Thanks for the words of wisdom everybody. Glad to know I got the good deal I was hoping for. To me, this was the perfect little trailer for my first good scrapping adventure with my best friend. Hopefully we can upgrade later on to a better one. After we save up some cash and I get enough experience driving this little one around.
I drive a 2WD (4WD is out of my price range) Ford F150. The trailer doesn't have brakes on it like Russell pointed out, so thanks for making me aware that I need to remember the weight of my trailer load when stopping the truck. More weight = more momentum = more effort/time needed to stop the truck with the trailer, or something of that nature.
I appreciate the advice davidarlen and everyone else for how to figure out how much to load the trailer up with, without breaking it. And to be careful not to blow a tire so it doesn't spin out on me.
Thanks newattitude I honestly don't remember the exact measurements, but if it's not a 5x8,it's fairly close. I also liked the size of the tires. I'm not as well rounded when it comes to trailers/farm equipment/and vehicles, but I figured that bigger tires = bigger scrap load, it could handle.
I have a habit of forgetting about my own posts until days later, so again, thanks to everyone that enjoyed my new trailer post and added their 2cents. I may not take all the advice I get in life, but I still welcome it.
