NE Kansas
Needing a new utility trailer to haul the JD gators and lawn mower around. Any suggestions. Was thinking about an aluminum just for the ease of being able to wheel it around by hand some. Can't weld on those though. Would a tilt bed be something to consider. Thanks

I bought a 12’ dual axle with ramp to haul my mule and BadBoy around. Had the same trailer with single axle prior. The double axle added brakes and 3500# more weight capacity, plus it pulls much better.
I regularly haul supersacks with an Expedition .

Aluminum is nice but $$

This thing is super, gets used all the time because it is so easy to hook/unhook and so easy to park. Small enough that it can be pulled behind ATV too, pick up branches with it sometimes.

It came with a normal jack. We didn't use a jack at all for a long time because its easy enough to pickup the tongue. Now that I've added the caster jack you can push it around super easy without bending down. It takes up a lot less shed space now because people will actually push it back into a corner instead of dropping it wherever they've back up to.

We have a 14k trailer and felt that this little trailer was a luxurious purchase at the time, but in hindsight it was totally worth it.

Might be a touch smaller then what you are looking for? Works well for lawnmowers, ATVs, golf carts, light landscaping.

If you can use one consider a dump trailer. Mine has ramps and is handy to have.

I have an Aluma 12' trailer with a single drop down ramp. It has small tires and a 2000 pound capacity. If I did it again I'd go 14' and 3500 pound capacity. The light weight is great for hook-up but now with the backup cameras available I'm not sure it's all that necessary.

I purchased the previous version of this trailer (7712). Really appreciate the bifold ramp and it will even lay flat with our Polaris loaded. The extended tongue allows you to jack-knife it enough to open the rear door or hatch with-out unhooking the trailer. Use it as much behind our Wrangler as we do behind our Pick-Up.

I have a 16 foot car hauler that is used a fair amount, have had it over 25 years but have not pulled it in the salt, picked up about a 15 foot single axle trailer cheap this last winter that I am using year around, was actually a fair sized boat trailer originally and really like it, turns much shorter and don't even know you are pulling it most of the time going down the road.
