Hi. It's been a while since I visited. I now have a second need for a movable chicken coop. I'm leaning toward the FarmTek running gear. They have two models rated at 1500 and 3000 pounds. I plan to build a coop on the 3000 and to buy the 1500 with a expanded wire deck for moving materials. No dumping capability, but I think I can live with that.

Here are the 2 ton models from CMI. It looks like they tilt up pretty high so I don't know if that solves the problem that Bob has had with dumping.

Paul, the utility trailers at FarmTek look just like the CMI ones.

Lunk, the KK trailer looks good, I like that it is all metal, but, for me its capacity is too low, especially at that price which is up there.

I've looked around for a while now and cannot find anything in the 2 ton range that looks like it would meet my needs except for the CMI ones. And the price is good. I've got rear remotes so I would add a ram and not have to mess with a bottle jack.

I've had good luck with the Country Manufacturing 2 ton trailer. The wood floor doesn't leak as much as you'd think. It is a little worse for wear after we abused it during my Pool Demo Project but has stood up pretty well. It dumps plenty high - everything slides out OK. The rear could be higher when dumping - the piles end up kind of long & low.

There is one thing I don't understand and that's the drop-pin hitch connection. I just don't see how that is supposed to work on a regular draw bar. I see no problems on level ground. But what about hills and uneven ground side to side? With a ball hitch the trailer can move up and down and twist side to side by rotating on the ball. On the wagon version the tongue is hinged to provide up and down flexibility. I just don't see how it works on the trailer. Is there just a lot of slop between the pin and the draw bar hole it fits in?
