    IMG_20180910_135005914_HDR.jpg Picked up this beauty on Craigslist for $100 and a 12 pack of Miller!

    Was clearing out a new walking trail for Mrs. and threw on some small stuff to try it out. I hauled it with my little 400 Polaris about a half mile . Worked great and will save me a lot of time hauling out the little stuff I can't stand to leave behind!

    Now that is a thing of beauty! Perfect for skinny forest trees ( and bigger ones too I'm sure).

    Put down a sacrificial wood bed, and then you can buck up all those skinny poles right on the trailer.

    That is a great little trailer. Perfect for limb wood and going down trails. Bet you will find a hundred uses for it and will soon wonder how you lived without it!

    Very nice. But now you need a tractor with front end loader so you can haul the big stuff too! :rofl: :lol:

    I'd say you've done good. That trailer should serve you well.

    I'd pull those lengths out cutting as I went, I like the looks of it. You can pull it into tight spaces and load what some other bigger trailers would never be able to get at. And for 100 bucks and some beers, you did well.

    What's the Axle width of that trailer?

    I like hauling all the "sticks" like that out of the woods as well.

    Nice trailer:)

    You need to mount a winch on that baby and bring home the bigguns?
    Definitely feeling my age ;) always looking to trade back work for a button.
