That sounds really unusual to me; sounds like it was either defective or a bad design. I've been by the Texas Bragg trailer place, but never stopped to look at their trailers, so I'm not familiar with them and don't know what the problem was. I've just never heard that complaint about a tilt bed before, although the only one I've actually owned was just a single axle 5' x 10' tilt bed on which I hauled riding mowers, a Kubota B7100, Kawasaki Mule, and one trip to Ellensburg, WA, and hauled back some furniture and other personal property. When we got it loaded on that trip, we ran it across the scales and had 2,800 pounds on that one axle. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
