Nice trailer, plenty of storage. I went to photopoint and took a look. I wouldn't know how to post pics, hell I can't even find my address book. lol

Very nice trailer. I could use one of them. :)

You almost had the picture right. You needed to double click the picture to expand it to full screen and then on the last img in brackets, you needed this / so it would look like this /img, but only in brackets.

[KillerShark]

thank you Eric

[Eric ELM]

No problem, how much is a trailer like that one? That is nice.

[KillerShark]

the trailer cost me a little under $3000. The major cost was the aluminum tool box on the front, the price wasn't broken down, but I'm sure the box was around $700. I did take the advice of some of the members here and go with the 5' expanded metal gate for the back. I'm glad I did. But it sure is heavy, I'm gonna have to put a spring on it like you did.

Great looking trailer. What size is that one? How much equipment will it hold? What kind of equipment do you have to put on it. I'm in the market for a trailer big enough to hold two 60" lazers, a walk behind, and a push, plus all of my blowers, trimmers etc.

[kris]

very nice.... I too could use one

[tlcgrounds]

That look lie a ralyy nice set up. I've found one thin to be true. ya can't have enough sdpace and you can't have a big enough trialor. I think the next one I'm going to get is an old tractor trailor.

[KillerShark]

The size is 7'x 14' of actual floor space. Then the box is another 2' wide. So it's actually a 7'x 16'. Currently I only put a 50" gravely ztr, a 21" honda walk behind and the old timey walk behind edger on it. I do plan on getting another ztr next year. I'm torn between the exmark, dixie, or the kubota. I'm hearing mostly good things about all three. Thanks for the compliments btw.

[Eric ELM]

All of those mowers would be good, just demo them all and see what works out best for you.

BTW, if you go to the top post and click on edit/delete you can see exactly what I changed to get that picture to work. I also changed the thread topic. ;)

What brand is it?

[KillerShark]

It's a 'Big Tex Trailer'

I think they have a web site...

Nice. Now you need some shiny yellow mowers!!

[Grassman]

SHARP! That yellow paint together with the aluminun looks tough. Good luck, Russ

[dhicks]

That is one nice trailer. Sounds like the price was right too! Congrats!

[turfguy]

SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!

NICE TRAILER, alot better then mine. My trailer has a 6' expnded metal gate, and they sure do get heavy at the end of the day.

That's a sharp trailer. Looks like it will last a long time.
I'd like something like that in the 20 ft range, I think I'll check out their website for future reference.

[Fine Lines Lawn]

Very nice!
My oldest trailer is a 1995 "Big Tex", same size without a tool box. They'll certainly take a beating.
Mine got it's 6 year renovation this winter, with new paint, new floor, and new wires.

[John DiMartino]

Nice trailer,I love the storage box,and the chevy truck aluminum wheels.The extended tongue is very nice,and will keep you from destroying your box with the bumper of the truck.

[jeffyr]

Very nice--I love the side gate.

Most excellent !!!

Hey Killer Shark that is one bright trailer. I guess I will be seeing you around town. Looks nice.

[Davis TLC]

Good looking trailer. Be hard to hide that one in the bushes. Wish I had opted for the 5 ft gate on my trailer 2 years ago.

[scottb]

I am going to do a search,but will ask anyway for some names of trailer mfg. perferable open around a 6x12. I currently have a 16footer but could use a smaller more verstale trailer at times. And I could really use a backup as the 16ft is 12 years old completely redone but is also used to haul hay this time of year.

Once again Eric I give thanks to you.

[1st Class Lawns]

Scott,
I bought a 6 x 12 trailer from Tesh And Sons in Lexington,NC.
They make a top quality trailer.
Mine has 2' mesh sides,a side gate,a rear gate (both gates are their patented Finger Lift Gates), 15" radial tires, and wiring is in conduit.
Their web site is http://www.teshandsons.com (sorry, I dont know how to post a link).
