- As a trailer is an important support tool for many gardeners, I thought I would bring you a review of the new box trailer I purchased a few months ago...
The trailer was purchased from: www.tassietrailers.com/

What a great review and loads of little tips and things to think about that I normally wouldn't have when looking for a trailer. Many thanks for taking the time to share with us.
Another quality video. Thankyou
Good info! Thanks again. PS That flower bed looks great too.
That does look like a fab trailer, love the shade cloth so many people don’t consider the wind factor on carrying loose material. If I had the need I’d certainly consider buying this one. Thank you
Great review thanks love seeing quality products.
Good video & a great trailer !
Looks to be a good product mate. My old 6x4 is getting to the end of its life so I might consider one of these when we move down to tassie in November. Thanks for the video. Cheers, Andy
The full length flat fenders look good, double as a step and handy for adding storage options down the track if required. Downside being materials such as sand, gravel etc are a PIA to clear out (ask me how I know). Lastly most of these trailers utilise ungalvanised hubs, springs and axle/s which some what defeats the purpose of a gal trailer. 99% of gal trailers in Aus are manufactured in China or Thailand
I’ve got a similar 8x5 tandem axle unit with an extra long 1.9m drawbar.
I bought 8x5 with cage from Stonegate. The floors on them are quite buckled from the welding and hot dip galvanizing and only being 2.5mm thick. The drop down tail gate at the front was perfect for the 3m gyprock sheets I had to pick up. The upright spare wheel bracket stopped them from sliding forward and I was able to close the back one. Will see how it goes long term.
Looks exactly like my "Stonegate" branded trailer, which is a chinese import. Down to the same latches, jockey wheel and way that the cage is connected etc.
I was just looking at Stonegate after watching this video. They’re Chinese? Ok, bugger that then.
Would you recomend a Stonegate trailer? I am just about to purchase one
You will see this trailer at many dealers all over the country... definitely a Chinese import.
Good video! After purchasing a property over a year ago, the previous owner left a wonky cargo trailer (we're in the US, so size is probably 8 ft. x 4 ft./ 2.44m x 1.22m ???). We don't need it as a cargo but my husband wants to convert it to a flatbed. You made some good points in your demo of your own trailer. Shade cloth...that was clever. Thanks for the info. It is really helpful.
trailers in Oz are in feet, 5b3 6b4 7b5 8b5 etc
@@haha5571 - oh, OK.
@@haha5571 It's odd isn't it, that occasionally you see something that has defied metrication, even after 50 years?
@@ErgonBill rolls off the tongue easy I guess
Thankyou for your review. I am buying this trailer this week
I wouldn't it's not fitted with brakes can only haul 300 kilos unlike braked which is 1 tonne
@@Peter-ob6ue Perfect for my use and rego is $100 cheaper per year.😎
Having recently built my self a trailer found this interesting i live about 100 or so klm inland from you in Tassi in the highlands .i made mine 7x5 foot single axle and fitted it up with brakes operated by cable . I made a crate for it like yours bolted on it has a capicty of 1.5 cubic metes
Thank you so much so useful review, I am in Vic looking to buy one from a local supplier
Great vid. Tnx
Thanks 🙏🏼
Galvanised is always better. Nice vid.
Did you end getting around to making the cage more easier to remove instead of being bolted down?
Yes, I used 6 lynch pins through the bolt holes to centre it and 4 over center fasteners to hold it down tight. Goes on/off in a couple of minutes and without tools.
Chinese made trailer. Hope it lasts.
It's not a particularly good trailer it's not fitted with brakes, therefore the maximum load for that trailer is only 300 kilograms on the other hand a braked single axle can carry 1 tonne..
Why not a 7X5 or 7X6? a 7X4 is very limited
Maximum legal unbreaked weight is 750kg. Trailer weight is 220kg, hence load weight is 530kg. Larger trailer means more weight and less load...unless breaked. So personal choice and needs apply.
@@homesteading No that's incorrect you are simply wrong, you can only haul 300 kilograms on an unbraked trailer. When a manufacturer says that an unbraked trailer has a rating of 750 kilograms they are misleading you! You must take into account the mass of the single axle un braked trailer which is around 300 to 450 kilograms then add that to the mass of a maximum load which is 300 kilograms. In addition state laws kick in and in Australia it's only 600 kilograms on the mainland maximum unbraked towing mass which INCLUDES THE WEIGHT OF YOUR TRAILER!. Therefore as I afore mentioned you can only legally and safely haul between 250-300 kilograms.
On the other hand a single axle heavy duty braked trailer is allowed a total mass of 1350 kilograms which translates to roughly 1000 kilograms payload mass after subtracting the mass of the trailer 😀
If it has a GVM of only 750kg it's certainly not the ultimate trailer - far from it.
