    Perfect stay in the garage weather up here this weekend...So I got busy redesigning this old cargo trailer from the 60's .Had to drop the hitch about 6.5 inches so it would be at the Big Red's hitch height . I still have to reposition the old steel fenders back on...and may need some extra tongue bracing and a red paint job...but it looks like Ill have more time before it gets used :) Not a bad job...considering my mig welder took a poop :( So it was all torches.....grinders and drills !! image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Love it. How much can you load on that trailer and still be able to control the ride comfortably?

    Ok.... I am updating my original post ! This Big Red and trailer are gonna work out just fine :) . Made a few runs with it today. The old Red pulled it with no hesitation ! I could make some short sides and throw more in.... But i think ill leave it alone... As too keep me safe and outa trouble :) image.jpg

    As you can see... Theres plenty of work for the new setup. If i could do a 360 degree shot.... One would be shocked at all the Ash logs stacked up.

    Now all ya need is a little saw for that atv and you'd be set. I'd recommend an old clapped out stihl 025.:whistle: Maybe get the piltz "hot saw" kit and run a 32" with full skip on 'er:rofl: :lol:
