I have to HP trailers, a 14 ft dump and a 18ft car hauler. By far the best built I have owned and I drove from western Pa to Iowa to get them and still SAVED over 1500.00 including the trip to go get them vs anyone local. Great trailers!
I want to get a 22 foot split trailer. Diamond C. I don't know what the split trailer will feel like loading and unloading tractor. Will check out your videos. 👍🏽🙂
Hey David, sorry I didn’t get back to you right away. So far the trailer has been awesome! No complaints whatsoever. Built strong and quality. This trailer was around $6200 out the door with options and spare tire included.
just found your video and got really interested in Hull Porter trailers. you might know, I live in Florida and when I called them, they were closing down Florida location and taking inventory back to Iowa. I am really contemplating making the trip which is about 20 hours to get the trailer I want at a fair price. I am looking at the E/T full tilt, may I ask why you chose the partial tilt over the full tilt? Or is that gravity vs electric tilt?
Hey Matty, Thanks for watching! I forgot they had that location in Florida for a couple years! As far as E/T vs Split deck gravity tilt, it really just depends what you plan on using you trailer. We primarily use ours for hauling construction equipment and our skid loader, so the gravity tilt works well as you can load and unload the machine with one person. You also have room in the front of the trailer to keep a tool box or fuel tank strapped down and it doesn't tilt with trailer. If you plan on hauling cars or things of that nature, the E/T model would work great IMO. The only thing we aren't impressed with on our trailer is the paint job. We paid additional for a custom color and living in the salt belt, after one winter it has a excessive amount of surface rust on it. It looks like they didn't prime the metal prior to painting so that would be something I would ask about. Living in Florida you should be fine though. Cheers!
Hey Fred, the paint is holding up well in most places, but with the somewhat frequent gravel travel that we partake in with doing construction, some areas have had the paint chip off quite a bit and some surface rust has started already with winter salt/brine mix that Iowa uses. We will be touching it up over the winter. Not sure if other manufactures do a different painting process that may hold up to the abuse better or not. Thanks for the comment!

How is the paint holding up from this manufacturer? I am looking at this brand.

2 years on mine, holding up pretty well. Not flaking off like cheap ones
@@lotsobear1955 That's good to hear!
About how heavy is that trailer. Every scale is empty
This configuration is 3100 lbs. I have not verified that personally, but that is what the title says. Hope this helps!
You need better havy duty hich pal
This one has been working good so far. I’ll keep that in mind though!
Someone stole my 20 ft on the 4th I to but hurt cuz you can’t get them anymore my way
That isn't good! Hopefully you can recover your trailer! Did they close Florida location?
