wow - been doing some reading on trailer sway - looks like I got lucky yesterday because there was one point, going down hill at about 65mph on Ct15N when that thing started to fish around behind me pretty bad... I don't scare easy and that was about terrifying...
You scored for $2350.00!
I can't get it on the trailer all the way because the front drivers control arm is broken off. I am glad I only had to haul the thing 10 miles. I need to get my ramps up higher to travel with it
I gotta go Guys... Be Back Later...I'm runnin late....

you need more storage - I still have a nice enclosed I sell ya...
Ha... ask me what I know about trailer sway....rolled a Farmal M down the 4 lane highway and ended up on the west bound shoulder going east bound. I wasn't driving and at that moment I was wishing I wasn't riding either.
I wish I could.
I think a alignment is out of the question without flex tape!
Oh...Just to be clear...after several direction changes the Farmal M decided to leave the trailer.

Trailers can be a ***** if loaded wrong or the axel is cocked.

Jesus - that must have been quite the wipe-out!
When do you plan on bringing it over?

like the POS two wheeler I have - it's tweaked just enough that backing it up is some kinda PITA

Have seen some pretty scary close calls. Trailers that were way out of control...never saw anyone actually lose one.

I hear ya - gonna clear it out today and get after selling it and just wanted to give you another shot at it - you were first after all..
I have a small TS trailer 4x8 pretty much all I need, a car trailer like that one would defiantly come in handy though.....When we scrapped the shell of the Belve we put it on Rons think it it 6x12 just handled it all 800 lbs of it!
Keefer whats the car painting plan?

a few years ago we saw a 10' trailer over loaded with wood swaying back and forth HARD... I backed way off, I was sure he was going to lose it

I'll make you the same offer I made Tike.. $3300 - which is what I paid for itI have a small TS trailer 4x8 pretty much all I need, a car trailer like that one would defiantly come in handy though.....When we scrapped the shell of the Belve we put it on Rons think it it 6x12 just handled it all 800 lbs of it!
There was several factors come into play. As we tried to get off the road on the right it blew both trailer tires as it dropped off of the edge...that added a lean to the right as we began to swerve to the left....then when the chain broke and the tractor came part way off I knew there was no gaining control so I was trying to get into a crash position so I lost the last few moments.....It was a ride.
