I can't make up my mind, I had a 8x12 open trailer-didn't want stuff in weather. Got a 8x12 enclosed-not enough room-Got a 8x18 open with front and rear ramps. Finaly have the room but still hate unloading stuff every nite. Does anybody have any solutions? I live in a rural area -theft is not a problem, only weather. I feel like a woman, can't make up my mind. Any ideas? I want to cary 2 ZTR's and a walk behind so big is good.
Thanks, Brad

Try the search feature. As for me enclosed all the way.
Check out the turf magazines. I have a 16ft open and if I had my druthers (some day I may), I would have a 18' inclosed...lots of good companys advertise in Turf and Lawn Pro magazine....

Enclosed trailers are nice, but room is a problem. I have a 23 ft Featherlite that we use for snowmobling, i don't use it for work to often though That back AND FRONT DOOR DOES OPEN. sO IT WOULD MAKE A GOOD LANDSCAPE TRAILER. I HAVE SEVERAL OPEN TANDEUM YTRAILERS. tHAT WORK REAL WELL

Get a 20x60 enclosed, that way its out of the weather, and no one ever goes out in the morning and says to themselves "man this thing is too big"

Get a 22ft. Ryder truck and have a dove tail put on it. Out of the weather and put a lock on the door, no unloading and everything you need to work with is in there including a work bench, if you put one in there.

I got 5 cars and trucks. We took the 1958 Cheverlet Impala to my uncles for storage, and now I put the trailer (loaded) in the 2nd garage slot. If you can, build a pole barn, they aren't too expensive. Besides then you'll have a big work shop space. If I had the extra land, I would.

I use a Ford 250 cargo van wich houses my trimmers, blowers, and hand tools and a 16' enclosed for my mowers. Plenty of room in each. The van has an alarm system and the trailer is locked. I just back it in the driveway and I'm done. Russ
