    never liked the ROPS now i have a reason

    Had the ROPS up 'cause I was traveling on a public road. Got home and drove straight into my barn with a 7.5' high opening completely forgetting about the ROPS. Took the header completely out, splitting one of the 2x10x16's in half and nearly flipping the tractor backwards.. :rolleyes:

    Chain points in the front, D-rings in the rear. Along with the bunny-ear chain points and D-rings along the sides. Not flat hook or winch strap friendly for sure.

    Whats funny is they list the same trailer in a Standard Frame as being 15lbs lighter with Max Ramps vs the Standups. That doesn't really seem possible, but it is what they list. The I-Beam trailers themselves are heavier but both ramp versions also list as the same weight. The sales reps I...

    There is also a 'Cambered' Truss which would probably suit you better. Gives more clearance along the length: I agree with sistering it into place. Cut off any tails so they sit even and flush on top of the girders, lag bolt them to the 2x6, and then remove the guts of the old trusses.

    Trailer painting

    You guys know that there are small, portable sand blasters for home use? The 10 gal ones are ~$150 + medium and work pretty good. Better than a wire cup at any rate.. No need to send the trailer off to a shop.

    Trailer painting

    Dont do the POR15 or equivalents. You have to be really clean to not have it pop later. And even then a chip will just allow rust to form under. At least in my experience. Its basically a manual Powder Coat (polyester) Agree with the sand blast if you want it to last.
