Love the step by step video. Easy to follow and its as good as any blueprint.
Thank you very much sir. Glad you enjoyed this project and found it helpful. Take care my friend.
Enjoyed,, thanks for sharing
Sir, nice trailer build. I’ve made small garden tractor trailers like that and one of my lessons learned, after replacing multiple bent axles, is to weld in a grade 8 bolt for the axle. Scott
Good diy
Going to be a great trailer. Well done Steve.
Thank you Doug. It is already complete I am just getting to the video editing. I will say that I really like it. Take care my friend.
Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much Donald. I really appreciate it brother. Trying to get ready for the gardening season. Take care my friend.
Is a very nice to me now. I learned how to farbreacte
This is Ryan bud !!!!great job awesome as always
Thanks Ryan. Glad you enjoyed it, but then you have already seen finished build. LOL! Take care brother.
Looks like you are having fun. Get that thing built so you can turn more wood!
Thank you Daryl. Yes, I am having a great time. I also have a lot of woodturning to do very soon for a show coming in early May. I have one other project that goes with this one. Hope you enjoy it also.
I like to have a portable fan blowing on high when I’m welding galvanized, along with a mask too. Thanks!
Thank you very much. Great point and practice. That stuff is really nasty. Take care.
Nice job on the trailer! Looks professional. Is the metal that you were using hot or cold rolled? Thanks
Thank you Alex. Glad you enjoyed this project. The frame tubing was 2 inch square with 1/8" wall and the sheet was 16 gauge. Hope this helps. Take care.
@@StephenOgle Thank you! I will be ordering metal to build my own now. I hope my trailer turns out as good as yours!
I’m going to build a trailer for my Craftsman tractor soon. I will be using 2.5” square tubing and a 2” ball hitch coupler. It’s going to be a dually single axle trailer. The dimensions are going to be 4’ wide x 5’ long x 2’ high.

Watch out for torqueing and twisting of the front cross member of the trailer frame where the tongue is welded to it. Without an extension of the tongue farther
back to an other crossmember the frame tongue weight can cause the front crossmember to twist. Probably would have been better to have the tongue extended
back to the center crossmember. Looking good though.
My thoughts too, David. He might gain some strength by welding some gussets to the tongue and frame.
Thank you David, I agree. You will see in the next part how I braced the front cross member. Not good enough for a Road worthy trailer but I think it will be really strong for a lawn trailer. My other little trailer didn't even have a crossmember. LOL!! Thank you very much for your suggestion and take care.
How much for all the material? 👍🤙 awesome work brother
Thank you sir. So glad you enjoyed this project. I am sorry to say I do not know exactly how much this trailer cost me. Estimating it was between 300 to 350 I am sure. Including the winch, wheels and the steel materials. I hope this helps. take care.
@@StephenOgle that’s awesome. Do you know the thickness of that tubing? I wanted to go use the same stuff. How many purses just for the frame?
Put some anti-sieze compound on the axle shafts so they don't rust to the wheels when the trailer sits idle ?
Thank you Doug. Great idea! and I have some in the shop. Take care.
What brand of welder are you using?
Thank you Lucas. It is the Titanium MIG 140 from Harbor Freight. Hope this helps.
You got to be from NC or SC 🤔
Thank you Louie. You are very close. NW Georgia. Take care!
There just Chinese junk.the tires for these n wheel barrows are so cheap n thin they can't hold air for much more than a year.
Thank you and I agree. I could not find others with the same axle size. I think they will be fine on a lawn trailer though. Mostly carrying leaves and compost. Take care.
