The jack foot is usually optional. You can use it like it is or purchase a foot or a pivoting wheel that fits there with a locking pin at Tractor Supply, Walmart, Harbor Freight etc.
2600 bucks good price, I just checked my local TSC They want 3700 bucks now. Oh well inflation It is what it is, right.😕 How has it turned out for you? I'm planning to do a DIY camper. Do you recommend bolting down the deck for a camper application? Thanks for sharing
I Thompsons water sealed mine twice since I've had mine. I try to do it ever year. Me and you almost have the same truck I got a 1995 super cab f150 with 5.0. With automatic transmission 👍
nice trailer. I should've bought this one, but my tractor supply here in NC didn't have one at the time and I didn't want to wait for shipment. I did buy a 6X8 from tractor supply. They had their own notary. So I purchased the one day and took the trailer home. I went back the next morning to pickup the notary paperwork. From there, went straight to the DMV to register and title the trailer. I went with the multi year plate just so i don't have ever register it ever again!!!
I been looking at this trailer at my local Tractor Supply here in West Michigan. It is priced at $3499.99 here. Sounds like a road trip might be in my near future.
It looks like they all have gone up in price due to the labor and steel price increases. The trailers at the tractor supply in Grove City are also $3499.
I have a similar trailer. I had to remove the jack and put a foldable jack on because i could not lower my tailgate on my truck with the trailer attached.
Used trailers still hold their value. As long as they are taken care of. I was selling my old car hauler i bought it for $15,000. A guy told me he would give me $10,000. I laughed at him. I told him just go buy a new one. Two days later he came back asking if i was still interest. I was. He asked what i would sell iy for? I said $15,000 he bought it for $15,000. I had just replaced the planks last year with red oak 2x10s New tires. I think he got a bargain.
Small world! I've been to Greenville a few times. It's a nice town. It's on the way to pymatuning. My dad would buy jeep parts from a dealer up there. I did a lot of upgrading so far to the trailer and it hauls the bobcat around nicely.
I paid $2400 in south central Pa a little over a year ago and now they are $3999. Great quality trailer. Only issue I had was I had to re paint it but it’s not like they don’t get scratched up anyways.
I can't believe how much the price has gone up. I bought mine at the right time and so did you. It's a great trailer with good bones. I added a lot of accessories to mine which turned it into a really nice trailer.
Yeah the lack of paint was disappointing, but I got it all painted up/accessorized and look great in this video: th-cam.com/video/meAPFS3-8MQ/w-d-xo.html
Dude I was literally looking at one of these when I was buying feed and bar oil Monday. Thanks for putting up a video I am definitely leaning towards grabbing one even more now Edit: Also dude is that a golf green behind you?
I got one last month just needed it to get my icon toolbox because shipper kept telling me they couldn’t ship it… after three months I was like screw it I’ll come pick it up then got a toro titan max from tractor supply
In my opinion you better tighten your equalizers up or you going to have issues with the axles and the tires if you don't take care of tightening those bolts up first before you even use it
If the trailer is a good quality build, you got an excellent deal. Just for comparison, smaller good condition used 3500 lb MGVW trailers with a loading ramp in my area are expensive. A seller wants $2k for his 5x10 Another wants $2650 for a 7½ x 12 ft. Another is asking $2400 for a 6 x 9 ft. Still another wants $3800 for a 7 x 10. None have any improvements, still basic trailer from manufacturer.
It seems pretty good for the price. That's what I mean, the used ones are almost as much as a brand new one that hasn't been over loaded etc. I did add quite a few things to this trailer so now it's fully equipped. It turned out really nice. More videos to come.
I bought the same trailer from tractor supply in Texas and they did all the paperwork in house I didn't have to go see a notary... But I did have to take the certificate of origin to the tax office and they gave me a title I had to pay a $100
It's rated for 5500 lbs. I would haul that with this trailer. It hauls my Bobcat 320 without any issues, which weighs close to 4000 lbs. The gate feels light duty, though. I like the legnth of this trailer. It's not too long. Thanks for watching.
@@Lanninglongarmmowing I been looking for months waiting for the perfect deal on trailers and the deal just hasn’t came lol so I said whatever’s I’m buying a new one before the price continues to go up even higher
@@daniels3318 Yeah used trailers are almost the cost of a new one here as well. I was in the same boat as you. You are making the right decision. It's a well built budget trailer for a budget price. Mine pulls great.
Yes, I think I made this in June of 2021. I am really behind editing and posting videos. It takes some time to edit. I'm sorry. We do have quite a lot of snow here at the moment.
Vold li k! We bought one and sithin A month leF springs broke and Carryon and trailer supply reps were. Awful! Paid o999.99 for trailer and because got no hp paid Another 500.00$ to have it properly welded
You should be about to handle 7000 lbs with no problem with your 1500. They are rated 10,000. Should handle most frontend loaders. Excavator is nothing for an 1500.
You are correct. I was able to find my trucks towing capacity which is around 7500. I'm not used to how different it handles when towing. It's an entirely different truck.
It depends on the motor, transmission, axle gearing, suspension, cab, bed, and cooling package. My truck has the V8 5.0 motor, E4OD transmission, 2WD, transmission cooler, upgraded suspension, single cab, and short bed. I'm not sure what the axle ratio is though.
So the way you describing it it was on your truck it wasn't on that trailer yeah as a builder myself we run into that all the time but we pull out a little box and hook it into our box and I can stand there and argue with them all day and they'll tell you it's not on their truck until I pull out a little box and then they start saying well maybe so it might be on my truck so we know the drill how customers do we know
Yes, it is rated to haul 5500 lbs so pretty much anything that weighs 5549 lbs or less is good to go as far as I know. The mini I have weighs around 4000 lbs and it handles it pretty good. My truck sure notices it back there though. Need to upgrade that next.
want never run into top rail at all with stake pocket with chain or strap , if u know how to load equipment up / the way u are talking about your trailer , u don't know how to haul any thing on your trailer !
No trying to ruin your excitement but that things quality looks terrible. The paint and welds look awful. Their quality control is shit. I checked a few out at the TSC by me and everything was scratched, rusted, and chipped on it!

Everything is alot easier down there. Hope you like it. I still like mine.

Hum, I can lower the tailgate on my truck with it attached. That's weird.
Top rails are added after the stake pockets as a after thought. The brake wiring is a real problem waiting to happen.

that'd f'n ridiculous! FJB!
bob cat 320 mini excavator with out thumb 3500 ?
For a budget price expect a lot of fit and finish issues.
Yeah I hear ya. It's tough finding a trailer in Pa. Mike Morgan goes to Ohio to buy his trailers. I may do that next time.
I'm with you on the rust, it's very disappointing. But with your attitude that trailer will look like new in two weeks
Yeah the lack of paint was disappointing, but I got it all painted up/accessorized and look great in this video: th-cam.com/video/meAPFS3-8MQ/w-d-xo.html
How were you able to get it so cheap? Website has it listed at $3,499?
I bought this around June of 2020, I think it was. It was before the price of steel went up.
Now the price is almost 4 grand ! $3995!!
Dude I was literally looking at one of these when I was buying feed and bar oil Monday. Thanks for putting up a video I am definitely leaning towards grabbing one even more now
Edit: Also dude is that a golf green behind you?
You are welcome. It's a great well made budget trailer. I added a lot more things to mine. It's changed a lot since this video. More videos to come.

Dan, I would've sold you my 5x12 trailer with 3500# axle for 1500. Is 3yrs old this spring.
I never heard of fluid filming, what is it?
It's a biodegradable lanolin based oil from sheep hair. It's a great rust proofing product.
I bought the same trailer from tractor supply in Texas and they did all the paperwork in house I didn't have to go see a notary... But I did have to take the certificate of origin to the tax office and they gave me a title I had to pay a $100
You can buy a 6x12 single axle with a wood floor for $1900 in Georgia
That gate ain't going hold that excavator guaranteed it's not strong enough and by the way I do build these so I know
The Dom is 1-21 so it had a whole year to rust outside
Oh nice. At least it wasn't driven in the salt.
My father wants to buy one to haul a 4,500lb skid steer. Anyone have any opinions on this. I think the trailer is too light.
It's rated for 5500 lbs. I would haul that with this trailer. It hauls my Bobcat 320 without any issues, which weighs close to 4000 lbs. The gate feels light duty, though. I like the legnth of this trailer. It's not too long. Thanks for watching.

Same trailer today is 3500 now with no financing increase for interest
They have gone up in price for sure. I've heard some people say they are getting close to $4000 at some stores.
Was this made in Aug ? Lol I'd think u would be in 2 feet of snow
Yes, I think I made this in June of 2021. I am really behind editing and posting videos. It takes some time to edit. I'm sorry. We do have quite a lot of snow here at the moment.
Just for reference I just bought this trailer yesterday, $3499. It's gone up a little
Unfortunately, they have gone up quite a bit. Supply chain problems, rising cost of materials, and inflation.
your trailer or all of this type trailer are cheap made and very high price trailer to what u got , should be better made trailer , for sure ?
Vold li k! We bought one and sithin A month leF springs broke and Carryon and trailer supply reps were. Awful! Paid o999.99 for trailer and because got no hp paid Another 500.00$ to have it properly welded
With the rust it's a leftover so that's why the price was that and the rust
Good point, but I think all of the tandems were like this one. That's how they are.

Dude if you just bought that the same trailer goes for $3,499 here in TN you sole that thing
This was before the price of steel went up. I'm sorry.
Can you really put 5500 lbs on it without it breaking?
You think you can put a 5200 lbs skid steer on it?
Yes, it is rated to haul 5500 lbs so pretty much anything that weighs 5549 lbs or less is good to go as far as I know. The mini I have weighs around 4000 lbs and it handles it pretty good. My truck sure notices it back there though. Need to upgrade that next.
Don't have to register in Tennessee
The jack doesn’t come with the foot. You need to purchase it separately 🙄
I wondered why it wasn't there. I ended up purchasing an electric jack, and it's awesome. No more cranking. Just press a button.
@@Lanninglongarmmowing nice 👍 👍
@@dslife1 Thank you.
Less than $200 in interest over 3 years. Very affordable.
Yes, you are correct, except these trailer are now pushing $4000, not the 2500ish that I spent.
@@Lanninglongarmmowing that's crazy inflation.
@brich2929 Yeah, it sure is. I bought this trailer at a good time.
Can you haul a small car on it
Yeah, as long as it fits. I've often thought about putting my car on it and getting all three inspected at once to save time.
Just got a Car mate 6x10 for $2500.
your latch are inside very danger loading tractor up or zero turn , your tires might hit latch put hole in tires
you can look at the trailer with self-lifting in my TH-cam channel.
Holy shit I went to bmv with the trailer 2 years was only $50
Indiana
In Nevada, I want to let everyone know a crazy Crack guy name Carlos missed up everyone trailer, and carry on trailer people refuse to fired that guy
How did he mess up the trailers?
u need to buy u used trailer , if u going go thru every thing on the new trailer jusy waste your money , u think , young man ?
You get what you pay for, just sayin'.
That is true but I'm working with a very limited budget right now. It's about the same price as a used one of the same size too.
