[QUOTE="scsindust, post: 27961, member: 214"] I surprised nobody mentioned trailer rating! Make sure your trailer is rated to safely hold the weight of the machine. Nothing worse then seeing someone with a lawn trailer trying to haul there machine around. Get a heavy duty trailer and MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKES WORK!!!!!!!!!! I was told that the machine should be attached to the trailer in 4 separate locations (4 corners), to comply with DOT. Usually the 'Bobcat" style trailers are weighted pretty well, since the machine usually only has a few inches of clearance on it to move it around. I found that most of these trailers have surge brakes. I hate surge brakes!! If this is your trailer, make sure they work! Nothing scarier than trying to stop and not being able to. Been there, done that. [/QUOTE]
