Buying a trailer Friday, opinions?

Plus, a full deck can also haul other stuff. You'd be surprised how handy that can become.

i was about to say the same....mulch or dump runs, etc.

PS - get LED lights. Totally worth it. Trust me.

LED lights come standard:

Thanks, yeah I figured I could save some good money by buying used, but doesnt make sense to wait around for one if I have to rent at a cost of 200 bucks for the 2 weekends ill be tracking in the next month.

How will I know if a trtailer is "solidy" built.

It's more of a visual thing and a "gut" thing. Look for a beam that splits the front triangle of the tongue, look for gusseted joints, etc. With my weak trailer, I could bounce (hit a harmonic with your bounce rhythm) on a back corner, and the whole trailer would wobble about the diagonal intersection from the back/left to front/right (for example). With my new trailer, it doesn't affect it nearly as much.

Chris Snobeck has one of the trailers from Gainesville. Worked pretty well for him.

Worked pretty well? lol just giving you shit. Thanks for the advice guys and keep em coming, obviosuly I havent bought it yet so I like every opinion good or not, I like being a semi-informed buyer instead of the numbnut that I usually am.
