It took two years but I finally did it...

[MASTERMOWER]

Finally buying a larger trailer. Found a good deal on what I feel will make a good trailer for mowers and related crap. Paid bout $2k. Brakes on both axles, treated decking, new 6 lug rims/tires, breakaway switch, etc....hard to find for the price. I'll be picking it up soon. Thinking I'll opt for the radial tire upgrade. These cheap bias trailer tires never last long with daily use.

Have you tried ebay?

[Spoiled]

Yeah, no go there either...i guess i will end up trying to fab something up to keep the shroud down and tight.

looks ok. Tongue looks thin (might just be pic) and I can see those metal sides getting destroyed fast, unless they are nice and thick. Go bigger than 16ft, you never know when you'll need the space. The tire upgrade is good. I bought a new 20ft, end of June, and the rear tires have been shot for nearly a month.

Picked it up today. Looks pretty good. I didn't want anything longer than 16', will be challenging enough to park in some areas on town as it is. It is more than enough to haul what I need it to haul. Keep in mind stand-on mowers don't take the space conventional midmount ztrs do. In reality, this trailer is overkill for a majority of the grass cutting season for me. :alien::alien::alien:

The durability of the sides will show in time. Gotta note the sides are made of 12 guage high-tensile steel.....not mild steel, makes a difference. This is a mowing trailer, not for hauling landscaping crap, skid steers, or automobiles. We'll see how it pans out.

Towed very nice to Poverty. Couldn't even tell it was behind me (but it was unloaded). I'll get my own pictures up soon. :alien::alien::alien:

let us know how those J-hooks hold up after a good season

Yeah, we shall see. I'd think it really depends if you have **** slamming against the ramp. :alien::alien::alien:

I'm just wondering how they'll hold up. Never seen em before. How large are they?

Large enough I'd think. But I saw a trailer which uses the same concept which had them braced, kinda has me worried. Like I said, unless you have equipment slamming into the ramp, they should hold up just fine. :alien:

I dunno if I mentioned it in this thread yet, but this trailer is manufactured by Hull Trailers in Iowa. This is a family business, name of Hull. Previously the Hull family started and ran H&H trailers (pretty common higher-end trailer you'll find around here). Well, that business went bankrupt, I'd guess a victim to their tremendous growth. So they sold that business and all, then formed Hull Trailers, just limiting themselves to manufacturing a small variety of trailers (unlike the H&H brand). I'd like to think if they used it on this trailer, (same as an H&H really), then it must be proven to hold up well. :alien::alien::alien:
