trailer recomendations!

bucks.
1*Bottom line is, it's way too much for a 9 yr old trailer. I'm kinda surprised it's even factory built since it doesn't have any brakes.
2*If it still has the original tires on it, then they're at or near the end of their useful life, and 4 new tires won't be cheap.

1*The Trailer is only 3 months old.
I mistakenly posted 2000 in my original post. Should have typed 2009.
2*I think it has used tires on it.Not much tread on them but to much tread has been worn off to have used up in only 3 months.

I'll add a comment, I have a 16+2 dovetail trailer rated at 7000lbs. It has 16 feet of flat deck and a 2 foot dovetail. When I bought it my 14 year old son laughed at me for buying such a long trailer and my wife thought I was crazy. I bought a 4' brush mower last week and hauled it home with my tractor on the trailer. I had the end loader on as counter ballance on the front end. It pretty much filled up the trailer. The tail wheel was sitting on the very back of the dovetail and the end loader was about 8 inches from the front rail.
In other words, you can fill a trailer up in a hurry, so everyones advice on getting at least a 16 foot trailer with brakes on one axle is pretty good advice.

I'd really like to have an 18 foot long tilt bed with brakes on 4 wheels.

If its as new as you say and in good shape I would buy it. I get brake kits for about $300 for all 4 wheels. The used tires do not bother me on a trailer like this since for most they will dry rot off before they wear out.
