Message: <blockquote data-quote="vinito" data-source="post: 93319" data-attributes="member: 12954">I had funds earmarked to buy a new tilt trailer but I kept checking out craigslist for local deals. Yesterday this one came up and I just picked it up this morning:<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/trailer1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/trailer1.jpg" alt=" photo trailer1.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>It's a hacked 2-horse trailer and it looks a little better in person than the picture shows for some reason. It has electric brakes which have to be re-wired and checked out, but he bought a new harness for it which came with it. It's a nice heavy-duty one. So is may just be a little time wiring it back up and at worst it could be a bit of brake work which should be easy. It also has very few tie-down points and I always liked having a bunch of those, so I'll just add some. Both of these fixes should be very easy and quick. I liked the idea of just buying a new trailer with all the details I wanted made-to-order, but this one was 6 times cheaper. Plus since the cost of the loader was actually less than the new trailer would have been, it seemed out of balance or something. This isn't the tilt trailer I desired, but it sits very low so I think the ramps will be just fine. It will still haul over 5K and the width is a little narrower than yer "standard" tandem axle which makes it about perfect for my machine.So for a few hundred instead of $2.5K, I was able to add another link in the chain.I think it will be just fine. It's coming together...Whadda ya think?</blockquote>
