    Their ok but only 1 ply so they tend to get torn by scrap and large rocks pretty easily. Would not be the first one ive seen try to load scrap and end up with a hole in it. Also cant get a 3 way door installed due to lack of structrual support. Otherwise reliable and pretty good trailers. @motocross25 was also a buckethead so he may have an opinion on them as well.

    Thanks for the info. A friend of mine has one that I'm strongly considering pulling and this is good to know for future reference. I think it would be wise to be picky about what I load in it if I do decide to roll with it

    I’ve personally never pulled one, but like @Arctic_fox says if it’s a single wall just be super picky about what you load in it.

    No problem. And if your looking for a decent trailer let me know. I know some places that have good trailers at a decent price if you decide you would prefer a dual wall or something simular.
     
    Badmon Thanks this.

    I'm in the market for a 28'-32' full frame if you know of any. Hauling hotmix and milling 95% of the time.

    We’ve owned quite a few of them, and still have two of them. We only use them for stockpile, load them with sand or 89s, for the longest time we used them with clay. Want to stay away from the older models 92-96. Almost every driver who pulls them loves them. All depends on what type of hauling you are doing.
     
    Badmon Thanks this.
