Anyone own one of these, I was thinking about ordering myself this one
http://www.redtrailers.com/ShowTrailer.asp?id=9 with upgraded axle for another $290. So it can carry almost 1 ton. All in all with everyhitng its $1000
My current one is the type you have seen maybe in northern tool catalog or harbor freight. Its rated I think for 980lbs and has only 8 inch tires.Ive got my money out of it, I think it only cost me $200 brand new in a box.
One thing red trailer says is " whats the difference between yours and the trailers that look just like it for $50 less etc" They say its the tongue design.The one I have has the same style of tongue , it was originally bought from a store like target but called Fred Meyers out here for $279 unassembled with no floor or sides.
Im just looking for a good lumber hauler. Its and added benefit to me that it folds up so I dont have to put outside beside my house and build a fence so the HOA cant see it.
I find myself testing the limit on this trailer hauling 10 sheets and some hardwood at 70 down the freeway etc. Most recently I had a bearing go while hauling a 20 inch planer on it, bearings were greased. Planer was sitting right over the axle, that might of done it. It was the inside bearing.Might of binded and bowed the axle when hitting bumps etc.My beds 4x8.
