<p>[QUOTE="AgPilot1, post: 12307830, member: 333120"]As everyone knows I’m pretty green at this and have made 2 trailer mistakes already. First I bought a Great Dane combo that I loved. At least for the 3 loads I hauled with it. It was just too heavy and I could only scale 46.8k. I traded that in on a 2008 East BST that was redone with new bags, drums, linings, chambers and lights. Again really like it but it’s age bothers me and I think the arch is a little flat. It’s the weak link in my operation, besides the idiot in charge. A few weeks ago I was talking with the dealer I purchased it from and told him I’d sell it if I could get my money back. Well he called today and I’m in the market for a trailer.</p><p>I’d like to get disk brakes but can’t find any info on what mfg option disks. Is it even a thing on trailers? I like the Fontaine but I’m afraid I’d be cussing up storm every time I had to sweep it off. Extremes look good but reviews are all over the place. Does anyone have experience with Wilson flatbeds? I’m familiar with their grain trailers but didn’t realize they made flatbeds. I’m looking for any and all opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
