Are you going to haul wood and logs over the road or just around your place. DOT can be very interested in bunks and side stakes - at least here they can be.

Looks like a twin to mine, except mine isn't new..

The trucks that tow them are very similar as well. Mine's blue over black.

Nice trailer. Are prices here really that much better than down your way? Most of them are made in the southern states.

P.S. Thank you for not posting a pic of the other thing OP mentioned. :stirthepot:

Well I don't know what LM22 paid for his, mine is a 20 ft dovetail made in NC, I paid $1500 used and it even came with a 12000 pound winch! I did have to fix a couple boards though.

Thank you, the price was a few hundred cheaper, it was also available where as everything in my area was sold out with an 8 week lead time. The big draw was it's powder coated instead of painted. It needs to hold up to your weather, so I thought it might be a bit better around here. This one is made somewhat local I guess, it's not a big name brand, so we will see.

And as for the picture, you mean a pic of this??

I plan to haul all sorts of stuff, logs, brush, equipment, even cars maybe. As long as it's 5000lbs or less, I hope to haul it. Not sure on DOT and side panels around here, I'll add that to my homework assignments.

I definitely paid more that $1500 for mine, but it is brand new, all the used trailers I've seen recently around here were about the same price as what I paid but looked like they went down with the Titanic. This one is an 18' total, 16' flat and 2' beaver tail. The only thing I wanted but it didn't have was a vertical upright at the front of the flat deck. Oh well.

Yeah, I got pretty lucky with mine I think. As I said it had one board popped out of its "retainer " at one end and sticking way up in the air, and the winch did not work. I think if the guy had done a bit of work on it he could have sold it for more. The board I had to unscrew and shift so it would go back in, and the winch just needed a new ground cable! One fender is wrinkled up a bit but it doesn't bother me so I just left it alone. Mine has that vertical upright at the front which is nice. I may give it a new coat of paint sometime as it is looking a bit ragged.
