I am considering buying a utility trailer. It has been on the dealers lot for 2-3 years. It is 82"x20' with 15" metal side wall, 12,000 lb rating and mesh rear ramp gate. I like the rear gate for loading smaller stuff such as ZTR. However, I would like to occassionally load my JD 3720 CUT or Toolcat. I think the mesh gate won't be strong enough. If I beef up the tailgate, it may get too heavy to easily lift. Suggestions? I have considered making a set of regular ramps to lay over the mesh gate and then load heavier stuff. I could store them under the trailer. Could just reinforce the mesh gate where the TC and CUT tires travel? TC weighs over 5K plus attachments.
