Your towing rigs and trailers

That dump trailer is a real find. Put good tires on it and call me if you decide you don't need it.

Yeah, sixdogs, You'd better get another trailer, that one is too nice to get dusty.
Cheers,
Mike

Picked up my 43' B from my storage barn. Im going to start fixing it up now.

Nice looking B. Mine was a 1949. Needed a brake job when I bought it 5 years ago. Otherwise just cleaned the radiator ventilation vanes to free up the open/close control and it was good to go.

Good luck on your restoration project.

How true. I've never owned a new trailer. That's the downside of new equipment.

Funny, I first saw your words before your picture populated. I was shocked at cummins and Kubota. Anyhow, Nice tractor and truck. However, take those items out and look at the background. You seem to have an extremely peaceful place. Picture says a thousand words there ...

Nice looking setup and what a great Kubota. Can you tell me how long is your trailer is and what brand is it?

Hi SixDogs and everyone who dropped a compliment or advise ...Thank You All. I bought the trailer used from a golf course owner. It's a 2005 Hurst/7,000gvw. My son and I completely stripped, painted, new brakes, bearing buddies, complete wiring with terminal box/new breakaway set-up, changed it from 6 way to 7 all wiring soldiered and placed inside a plastic conduit for protection. We also redid the lighting and reflective striping. My son and I also modded the frame deck cross rails so we could bolt our new PT deck without using self-tapping screws into the factory cross members members. That's why you see the 1/8" x 2" steel flat bar across the deck. Dimensions are deck, flat 16' with 2' extended dove tail.

You know, woodskiff, that's really the best way to own a trailer. You know 100% what went into it and have the satisfaction of rebuilding it correctly and using the quality of flooring and wiring/lights that you wanted. It's perfect and the bearing buddies a nice touch. If you want it to, it will last a lifetime.



Here's a pic of my 16 ft, 7000 lb trailer that I built (20 years ago) just so I could know what went into it and have the quality I desired. It has bearing buddies too and got four new trailer tires last year. I might sell it if I could figure out how much to ask for it. Anyone with any ideas on price?
