Bought this 6’x16’ tilt trailer off member here. Thought it would work for my needs, but when I got it home, was a no go as my luck goes. The axle was too far back and when I loaded my Side by side, there was zero tongue weight. So I figured I would lengthen it 18” and make it a non tilt trailer to make it work. Added the 18”, this lead to new boards, then painting and new wiring and lights. That led to some new wheels and hubs. I sold my 23 year old 5 x 8 trailer for more than I paid for it and ended up with a trailer that can haul my mower and side by side for a few hundred bucks.
The start. Removed this to add 18”.

That is to keep all the prying eyes from seeing all the good stuff (junk) in the rest of the shop..lol

Actually I use in the winter to separate the other two bays when I am heating it. Slacking on getting it rolled up this year as you have noticed. :laughing:
