240 bucks for a 4x8 decent little trailer that most crossover SUV's these days could pull, Requires assembly, but with another 60 in lumber and it'd be hard to find a heavily used one on craigslist for that cheap. Comes with title, just purchased one at my local HF.
Good Deal?

Quote from arribasn :
Cheapest is usually U-haul (if you have someone else install) or you can buy cheap hitches on many places online and install it yourself if you are a little handy (generally hitches are much easier to install than say assemble this here trailer)

This trailer is very light duty, the most you'd be pulling is just over 1,000 lbs which even the most basic truck can do.


BTW on this trailer there are tons of online resources to help you assemble. The main warnings are usually that the light grounding is crap, best to run your own ground wire, the hubs are not well greased, best to repack before your first trip, the caster you fold onto are weak and break soon and also the receiver needs a non-standard 1 7/8" so you might have to replace the standard 2" ball on your tow vehicle. Also if you plan on folding I think you can only go up to about 5/8'' plywood and countersink your holding bolts or else it won't fold. Other than that most reviews are favorable if you can bear the 6-10 hour build time and you look at this from a bang for your buck perspective.
How do i repack hubs? What do you mean by countersink? What do you mean by caster? What do you mean by receiver? If non standard hitch how do you replace with 2 inch ball?

I brought one of these and used it once in an emergency to tow my motorcycle home within 10 mins distance, the wheels locked up, ended up grinded half of the wheels and bearings. I threw it on the curb as soon I got home.

Are the plywood precut to fit the trailer?

This is a 4 x 8 trailer. Most plywood are precut 4 x 8. The only thing you need to do is cut the plywood in half. So you have 2 4x4 plywood. Because this trailer can fold up.

I have a smaller hf trailer and my guess would be you may not have packed the bearings with grease??

Thanks, guys. Repped all of you.
You don't need a hitch with this light weight trailer. Just do a bumper pull. Attached a ball to the bumper. About $10.00USD

I'll have to check into how to do that. Is it safe?

Inner city trash destroying the roads because you only cared about getting your bike home. A loser with no friends or family that would help. Get AAA, you obviously haven't any know-how on simple mechanics(motorcycles are simple; trailers are simpler...). Thus why it was an emergency to get your pile home safe in a dangerous manner. POS moron.

Hard to believe, considering in California we usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to fees and prices etc. LMAO
