    2 parts used oil 1 part diesel and there are no down sides as long as you can let it set in the sun a few days to soak in and dry prior to use

    I do 2:1 ratio of used motor oil and diesel fuel. Put it in a pump up sprayer and spray it all over the deck. I do it 1x a year but could probably do it less often. My trailer is 5 years old and the wood looks brand new.

    I started a trailer rental business here in western Ohio after watching some of your videos (subscriber since 2020). Started off with a 6x12 utility trailer. Have been pushing it harder the last 6 weeks or so and have had 4 rentals so far.

      Hows the income been so far? Surprising? or about what you expected

      @ it’s ok so far. I live in a small town and we’re in to winter now. I have the cheapest rate in the area. I expect it to be pretty decent in the spring time. We will see!

    Make sure to get reflector tape and put it along the side of the frame and back of the trailer

    Mount a receiver hitch to that plate so you can remove the winch if they dont want to pay for it. Use an sb connector for the battery connection. Easy peasy

    I know that by the time this video airs, you have probably already purchased a winch, but if not, I would highly recommend the badlands winch from Harbor freight with the Poly rope, they are actually really high quality.

    it's an old trick to sealing wood whether it's fence slats or traier deckin you just need to put a lil diesel fuel in the oil you use and mux it up well im the 4th generation keeping the family tradition of using it and we've never have any issues.. Jasco also makes a good sealer that gives you about the same color so in a pinch u can touch up or use Jasco's product

    They used to soak phone poles in creosote and still do on rail road ties, and those are buried in dirt. Soaking them in oil should add some life.

    Used motor oil will attract dust for months. I did it once. Never again. Also very slippery when wet

    Any chance you had time to put together that packet with the trailer rental contract that you use and some of the pricing guides you were talking about in your last rental video? Would greatly appreciate that if you've got it.

    The winch seems like more interest and MORE liability.

    dont charge $30 for a winch rental.. if anything jack up the rental price like $5 whether they use the winch or not, i dont think no one will notice the $5 markup on trailer rental
