    Thank you guys. Appreciate it. I researched many different types. There are some really nice trailers out there! Prices are “NICE” as well. :faint:

    For what we have to do with it I settled on this one. Tandem walking arm/axles, flip up tailgate for dumping. Foot pedal for dump release. Turns to the side about 45 degrees for dumping. And is rated at 1800lbs. When loading topsoil or stone with backhoe bucket I’ll still need to be very careful to not break it. But I think if I easy does it with loading it will be a good workhorse.

    Not me, but as my memory slips, I may just run for Congress, so I can find out everything I did in the 70's.

    The wind finally gave up. Have to check to see if everything made it through. There was a trampoline that blew out on the highway hundreds of yards from the nearest house.

    Brought the kids to school early today for band practice. Then met wife at the garage so she could drop her Enclave off for an inspection. Then it was off to Lowe’s and Tractor supply for a few things. Almost time to bring some more firewood in. And then do some chores around the house. Appliance repair guy stopping over to repair dryer today as well.

    One nice looking ATV trailer!! I bought a gorilla cart about a year or two ago I love it, does what I need to but it's a little small and have had my eye out for something bit bigger.

    Gasifier I'll be very curious on how that trailer does for dumping. I remember buying a dump trailer once as I wanted to haul some sand and dump. It just was not high enough to dump so had to use a shovel to empty the thing. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

    Waiting for more snow. Cancelled an appointment we have tomorrow in the big city. Have to get something fixed on the car (under carriage) as I'm afraid with fresh snowfall the snow would pack in there and tear off what is left as it is now only held on with zip ties. Looks like I can get it fixed tomorrow though.

    I am going for a push bike ride with some work mates today, it’s been years since I have rode a mountain bike so I hope I don’t slow them down too much. It’s forecast to get to 91F today so I’m going to take plenty of water.

    I spent some time cleaning and servicing my bike after pulling it out of hibernation in the old shed. I think it cleaned up ok for an old bike.

    The bike looks nice but just looking at that seat makes my rear hurt.

    Definitely not designed for the "mature" rider!

    Well, after some errands run this morning, I took apart and cleaned the inside exhaust pipe for the boiler out. Then put it back together and resealed it with cement and high temp tape at the insulated pipe joints. Later I went up on the porch roof and cleaned the chimney cap out with my extendable pole saw. Had a build up of creosote that needed to be dealt with. Done and done. Then my son and I brought some more firewood in. Just went for a walk down by the Oswegatchie River while I wait on my daughter to get done with her dancing lesson. It was a chilly walk! Sitting in the nice warm truck and doing a little FHC surfing.

    I've been meaning to call my propane co and get them to.send me a new contract since they never did in the summer when the old one ran out. Been busy during the day when they are open and kept forgetting. Checked the gauge tonight when reloading the wood bin....
    10% left. Luckily I just need it for heat in the basement and hot water. Told witlfe not to turn that heat on, and I'll get on em tomorrow morning.
