My New Trailer

[lawn mower fanatic]

Nice trailer. And now maybe you will not break anymore mower handles carrying your blower on them.

Yeah I know! Or wear the wheels out!

Should be easy to back up with that vehicle, at least you can see the trailer to know were it going when backing up.

I hope it will be! :cloud9:

With any trailer it becomes second nature to back trailers up. I firmly believe people in spokane need to have a licence to drive a trailer there are some dimwitted trailer drivers here. It's not hard to do it right. I've seen people fail at backing up, don't know when to turn the wheels what direction to turn them. Jack knifes, people trying to so a Sharp u turn. Just take it easy and practice backing up before you take it out. And remember you are 2+ car lenghts long and unable to take turns sharp.

Luckily this trailer is less than a car length (pretty short), so I don't have to take turns too much wider.

Cool trailer. I'd love to have one. If it was me I'd get some chains and make brackets to lock everything down from thieves. I worry a bit about leaving things on my truck when I'm doing a lawn and I'm working in the back yard.
Oh and a heavy duty clutch and the best brake pads you can afford might not be a bad idea if you're pulling it a lot w/ a car.
I bet you're gonna love that ramp

Yeah the ramp is nice and heavy duty, too! :thumbsup:

Nice trailer. I think Im gonna buy 10ft and 16ft long old camper frame with axle to build my own trailer(s).

Sweet! :thumbsup:

What are you hauling on it LMF?

 

[reynoldston]

That is what I pull my trailer with. Toyota Camry. Works out fine for me and a lot cheaper and easier then running a pick up truck. The only problem I have with mine is it is too narrow at 63 in. because I can't get a 60 in. cut mower on it.

What are you hauling on it LMF?

Snowblower, shovels, and ice melt in the winter.

Mower, trimmer, edger, blower, and gas in the other seasons. :thumbsup:

I have that same sized trailer. Mine has the cheapo expanded metal instead of wood. The ramp on mine is real good. The floor is ok but needs wood if heavy things are hauled. I think you have a longer hitch on yours. That is supposed to be better. Mine works ok. But. It bounces up and down a great deal even at very low speeds. That upsets the carbs on one of my lawnmowers and then it will not start for a couple hours. Keep things well strapped down as I have seen a couple nice walk behind mowers bounced over the sides every spring when the lawn racers arrive. One lawntractor bounced off by the gas station and another brand new real nice Cub Cadet came in all bashed up after the hitch came loose from the ball on the way home from Tractor supply. If the roads there get plenty of slush on them like they do here I would keep my blower covered or well lubed as the splatter is going to be pretty bad. Make sure your release handle on your trailer has a pin or bolt through it to prevent it coming open and carry a spare in case you drop that one down a crack in the driveway. Keep the hinge pins greased on your ramp or they will bind up before long and at the most unhandy of times. That is a nice trailer. Now get to work.

That's one of the problems with small trailers is the bounce form lack of weight, and you can't really put trimmer racks on one because they get know support and the trimmers and anything else you put in them takes a beating.
