Picked up one of the Carry On 5x8 trailers myself with the metal floor. What a decent way to transport heavier things. 1650 LBS is still a pretty decent payload and near what most 1/2 ton trucks are rated at for payload. Like the winch idea and really like how that ammo can mounted to the front there. Great idea for cargo straps and what not. Like the idea of the winch because if mower goes down, have a mechanism to get it back on to the trailer.
just ordered that welder, i needed one for around the property.. dang good idea.. thanx.. i made a 14 foot homeade trailer from an old pop up camper.. sand blasted with a HF sand blaster, and laid pressure treated planks on it.. the 8ft thing was a learned experince for me too..its why i made sure it was over 8ft.. i totally totally understand the 8ft thing..omg ..learned the hard way here in the wooods of maine! cheers on the snow!

The old one I had was a manual winch and it worked well- This works way better

It was a surprise when the 8foot drywall would not fit. Maybe a moment of panic before we thought to take the old wench off.
Excellent video Eric :) Jen :) great teamwork together and plan too all turn nicely 👍 👏 😀 !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice set up! You'll be hauling material, lawn tractors and go-karts with ease now. If you haven't already, put an electric winch on your boat trailer.
That's the plan! It seems like the project keep piling up and the time just flys by. Hopefully I can get to it soon
