    I have a 2 car trailer >> about 25 foot from tongue to back, able to get 2 on as the first lifts up over the 2nd
    I also use the Harbor Freight Bandlands winch and it has pulled anything and EVERYTHING I have ever went to pickup >> I have NEVER had to leave something behind!
    I like the solid deck so when you are dragging on old stuff with parts hanging down , nothing for it to get caught on

    I am able to get into some pretty tight spots >> Practice backing up when you first get your trailer. And go SLOW >> then you have time to correct if needed

    NOPE!!
    Like I said >> I get them all >> If VERY heavy and stuck in the mud >> I use a snatch block >> Doubles the pull capacity but also cuts speed in half
