Is this trailer a “steal”?

[Hay Dude]

Found a legitimate trailer for sale.

2013 Stephen L Green, Inc.
26,000 GVWR
5,500 Empty weight
8’ wide deck over
19’ flat deck
6’ beaver tail
clean title
seller will include a new PA state inspection sticker

$4,000

I think it looks pretty good and honestly a 9 year old trailer this large for $4,000 is darn near impossible to find. I’m not a big fan of the triple 7 axle configuration, but new this trailer would be over $12,000

I noticed that trailer for sale. Not far away either. I was actually thinking about it but I can't justify it.

As far as being a steal...had a friend that had a triple axle and said it turned tough and scrubbed fairly severe in tighter turns. Pulled well going straight though.

Good deal if you have something to pull it with. Pintle hitch works great if you have a large truck. Not so great with a pick up. Triple axle eats tires pretty bad until you learn NOT to turn too sharp if can help it.

Well, if the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania says its OK, who am I to argue?

Even though I don't care for triple axle trailers, I can't see how you could go wrong at that price, it would already be sold around here.

I cant see the ramps or the ass-end of the trailer. Emailed seller for more pics.

Even with the con's you can't beat the price. I am not a fan of the reverse outer rail. There is never enough tie downs like a stake pocket, pipe spool, rub rail combo. It for sure is set up for a large dump truck, it will be hitch heavy.

Huh! You think it’ll be hitch heavy? I was thinking it wouldnt be so much because of extra front axle….

I am assuming you can't load the tail. If you can, then yes, it will be fine. If not, then it will have about 14' in front of axle center.

Why wouldn’t you be able to load the tail? Because of the slant?
