The single axle was limiting me to moving one machine at a time and we frequently need both.
Money is slim with today’s economy, so I found a deal on a close out 7,000lb dual axle trailer.
20FT Retco- made in Missouri.
2) 3500lb braking axles
Optional 10 ply radials.
Spare tire mount
LED lights
Only $3,700.
It’s a 2022, but had been sitting on lot for about a year.
When I say “only”, you ought to see what trailers cost today. Next best deal I could find on a 7k was $4,600. I almost bought a nice used 9999lbs, but he wanted $5,500. Just didn’t feel like it was warranted for 2 zero turns weighing 1750 each.
All the other used trailers I found were overpriced, junky, or both!
We only have 4 large zero turn mowing contracts, so I will only use trailer 2 times a week and low mileage, so I went into “economy mode” for this purchase.
