10K trailer - Gator?

[cathy liebchen]

Well, I made a deal this evening at $4750 out the door. The only other thing I have to pay is the license fee, which is $115 at my county clerk's office. So, a total of $4865 for the 14k Gator. I am very pleased with the deal! I actually got a quote from a Gator for the same trailer and he came in at $5262 once it is all said and done. They do have a deal going where you get a spare tire and mount for free, which is a $200 value, but it still wasn't worth it to drive four hours round trip.

Good call to go with the 14k. That price is right on what a Big Tex costs here, $4500 and $70 for a permanent tag

Well, here she is! The dealer said a couple of wires had been crossed and it was an easy fix. Turn signals worked, lights worked, brake controller worked, everything is good! She is now home in the barn and will get ready for her first light load of hauling square bales this weekend.

I’m going to adjust the coupler so she will ride a little more level, but other than that she is ready to go.

No tie downs? This pic might get reposted in the "Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong" thread.
It looks like a nice trailer!

Yeah..... I cannot see any "D" rings, or stake pockets in that picture.
Are there some?

Haha lets keep that from happening! There are stake pockets all the way around. I think you can't see them because of the angle that I took the picture at. i'm going to get some D rings that I can add in to the stake pockets.

Here’s a photo where you can see them better. The boss approves of the new trailer!

I have a 14K trailer by "Quality Steel & Aluminum"

I'm looking at tilt-decks and one of dealers that's a little farther away has a QSA for a competitive price. Are you happy with the quality/construction on yours?
