    I really liked this wagon, but it's a 96" and EVERYONE voted against it.

    I dunno, the bullheaded part of me thought I could always retire it to load and store hay if nothing else, and it would be something to start with?

    96” maybe?
    Conistoga definitely!!!!

    A 96” conistoga hell no!!!!


    Got a buddy that bought a big bubba just like mine but on 45’. 4 years newer and paid 1/2 what I paid for mine. He loves it!!!!

    That I might try?

    I’m gonna take a WAG and say that a 96” conistoga rules you out of over %60 of ALL flatbed freight?

    A 96” with sidekit is more flexible than a conestoga for sure. But even with a 102” I use to emprovise with a sidekit. 6FE520AD-C2A0-48F2-8840-F54C46B049E8.png

    Yeah but how you going to get home? They usually don’t ship that stuff round trip?

    Lol


    Until you know what your going to be hauling the only good answer is a 102” x 48 or 53 high boy with a set of tarps.

    Knowing what I know now I should of bought a NEW 53’

    Period end of discussion!!!
    In the end the risk is perty low because the good ones hold there valu so well?

    $7 to $800 a month gets you a #### nice new trailer.
