Brakes needed depends on your state or countries laws- and Scotland as part of picky UK means likely to need them. Locally in Wisconsin I can go up to 3000 pounds without license plate or brakes-- but I have a license plate and "homemade" title for my little sort of covered wagon trailer because Illinois and Iowa where I go at times wants the plates and one has a 1000 pound upper limit for no brakes- which I dont have as little trailer is under 1000 pounds unless I squeeze in a couple motors. My base floor size is about 6 by 6.5 foot with insed fender wells reducing center to 44 inchs- which will hold a standard single mattress at 39 and 42 inchs. Front truncated triangle nose section extends extra 22 or so inchs,I can haul a standard 4x8 plywood sheet or 8 of them and fit inside under hoops-10 foot plastic 3/4 inch piping/tubing. I use rear opening and a couple front/side openings, can pull out mattress quick for utility hauling. top cover is simple cotton drop cloths sewed to fit hoops and center brace 2x4 with 7/8 hole drilled about every 18 inchs inspired by bender tent and a 10x10 plastic tarp over it for rain,etc. Space front and back of fender wells hold cooking gear, charcoal, coolers when mattress is in center and going camping. It has had homeless guy sleeping in it a week or so last year, I use it a couple times for camping but used it more for hauling furniture, lumber, scooter around town. Oak flooring and sides about 1 foot high with tiedowns and brackets for the hoops. I have a not quite completed 10 foot long version that is being used for furniture hauling/storage by some friends- same basic 10 foot hoops and cotton sheet, rear entry but this has a 3.5 foot right side front side opening clamshell door. Sides are 2 boards high instead of single board so about 20 inchs- this one was used to haul 2 riding mowers, snowblower and 2 push mowers for a houshold move, then got couch, recliner, several box"s kitchen stuff- most of which sat under cover over last winter under hooped tarp. the front section by side door just fits a double box spring and mattress at 48 inch wide set cross ways, leave about 6 foot of cargo space then in center/back of inside fender wells. Fun projects to make- got frames/wheels cheap from salvage yard about $25.00 and $35.00 dollars to start. RN.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
