Don-Wi , I checked my business records, thank God I have them on a computer.
In 2011 I purchased a very well built new 10k dump trailer from a place in Elkart, In for $4100. That includes 7% sales tax and a spare tire $125. I found it on ebay. Everyone who sees it wish they had one built that good.
In 2011 I purchased a new 14k, sure track 18+2 ft implement trailer from DETRO trailer for $3638 out the door. That includes 7% sales tax, $200 spare tire and $75 for helper springs to lift ramps. Best $75 I've ever spent. Only negative I have to say, sure track your ramps SUCK. I looked at a corn pro trailer, they know how to put knees on a ramp, sure track doesn't. I took a grinder with a cutoff wheel, removed the knees and made my own.
So, if you are looking to buy an implement trailer, study the difference in ramp design.
I wished I had purchased a lower profile trailer. I might even consider a 10k, all steel bed, 18 or 20 ft car trailer, no dove tail which you can't stack anything on, if the distance between fenders is over 80 inches, I would build my own ramps. I think the difference between car and implement trailer is implement trailers have flip up ramps. Car trailers don't have stake pockets, don't have flip up ramps.
Use searchtempest to get a feel for what new trailers sell for. I like to use ebay too to get an idea of price and value.
I can't see building one. I want mine to be DOT approved. I can't see buying a used one. Been there, done that and by the time I was done with new rubber, wheel bearings, brakes, wiring light, there wasn't but a couple of hundred difference between my 15 used trailer that needed a paint job and a new one. Not to mention, time is money. Had a lot of time invested.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
