Default My new trailer!

Okay, so I had some where around 1500-2000 dollars to buy a new trailer, well I looked all over craigslist and found plenty I liked, enclosed and open landscaping trailers, tandem axles and all too. However, no one wanted to sit there and email, text or call me back today or this morning, So I found this old guy who is a dealer for this place, sells them out on his farm, (much closer to where I live unlike the other ones over 2 hours more to drive one way) and went out to look at them. Well, I bought one while I was there since it was Brand new with a year warrenty and all the jazz included. I paid 1075.00 with my taxes/tag included. I think I got a pretty good deal for a 5.5 x 10ft trailer. I'm not to happy that it wasn't tandem axle but I didn't want to wait for them to order/ship it.

Sounds like a fair price depending on the specs.

Gives me hope that I can replace my 5x8 for around that price.
I'm going to get a 10, or 12' long trailer next.

The wood floor is also something I want next time around. It gives you a better way to lash things down I think.

The pressure treated trailer deck is good. It stands up well. Most landscape trailers in my neck of the woods have pt decks.

Default Looks great

Great looking trailer and super deal. I wouldn't worry about not having tandem. Mowers and all the other equipment in a ten foot trailer. Single axle usually does the trick. Congrats
