Steve, That was a great price even 4 yrs ago!! I need a bigger one but I only use it 1-2 times a year for the tractor. Hard to justify to the CFO.

Steve must be down south because you can't get a new 12K trailer with spare and brakes on both axles in the northeast for that price.

To the OP you will probably be right at the limit with a 7K trailer with the attachments mentioned. If the price is right go for it.

I haven't checked 2009 prices to compare them. I live in New Mexico and the Big Tex trailers are built next door in Texas.

I think my 12,000 lb trailer with ramps, brakes on both axles and spare tire was only $3100 brand new. You should be able to find a good used one for half of that I think.

Gentlemen,

Sorry so long in returning. Out of town for awhile. I found this older used trailer for $500. It is a little rough and some quick expense calculations, over time, of repair parts/ material brings this to a song for me and gives me another project to piddle with. I will not be using everyday so time is not important just knowing I will be mobile with the "Toys" gives me great satisfaction.

I am pulling it with a 1/2 ton pickup.

The owner is looking for title it was registered last year. Did not think of that...Great advice will look into.

By my calculations I am estimating around 5600 for the "toys". So I will have to be careful not to overload. If I must I may have to make two trips if needed but I see that being rare.
