Default Ready to buy new trailer

I hate being stuck in a small rural town whenever i have to make a purchase like this. I prefer a Big Tex (5x8 or 5x10) or something like it. Living where I do (Permian Basin) were not feeling the effects of the sour economy "yet". Prices are still high. I waited over a month for Home Depot to stock up on thier 6x10 WorkSport only to see the price go up to $1,178. With only 14" wheels. And I'm tired of waiting. I'd be willing to travel a good 4 or 5 hours. I see plenty on eBay at great prices but too far away. It's a long shot but I thought I'd try.

If your tow vehicle is such that weight isn't an issue, I'd also suggest Zieman. Their trailer is steel, but really solid, and it has two ramps on both sides that you just lift and slide under the deck. They generally come with a lockable box on the front, plus a rack for gas cans and a spot to lock a rod through them.

Anyhow, unless you want aluminum because of the rust belt, or for weight, I think they are one of the best ATV trailers I've ever seen.

I believe the model is F-812, but I'm not sure. It tows very well.

You should be able to google to find a dealer. I think my buddy got the one in that photo used for around $1,000.

Nice double side load trailer. Yea it does look of high quality. I just swapped with my cuz my 6 1/2 by 14ft cargo trailer with him
giving me a few extra bucks. Now I just have his 5x8 more suitable for my needs since I am just hauling one ATV now.

Nice PICS, at least you won't have any ATV rubbing issues like I had.

Cheers,

R'

I thought it was more versatile than others I looked at for the same price. They wanted $1,175 for a 5x8 Big Tex everywhere i went to. And $1,250 for a Longhorn. $1050 w/o the gate. Not much else around but Home Depot trailers. For $1,238 I hought this was a good deal. Crap can you believe it. Right in the middle of typing this some kid throws a rock at one of my fromt den window. 4 windws 6'x5'. Neighbor was outside. Said it was kids riding thier bikes. Sometimes I hate living next to Roswell High School!!! @#%$&

Damn. I hope the @#$%^&s get picked up and probed by aliens. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I haven't shopped for trailers in a long time but it looks like my next one will cost double what I paid for my old one.

Really. I don't know the more crap I looked at the more the investment made sense. But I hated spending that for a 5x8. Isaw some great deals on ebay if I lived in those areas! I can't believ I'm not venting right now I'm so pissed. Neighbor said he knows a lot of the kids him being closer to the school and has had hiis vehicles shoe polished. Said he would check it out w/ some of the kids. He sands in his driveway paints in his garage. He was outside under his SUV. Officer was soory for being late but was at a robbery at Little Cesars pizza. Said it's gettin bad around here. Thats why I like my wrought iron gates, secure windows, nice alarm system, good dogs, and lots of locks for my trailer and ATV!!!
