Enclosed Trailer Lawn Care Setup 5x10
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2017
- This video will aid in anyone trying to get a handle on the real world dimensions and limitations of a 5 foot wide by 10 foot long enclosed trailer. The interior is 5 feet wide and 10 feet long, with an additional 1.5-2 feet of storage in the v-nose.
The drop down ramp is probably closer to 4 or 4.5 feet wide, and the space on the ramp available to drive up with a mower is even less as the lift assist takes up another few inches on either side. I didn't measure it, but I wouldn't think you could fit more than a 42" deck mower driving straight up the ramp.
The main drawback is the interior height of only 5'. Being 5' 9", I am able to navigate the inside with little effort and no real discomfort, however taller folks will probably have issues.
I live in Florida and purchased this trailer from a manufacturer in Georgia. The cost was as follows:
5X8 base trailer - $1350.00
2 extra feet to make it a 5x10 - $100.00
24" Side door addition - $100.00
Full size spare - $85.00
TOTAL - $1635.00 plus tax and registration fees which will vary depending on state and locality.

UPDATE: 5:44 For , The distance in between the bolts on the floor of the ramp (where the spring assist wires connect) is 47.5". If I take an angle grinder to the bolts and trim the excess off past the nut I can get an extra .5" for a MAX clearance of 48". Unfortunately, this still rules out most 48" decks as they are a few inches wider than 48".
Good info, I was looking to get one of these to park in my garage, but need to get a 48" Bob-Cat in it. Will have to look at a 6' wide and hopefully with the same height as yours.

Excellent review. I appreciated the height demo. Often times, things look a lot bigger on the Internet. Thanks for this well thought out review. Best of lock with your business.
Thank you for the kind words, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video. You Came Back And Filled Us In. Thanks 👍 👍
Very nice job showing everything off, I was impressed, learned a lot as im looking into a trailer myself. Thank you!
Great reviews thank you, this size trailer would definitely work for my mini camper conversion n fit in garage
Marathon Watching 6/2/21 A sort of marathon of 6 of your videos (1 of 6) ! These are informative...
Nice such a conveniently sized trailer works for you!! Definitely food for though before getting something too large.
And it fits in the garage perfectly!
@@CopperCreekCuts Yes. And that is a big deal to be able to do that. Safe and sound in the garage. I do not have a landscape/mowing service. If I did I would definitely try to emulate what you do. I am a retired accountant. Formerly a lawn "'fanatic" (I live in Iowa. And I planted clover in my yard!!! A lawn fertile service guy came by while I was outside and said "Oh, and we can help you get rid of that clover". He was speechless when I told him I put it there on purpose. My idea of a lawn is obviously different that most people.). Sorry for the long memo. I just had to say I like the way you work and think. Obviously at least 29,000 other people think so also. Good luck to you. Keep making videos!
Appreciate you sharing this.
You are more than welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks exactly what I was looking for
thanks for posting. $1635. what a steal. Trailer dealer told me to bend over. but I did find a used 5x8 for $2300. little small but have to make it work.
You are very welcome! Glad you ended up finding one!
Nice compact trailer!
It has worked out great for me! :)
Great video man!
Thank you very much! :)
Aha! Here’s your vid on your enclosed trailer. Excelente.
Glad you found it! It is a good little trailer, better if you are short! ;)
That’s a nice trailer
I like the black and diamond plate
Me too, it looks pretty sharp IMO.
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great detail, gracias 👍🍺🇺🇸
Hmmm... This is probably what I need! If it wasn't for my HOA I would of went with a 7x14 high side dump trailer! LOL!
That is a nice trailer for the price here in California the cheapest just like that one is close to $3000 I got mine used 2009 model 5*8 simple no side door for $1700 3 year's ago do the math yours is nice really nice thank you for sharing .
Oh boy, California is $$$!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the video!!
No problem!
Nice one I had one till I sold it but love your videos man keep up the work I do lawn care to
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I think it is a great trailer. Always good to talk to another lawn care brother! :)
Yes it is
Check out my new video I love my job but hate what I got paid by the city for two jobs I did
We decided to go with a 7x16! It’s perfect hold two 36” walk behinds a 52” zero turn!
Very nice! And I bet you won't hit your head walking in and out! ;)
Nice trailer
Way cool man nice n compact
Thanks for watching and commenting! It has been working out really well for me!:)
Greatly appreciated the in-depth demo on load / unload logistics and clearance specs, Brad! I'm in the market for my first enclosed trailer, and have a storage scenario similar to yours. Live on an acre lot in an HOA, and would prefer for aesthetic, logistical, and security reasons to keep my trailer in my twin door two-car garage, which measures 26.5' deep. Each door measures 8.5' wide by 8' tall.
I stand 5'9" as well, and am currently running a 52" stander that measures 55" wide. I plan to work solo for the foreseeable future. I would prefer a 5' or 6' wide trailer over the more common 7'-8.5' widths due to my garage door width as well as towing and purchase price considerations.
However, I'm having difficulty locating a 5' or 6' wide enclosed trailer with a 6' rear door ramp height. Most I've found in this range offer a 5'7" door height with a 6' ceiling height, which will require my ducking to get in and out, particularly when on the stander. With this in mind, had a few questions for you now that you've had your current 5x10' enclosed trailer for over three years:
1) Now that you run the 36" Bobcat QuickCat stander rather than your original residential-grade ZRT, have you found that the limited headroom and door height are more of an issue?
2) With a single-axle trailer like yours, have you found it necessary to load your 36" Bobcat QuickCat backwards in the trailer in order to maintain the proper tongue weight, or have you been able to drive it straight in while maintaining good trailer handling?
3) Has the limited headroom significantly limited or affected your load / unload efficiency and/or tool access when working your daily route?
4) If you had to do it all over again, would you make the same decision or would you opt for a trailer with more headroom and settle for parking it in the drive instead of the garage?
Thanks for the video!
Great questions!
1 - Only when I forget to duck. Stooping down into the trailer to load/unload (or technically back up, drive forward) the mower is now second nature.
2 - I load it over the axles and more often than not when I stop it has shimmied itself over to a sidewall and rests there. That being said I am never on the highway with it, so around city tongue weight isn't quite as important if I am only going 35mph.
3 - No, because I paid extra for the side door, which lets me get all the handheld equipment and gas cans.
4 - If I could do it over again I would get the same height so it could fit in the garage but see what the cost was for a custom size, so wider but still as short. That being said I have taken to just parking it in the driveway hooked up to the truck the past few months as I have been working much more, and am looking at a new gate to allow me to park it in the backyard.
@@CopperCreekCuts - Thanks for the prompt and detailed response, Brad! Appreciate the insight based on your experience.
Hands down best informative video I've seen, helped make my decision. Thanks bud, share the secret what's the name of the place in Georgia?
nice trailer
Thank you! :)
Thank you for sharing, i been thinking about getting one to tow with my ranger pickup truck, i actually want a 5 ft tall for wind resistance as my ranger sits really low compare to your van and i travel to different citys
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! Just remember, if you are very tall it might be a nuisance! :)
@@CopperCreekCuts oh yes im 5-9 but i only use a commercial 21 mower so i can put everything next to the door and other stuff that i dont really use in the back, but that side door lookreally useful
HAHA as soon as you showed the trimmer on the floor of the trailer I said "You need some bungie's sir!" Then you say maybe I should get some bungie's :D nice trailer though.
Is that a case of 'great minds think alike'? That trailer has worked out really well for me, you will see it again soon (doing an update with the new blower rack installed in it so you will get a new view)
Depend on the manufacture they make the 5x10s in 6ft inside height, too. I have a 5x10 with 66in. height so that's 5'6 very similar to the model you have.
It would work strictly for storage reasons, but as soon as any work needed to be performed in the trailer, it would be uncomfortable unless you are in a sitting position.
You are spot on! Thanks for watching!
nice trailer! i think id be to tall for that though! looks good
You don't like walking around with goose eggs on your noggin?! ;)
Got the trailer almost all lettered up. Broke it into three days of work and three videos, the first posts Thursday! (Trying to do two vids a week, on Tuesday and Thursday)
Copper Creek Cuts lol no im jus shy of 6'4 i wouldnt survive lol, keep the good vids coming. maybe throw some mowing vids on here and when you build up a lil more content ill give youva shout out and try to get you some more subs on here
You wouldn't make it unloading for the first lawn. RIP. lol.
I appreciate that! Yeah lemme have a month or two and make sure I stick to the two uploads a week thing. The yards I have I don't feel like are that special to see, maybe when I do some trimming/weeding jobs which I have one this weekend.
Hey Brad I have a question. I am looking at a getting either a Wright 36 or 48 inch mower. I probably will only be able to get a 5x10 trailer since I need it to fit in my garage. Do you think a 48 will fit with the discharge flap up?
Hey Russell! It depends 100% on the trailer you are looking at. I don't know if there are industry standards but I don't want to assume the people who built my trailer used the same schematics as the ones who will be building yours. That being said:
FIRST, before I answer your question, if you are getting a 5x10 to fit it in the garage because of the height, knowing what I know now I would actually ask the trailer manufacturer if they could do a custom sized 6x10 or 7x10 and still keep the overall height at 7'. If I ever get a new trailer that is what I will do, because the 5x10 is perfect height for parking in garage, but I could actually benefit from it being wider, so if they can make it wider and still as short, that would be perfect.
NOW, to actually answer your question based on my trailer: Mine is 5x10, but the rear entrance is 50 inches wide and the ramp only allows 48 inches of clearance between where the lift assist bolts into the floor of the ramp. So as long as the wheelbase is 48" or less you should be able to clear the ramp and if the deck (which should float over the lift assist bolts) is 50" or less you should be able to clear the rear entrance. Keep in mind you would have extremely little tolerance when loading/unloading, so it would be a slow process.
I'm stunned at the prices you mentioned. That seems insanely cheap for a trailer like that. How do they even build it with the materials, let alone the labour involved in making it for $1350?
I would suggest looking at how big you intend on growing your business, then buy the biggest you can afford that your vehicle can safely pull. I started with a 5x7, then 5x10, 6x12, now 7x16. The money I would have saved if id just bought the 7x16 would be in the $1000’s
nice set up. yeah already watched your harbor frieght one as well. i have 2015 Chrysler town and country S model. how does you van pull the trailer?? did you add anything to the van besides the hitch and light set up?
mike Norton Thanks Mike! Mine is a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan S/E, with V6 and pulls it great! My trailer is 800lbs, mower is 725, and probably another 150 in fuel, blowers, ladder, trimmers/edgers, so I am usually under half of the 3500lb tow max.
Had to also buy the receiver that slides into the tube, a ball to go on the receiver, and locks as well. Maybe another $60 aside from the hitch itself that bolts to the car and wiring kit.
I also have an 08 chrysler town and country and added a receiver hitch and pull a 5×8 open trailer with my zero turn and super recycler on the back just fine. mine has the 3.8L v6
What size mower is that? I have a 5x10 as well and trying to buy a 42in exmark but want to be sure it will fit first
Does the van pull it pretty good. I got the same van and year
Thanks for the in depth video! This is exactly what I need for my auto detailing business... I'm also in Florida, would you mind passing along the information for the manufacturer you purchased from?
I am thrilled it helped! I got it from Peach Manufacturing. I think in Adele GA. www.peachcargo.biz/
Get some E track for holding your equipment. Way better then the dollar store red hooks you have now.....
Is nice. But it looks a little to small for me. I can see my self hitting my head coming in and out. I think ill get a 6 feet. Thank you for the video.
You are very welcome! And yes, I have the bruises (healed now) to show it is VERY possible to forget about the height and smash your noggin!
I had one in 1997, i payed 925, now they are 4k bucks give or take depending on location
Where can i get a trailer like this shipped to my house and whats the biggest trailer i can get for any suv i got a 2006 buick rendezvou truck ?
If you go with a national company it will probably cost more. I would google 'trailer manufacturer' or 'trailer dealer near me' on google. Then compare prices from the results and see who offers delivery. And the SIZE of the trailer isn't as important as the WEIGHT. Your specific vehicle will have a specific limit to what it can tow that unfortunately I do not know. Consult your owner's manual. If you don't have that, call the company that made it. They should be able to look it up with your VIN. Hope that helped!
I have a 42” craftsman. I’m guessing it will fit fine.
No problem with a 42"! 48" would be very tight though.
How did that work out for you truckindad0301? Seems like it would be really tight fit.
What’s your total height attached. I’m looking for one that will fit my 7ft high garage I need it to fit in the garage.
May sound like a crazy question but, will my 20hp lawn mover tractor move that trailer[ empty] to the flat back yard ?
I think it would as long as you had the right hitch!
how many pounds is everything? curious to now if my small truck can handle a 45 minute drives
The trailer is 800, the mower in that video is 550ish, probably another couple hundred pounds of other equipment, gas, supplies, call it 1600 and you are really close!
What kind of trucm
Who did you purchase this trailer through?
What size mower is that.
A baby 36" :)
May I suggest some small eyelets and bungy cords
That would work really well!
My 48 inch ridding mower fits on my 5x8 soo
Very good! I am sure we have different manufacturer's so distances are probably different. I think I pinned an update comment that said I can get 48" between the narrowest point, but most 48" mowers are a hair wider than 48" :(
How’s that mower? Would you recommend?
Great starter mower, but not built for commercial work. Probably would still do over the same.
At min 7:51 dang he got there quick.
Can you fit a 48 inch mower in a 5x10?
Yes
Whats the price of a zero turn mower like that?
I got mine for $3,000 in March 2017. I can't say what they cost nowadays.
Can I fit a motorcycle in this? Road glide?
I couldn't find the specs I need on their website, so I don't know. The interior height is 5 feet and the door cuts a few inches off of that. So I guess it depends on how tall you are when you sit down and if you remember to duck! Opening is 50" wide.
Can you tell me the height from ground to the rooftop of the trailer?
Mine is 75" if it is level. Just enough to clear the garage entrance (which is 7 feet or 84 inches).
Ok thanks
You are very welcome! The standing height inside the trailer is only 5' though.
How did you drill into the sides?
So working from the inside to the outside, there is a sheet of plywood that is screwed into the structure, which is metal tubing spaced every foot or so. Outside that is the exterior skin of the trailer which is just sheet metal. So if you drill into the plywood you have 3/4 inch (or however thick your plywood is) to screw hooks or drive screws into. The best way to do it is drill through the wood AND metal tubing with self tapping metal screws, that gives the best hold.
Thanks so much! god bless and great job! Cant decide if I should go open or enclosed. Looking at either a 6x10 enclosed or a 5x8 open. I will hold a 36 walk behind and a 30 toro commercial
@@MatthewSmith-uf6tr go enclosed if you can, it will make shopping, stopping or anything a lot faster, also your stuff is protected fron the elements and no need to u load everyday
Get sthil with rack system.
Why is that?
Advertising a landscape trailer is great for business. But it's also advertising for thieves. Crooks don't break into trailers anymore they just steal the whole entire trailer. One minute all is good and your trailer is parked at home, inside garage or inside the storage place. 1 minute 30 seconds later it's outside on the road hitched up to a truck being stolen. It's just a matter of time before stuff is stolen.
Sad, but true. Hopefully the precautions we take to prevent it are enough.
@@CopperCreekCuts I have a box truck stuffed with landscape equipment and gear. But it's a decoy truck. I purchased 2 giant magnets for sides of the doors that says "Used Tires" with the ugliest stack of banged up tires. No advertising nothing zero. I don't want the attention while on the road. The marketing is not worth the possible theft. Your a sitting duck with a enclosed landscape trailer saying "LANDSCAPE COMPANY."
@@MichshnlyI would like to see a picture of your magnets with the ugly stack of used tires : ) Very good point you made. Huge. And these expensive motorcycle trailers people buy? All thieves need to do is just hook up. Boom. Better buy one of these GPS tracker things for $255 and keep it in there, in a concealed location. On that note, will the tracker be able to send a signal if it is stuck up inside the lower frame portion of the trailer or truck? In an aircraft we have to place them where the sun can shine so to speak.
What company did you purchase through
Blueberry Cargo in Georgia, who is a dealer for Peach Cargo Trailers.
I have tried calling them for two days now and I can’t get them to answer the phone or call me back... and no response from my email either. Did you have a hard time getting in touch with them?
I worked with Gloria who was a sweet and helpful lady. I don't remember having a hard time getting a hold of her. I used 912-850-0918 to get a hold of her and her email is grandgirl2014@gmail.com.
Does this trailer enter a garage? Tall
Yes, just under 7 feet tall.
What is the wheel size? 15 or 14
I honestly don't know and that trailer is gone, sorry! You could try peach cargo's website.
@@CopperCreekCuts what did you buy instead of it?
