Great reviews, Good resale value, light weight all aluminum... What's your opinion in them or what type of trailer do you like?

 

You know where I'm from right? Lol

 

She was trying to get a Kabota skid steer added to a sheet steel load out of Anoka cause the steel only weighed 33k but didn't happen...

 

My opinion is they are a great trailer... but not so sure they are worth almost twice what a good trailer cost. Can you scale 48k? If so you don't need an all aluminum and definately don't need that high payment right now.

 

Is that the same with the Hendrickson lift axle its done from inside the cab?

 

I think they are a very nice trailer. Not worth the additional cost unless you are hauling a lot of heavy coils or other heavy concentrated loads. I have a MaxMiser, and it is a great trailer. Have had a 46-47k coil on it and it retained most of its arch. I personally think Reitnouer trailers are the best looking trailers on the market. Reitnouer and Mac are IMO the two best all aluminum trailers. They ain't cheap though.

 

No. Absolutely not. That is highly illegal. Not that guys don't do it...

 

Also, all aluminum trailers don't rust!

 

The trailer I got from Mercer will run me a little over $33k. A big bubba is $43k with lift axle... I'm 32,900 empty, so

 

43k plus financing right? It would be different if you could write a check for it or qualify for some stupid low interest rate like 2%. But if you gotta finance 35k at 10% for 5 years.... that's gonna add up to another 10k.
