*** Need Advice about Trailer for hauling? ... Could it be tractors!! ***

Info:
I do NOT have a CDL. Have very little $$$. ($ on trailer = Less $ on tractor)
Will pull trailer with Chevy 350 engine, 3/4 ton pick-up. (It is literally older than I am)
Will be in mountains quite a bit, and may travel many miles.
Will use trailer to haul cars, pick ups, Tractors, implements, etc.

What I'm considering:

Option 1:
Found a trailer, 16 foot, steel, tandem wheels, bumper hitch (pull it on bumper), has brakes, 80 inches wide. Problem is that it seems a bit high off of the ground, no winch, (But maybe the wife would ride on top? I'll deny saying that.) and is $1500.

Option 2:
Is to buy a welder and start building one. But I don't think that I'll save all that much $$$.

What do you think?:
Would appreciate any insight from those who have gone down this road before. Thanks in advance for the input.

Where are you at? I saw one in a salvage yard the other day when I was looking for parts. About the size for a 3/4 ton pickup. Maybe 16" tires maybe 20", I didn't pay much attention.

Get a Class III Frame Mount hitch, I'd never haul anything bigger than a wheelbarrow with a bumper mount.

Get a Quick Mount winch. These are designed to mount into a standard 2" Reese Hitch receiver. I welded a receiver on the tongue of my trailer and ran a quick-detach cable out the back of my truck. Wicked handy for winching things up on the trailer. Ramsay makes a nice one, 4500 pounds straight line pull for about $450. It also mounts to my hitch reciever on the back of the truck, and I welded another one to the plow gear on the front of my truck. Very versatile, worth every penny.

Get or build a decent set of ramps. If the ramps need to be very long (say, over 6 feet) to keep the approach angle reasonable, put "feet" in the middle to avoid excessive ramp flex.

Put jacks or stabilizers on the rear of the trailer to keep it from squatting when loading heavy gear.

I can email you pictures of the suggested mods if you need more detail.

option 1; Rent but it's always a pain

option 2; Buy hope you find what you want

option 3; Build. Thats what we did. 20 foot two heavy duty 6,000 lbs axles. yes there is a difference between 6,000 and heavy duty 6,000. Brakes on both axles, 16.5'' tires-3150 load range e, tilt bed yes tilt bed with removable fenders to gain us a few more inches in case we have a little to wide of load to go between. wood floor. bumper pull but real easy to convert when time. Pull with my van 77 ford 3/4 ton 460 4x4. Trailer weighs 2,850 put model D and Model A John Deere on at the same time. weigh about 19,000 fully loaded. Have 2,300 invested plus time. won't find another one like it. And not just saying that. Got what I want and am not dissappointed one bit. So it's up to you how much do you want to put in and how much do you expect out?
