appreciate the concern. This trailer is from the 50's. It was torn down to the bare frame when I got it. Cut it down from 35'+ to 17', used the cut off's to reinforce the frame. One piece ended up across the back. Then welded a steel floor on it, was a crude oil tank that we cut open. Trailer weight is + 2000 lbs. Have carried over 6000 lb's on it with the brake controller set at 7 on a 1-10 scale. Typically carry 3500 lbs on it.
Someday will have something better. Two trips in the last month of 1100+ miles with no problems. Pulling it with a 68 Ford F250 126,000 miles. I am second owner on this truck.
