Hi absrio, I tell you what I learned from 40yrs of using trailers. I always was trading up to the next one to handle my current needs. Had I just bought the correct trailer the first time, I would have still owned it. As it is I have 3 trailers now, 2 of which can't handle my current needs and my new baby, a 27ft+5ft, 10k Dexter dual tandums, 12" 19# I-beam, 3" channel on 16" centers, Bulldog GN & landing gear, new in June 05 $6400 out the door. If you would buy a decent 20ft on the deck, 16" tires, and a Bulldog GN, you would then have a trailer that would last you a very long time and pull extremely well and you would spend Less money in the long run. I see a couple problems with the trailer your wanting to buy. 1) NO 16" tires!!!!!! This is a huge one as good 15" trailer tries are very dificult to come by. Cooper & Goodyear are the only ones building good 15" trailer tires. However, there's several companys making great 16" tires. 2) A Fuller coupler. A cheap made spring assist ball lock. The top of the line is Bulldog made by the HammerBlow company. A Bulldog coupler is way over built for it's weight rating and will be difficult to wear out. 3) Probably a Fuller tongue jack. Again not top quality. Bulldog again builds a great quality tongue jack. I personally would do some research of the Texas trailer builders in the Dallas area and in the Ok City,OK area. Them boys build some great trailers, cheaper than I can buy materials and shipping "was" only running $400 a trailer. T_Bone

Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
