Pull trailers

surfacewave · Oct 21, 2002

Great information guys!. One of my concerns was the heigth of the hitch .5m to ,85 meters (reengineering the tounge) but I think if I could find the trailer in good condition with big wheels it would be a great bargin for woods work and muck hauling. I did go to the Northern Tool site but could not find the 2200 hundred pound capacity gear (do you have an item # rozette?).
Now the barge wagon at 48 bucks a pop what a deal. I think I'll buy more than one (ha, ha). Realistically, cowboydoc where can you buy one of these? an Ag center? I haven't been able to find one online yet (need some help here).

Good article RobertN everyone should read to be reminded.

cchotae, how did you know I was going to haul wet pond muck also, you must have CUT ESP!

You guys gave alot of great response s but let me ask you this. If I could find a decent Military trailer would a attachment like the Flexpoint allow me to hitch up at the correct height? The link adress is http://www.summitfab.com/ or will I have to still to modifications to the hitch or wouls another type like Lowerys "Towbar" mention in previous threads be sufficent. I kinda like the flexpoint idea and would be easy to replicate if you had the time.

Thanks, John

My neighbor works there.
The flexpoint will work to adjust hitch ht. but like previous post U HAVE TO
HAVE TONGUE WEIGHT.
Northern has a pintle hitch to go in 2" tube also.

If you have a TSC (Tractor Supply Store) nearby, their catalog shows a 4'X8' trailor with 12" wheels in a box, you assemble and install your own flooring, for $230. I think it says 2000# capacity, I don't have the catalog handy now.

Actually, it is cheaper to buy the exact same wagons from Northern Tool than from Country Mfg.

The 1-ton wagon is $575 from Country Mfg. (model # 7300) and is $550 from Northern (item # 128409). For the 2-ton wagon is $1075 from Country (model # 8500) and only $900 from Northern (item # 128410).

In either case, the wagons are dropped shipped from Country's factory in Fredericktown, OH
