Ever thing of making the floor hang over the wheels/tires… I’m lost on the terminology at the moment, vs the wheels outside the floor?

 

problem with that is it makes the deck higher and harder to load a big zero turn because of the gate angle.

also called a deck over axle.

 

Yes ok… I was just axin’

 

I don't build deck overs. I'm purely a utility trailer fab guy. I like trailers that can be used for lots of things.

Also, they always sell.

 

Do you mind giving a rough materials cost? I was debating building vs buying a trailer.

 

$300 in iron
$200 in tires
$200 in lights, jack, coupler, wire harness and verious fasteners.
$100 in paint
$200 in decking and side lumber.

Building it exactly like I want... priceless.

I might be over or under, but those numbers are pretty close.

 

Thanks.

 

Title work?

 

Here in Michigan we only have a registration for trailers.

An assembled trailer registration costs $75 and that includes a " forever" lisence plate.

Run far away from that one. 5000 series, particularly the 5252s were lemons. MTD actually bought a bunch of them back they were so bad. I've seen them on the market with super low hours so I think some buyback tractors were sold after they were taken back in.

No product support and almost no parts available. I love Cubs...just not those clunkers.

 

Chipped away at getting the lighting mounted up.

LED lighting is the shit!

 

Everyone wants to have a friend who is always right there with you -- my friends name is Murphy...

That was a new genuine New Holland belt this spring.

 

LED's are the way to go. I recently replaced the stop and tail lights on my 6' x 12' trailer. I need to do the rest. A guy I knew (passed away) built this trailer in 1981, it is a handy size. It's double axle, he built it low so his father in law could load watermelons on it. I can load 3 four wheelers on it if I do them from the side.

 

Bosses dads mower, the oil dipstick was broke. Used the ole business card for a gauge trick for the new coil. New plug, air filter, and fuel filter. We’ll see if it stays running now.

 

Crank it over

 

Well the 259 is broke, couldn't pick it today, so a Cat 299 is going to be delivered

 

That trailer looks undersized...

 

Mine was not for a 13k machine.
