Please post a picture of that.

I will but it will be a few weeks, wife has tested positive for the virus so I'm on lockdown with her. We are both very healthy and in our mid 50's so will be fine. The beast is being used down the road by some older folks so I'm not going to get anywhere near them.

Thanks but we are not sick yet and do not live on the standard american diet of poison. Neither of us has been sick or on any meds in 10 yrs, we will be fine.At the first sign of a symptom we will using oil of oregano which has been proven to kill all the other corona type viruses and **** near all flu strains. You don't want to use the stuff till you show signs though. It is powerful and kills ALL the bacteria and good stuff in your system too. You want all that good stuff working UNTIL it needs help.

Yes. That's one size larger than my favorite that I described above in post #39. I think that general category of trailers - probably a smaller one for OP's declared needs - is the best choice. He's pulling it with a real tractor not an ATV so something running on 5.30 x12C tires and simple, seems to me a more useful choice than the expensive 'ATV-ready' fancy ones.

That other trailer I described in #39, for watering, ran two seasons on its original 4.80x8B tires and I was sure that abuse - dragging those tiny tires around like a sledge through the disced ground, at more than 100% over their rated capacity, would soon pop its 20 year old cheap HF tires. But they held up. My tractor similar to his - 15 pto hp - was sufficient to just drag the watering trailer by brute force. (It rolled a lot easier after I finally put 12" auto tires on it!)

OP specified a modest price. I think that HD style trailer but smaller is closer to what would serve him well. But YMMV!

Breadtrk I saw your post after posting this. Best wishes from all of us for a speedy recovery.

This older small trailer with full size wheels can be had for $450 or less. The bigger wheels would allow it to roll through grass/snow easier than small wheels.

Keep us posted on your battle with the virus. We are starving for first hand information without speculation and rumors. Prayers.

It's day 4 and I tested negative the day after she was diagnosed, but since we do live in the same house, they said I will get it too, not really any way of avoiding it. So far neither of us has any symptoms at all. We are out in the country and well supplied on everything.

Been using the time to go through all the small engine stuff and fix or repair. Had my neighbor pick up some fuel line, plugs, filters, belts etc, then set it on the hood of the truck, then I picked it up after he left. I put money we had soaked in Lysol out for him but he didn't take it... guess I'll be backhoeing a water line over to his garage when this all blows over.

Got both flower beds tilled for a make over, first lawn mowing, weedeated, sprayed drives with killer, power washed all the equipment and garage, Wife has cleaned all the pantry and cupboards of stuff we will never use, she took the 40 yr old Hobart mixer apart and cleaned all the gears and whatnot in my parts washer, then put it back together with some food grade grease I bought a decade ago just for this, toaster, coffee machine, my big old smoker-grill-added on searing burner-rigged up electric oven monstrosity all taken apart and cleaned like new.


We are running out of things.... the virus ain't gonna get us, one or the other of us is gonna wind up killing the other before this is over I'm sure.

Good luck and I am sure you will have a full recovery. My wife and I use oil of oregano and swear by it. I put a few drops under my tongue and inhale the vapor into my lungs. I have not been sick in decades.

You should start a COVID thread and let us know of your progress.
