I needed a little utility trailer to mount my Hydroseeder onto but I couldn't find any that I liked. So I welded this one up in my backyard. 7k axle and tires. I plan on adding hose racks and a tool bin on later.
nice job.....
yeah real nice job!
real nice trailer just woundering what it cost to fab something like that ? always thought of doing one for a small machine.
Are you certified to do that type of work???:wink2
Looks great!:thumbsup
Thanks Well... I am purposely not adding up the receipts because I don't want to know. I will say that it is cheaper to buy one unless you want something out of the ordinary. If I had to guess it would be about half again the cost of a cheapie landscaper trailer. I wanted a single heavy axle, rolled toward the back for balance, a longer tongue to work with the dump truck and a flat open deck for easy loading of mulch bales. It's OK, I read about it on an internet forum once...
a nice production A fine trailer. Has a very professional look.
Hi Orchard Ex, very nice job, I am from Mèxico and have built one small trailer, one axle to pull with my truck, a chevrolet pick up like yours the color, only one cuestion, how long and wide is this trailer`s deck??
well by counting the 2x6's its aprox 7 and a half feet wide:beatsme
looks good only question where are the tie downs?
Hey um Nick i know your a lowbedder but in the first pic theres one... its the lil thingy on the underside of the trailer in the front, LOL...
ah I see now.I was expecting to see them in the deck you know those recessed d rings.:notworthy
LOL its ok we all have brain farts from time to time Nick.:drinkup
Nice work!:drinkup How do you go about getting a tag for it without a Manuf. certificate of Origin? Or is it Orchard's Trailer Company?
All you do is tell the DMV it's homemade, and take it to them to cert it, and tag it, easy peezy lemon squeezy!
and they will also assign it a VIN
It's 81" between the fenders and the deck is 13' 4". Only the 1 winch because it has a hydroseeder mounted on the back, and the strap winch is to hold down mulch bales and seed sacks up front. I've also mounted a 2" water pump up in the tongue and I plan to add a tool box soon. Tonka and Steve are right about the tag. In MD we fill out a form for a homemade trailer, pay the title fee and the temp tag fee, get a VIN assigned, get it inspected, pay the taxes, pay for the real tags and get the plates and stickers. I've used it a few times and it tows nicely behind the Pete. Thanks for the compliments!
does this trailer have electric brakes?
Yep, with a breakaway battery kit.
