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.

I pull my quad every hunting season with this trailer. It works great and never an issue. We travel on interstate with no issues. I put 3/4 plywood on the bed and never fold it up as it is too much work and too heavy assembled with the plywood. This is a great deal for the price. Forgot to mention that I also haul 20+ bags of mulch at a time without any issues too during the summer.

Harbor freight isnt particularly close... so Id rather not have to go back or order these things later.

Pro tip: Use Locktite on the threads when you build this trailer so that your axle doesn't accidentally fall off after driving down 15 miles of washboard dirt road on the way to harvest a Christmas tree.

Thanks for the tip!!!

I really hate to be the idiot here, but what does "folding" mean here? I've been trying to figure that out for five minutes, but I can't reach an answer.

I'm limited space, so does this "fold up" when not in use?

the weak link on the trailer is the U channel axle and small wheels. fine for small stuff and just about any car can pull this trailer w/O any issues. Small wheels will cause the trailer to bounce when it is not loaded down.

I have a 4x6 trailer that I pull behind my 05 Camry that runs on propane with no problems. frequently pull motorcycles horse feed or other stuff that does not require my truck.

Yes, it folds up and stand vertically when not in use so it doesn't take up much room

Hey, isugoat, thanks for the response. I was expecting some snarky reply, and I appreciate the straight answer.

For anyone looking for a nice workaround for tagging this in your state, look into getting Maine license plates. The short of it: you can tag this in Maine from any state in the country and it is cheap and easy.

A quick google search can fill you in. I tagged my boat trailer in Maine and avoided my state's crazy pricing and inspection requirements. PM me for contact info of a company that does it on the cheap and comes highly recommended.

thanks! i thought it was a fan-dedicated sight to the HF trailer. impressive uses, for sure. then i realized it's on hf's site... still impressive stuff.

i'm tempted to get it, even though i have no immediate need for it. could've used it several times in the past though!

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.

Did you pack the bearings when you built it? They don't come that way just some kind of Chinese slime to prevent rust. Mine has been trouble free for three years now with regular dump runs.

All this trailer talk is getting me almost motivated to buy a welder, a few gallons of Rustoleum, and finally get around to refurbishing the old Bantam trailer I have sitting out back...
