That trailer still looks brand new and so clean! It's a good thing you don't live in Nebraska where they put brine on the roads every time it snows or sleets. i just bought a Featherlite in September of 2019 and it doesn't look near as good already!
This will be exactly what I'll need when I get a boat to fit in my garage. Half boat storage and half shop. No wheel dollies or calling a couple friends to help push.
They make one that is totally powered by yourself for smaller trailers and they work great and a heck of a lot cheaper than these things. I find I can back a trailer anywhere I need it by using the front mounted receiver hitch on my truck and the receiver hitch only cost $150 VS several thousand for this thing no thanks. Cost more than the trailer.
I would rather spend $2,300 for this than $6,600 for the RVR. There is a lot I could do with $4,300. Unfortunately the tracks make the RVR a lot more useful for moving a towable hydraulic lift around a job site. I wonder if the tracks can be studded like a snowmobile for winter use.
comparing a front hitch to a tug is like comparing a toothbrush to a rake. A hitch front or back and I have both, will not do what a tug does. Trailer Valet is one of the best prices and values in a tug. You, of course, can make your own choice, but the garage doors on the shop I am building are $4,500 each. The tug will save me one door and allow me to build a shop 1000' smaller without giving up functionality. In my situation, $2,200 spent on a tug will save me $64,500.00 Easy choice, but not everyone has the same requirements that I do. The awesome wonder of our world in 2019 is that we have more choices than ever. Smile, it is the most wonderful time to be alive😎
@@TheSmartWoodshop Regardless I'll work with my front hitch and save $2-6k I've never felt the need to try and pull a trailer into a shop with its tongue against a wall, and how do you figure getting that out of there if those fancy tongue jacks fail? Bet ya didn't think of that....
That drive thru sounded great until you described it. Easier to just drive into and stop the truck inside just before the exit door and leave it there. Unhook the trailer if you want to use the truck without it. Unless you have other plans and reasons to do it the way you described.
Whenever it's a video about Ron's trailer, it's a MUST-see. I can't get enough of that eye candy!
Yes, even though I see and work out of the Smart Woodshop daily, I never get tired of looking at it.😎🤙
Thanks for sharing this, Ron! We love all of your videos and value your expert feedback. Happy moving, and excited to see what else you create!
Great to know when buying next home property and no drive through garage! Thanks!
Yes, just the price of a garage door is over 4,000 so the new tug pays for itself twice with that one saving.
Love it.. I have just finished my complete fit out of my mobile wood shop in the new trailer. same size as smart!! This is a very handy tool ron.

Enjoyed the video on something I’ll never use but know people that could utilize this and will recommend...thanks!

I'll buy the old one from ya.
For that price I'll use my pickup with a front mounted hitch receiver...not to mention those things are ridiculously loud.
