Now for the heavy part glad I got the remote control 3000 lbs winch on the new trailer, I unloaded it all myself and this thing is heavy!

Jason, congrats, I'm sure you're gonna love it. But, it is just another lathe.

I'm more interested in the story on the trailer, looks awesome. What can you tell us?

I'm with Doug, that is a very nice trailer you've got there. It looks to have it all.

Well it is home not set up I got the legs on and can't lift the thing. Of course it was 1 am so I may of just been exhausted. Will try again tonight.

The trailer is new it is 6.5ft x 9ft with a 3500 lbs axle. The guys at the shipping company looked at me funny when I told them to load it in the toyata corloa outside ;) Then several of them came out and asked me about hte trailer also. It saves me allot of gas these days because I drive a regular sports car and not a truck. (the corolla towing it is my wifes) Besides it is has about twice the capacity of a truck and I don’t have to get crap in my vehicle. Also only costs me $12 a year to register it no inspection ar any other hassles. Eight yeas ago I got a harbor freight trailer that served me well but did put it to it's limits. Between rust and a sawstop I basically started to bend the frame, so this time I did alot of research and got a custom Worthington Aluminum trailer that will never rust and can carry 3 times the weight and has all LED lighting so I don't even have to change a bulb. Had a custome tung box put on for the winch and storage. The stow able ramps and remote winch are key though I can pull anything up on it including logs for turning and back things down safely.

jeez and all I did to bring my PM home was put it in my VW.
an 89 VW fox ( looks like the audi) . lathe bed in the back seat,hhm twist it a little so i could shut the door. one set of legs in the from seat/ floorboards along with the bowl rest tool rest and banjo then the motor and tailstock in the truck. whoops too much weight in the back ... move the tailstock to the back seat too. oh second leg in the back seat.. away we go .
as for setting it up definetely a two freind sort of job. but then you need two to move it to where you want to to stay also . good luck .
