    Watch out for the ones that have been "repaired". Make sure they are good welds and are also welded underneath. Unlike this one.

    Another reason to use the stake pockets instead.

    It looks like they didn't even grind the old weld off before putting the new on, on the top weld, bottom wasn't touched, someone probably paid a hundred bucks for nothing, This is a good post.

    They need to do a far better job. Sometimes you have no choice but to use the spools in securing.

    I had an old passmore trailer that I turned in last week. I counted atleast 10 different broken welds on that trailer. Hopefully the trailer shop fixed the welds before they turn it over to the company that already purchased it.

    If they could just add more winches and tracks they wouldnt be bad trailers.

    I wonder if Reitnouer has an option for pipe spools or something stronger than a 5/16 chain. Something rounder would be nice.
