Car trailer
With my relative having cancer,she is not sure how long she is going to keep the farm.I have 9 cars and one tractor that I have to do something with.I could try and sell them in Sask or start bringing one at a time and try and sell them here.
I was thinking of goose neck but they are still expensive and I also have to weld in a support frame for my drop down ball hitch.I was thinking a straight pull car trailer.Maybe about 24 feet.Does anyone know someone that is selling a straight pull trailer for a resonable price???

I know Fred reccomends Factory Outlet trailers (I think thats the name) in High River. Thats where he was getting his gooseneck. There is also a guy who brings trailers back from Manitoba for decent prices, but he waits until he has about 6 or 7 on order to make it worth the trip. He also wrecked his truck, so that might be on hold. Contact Fred for the shop in High River's info.

I bought my 7K 18ft H&H tilt deck from FOT in Okotokes. Good people to deal with. Had a few issues with the trailer but at the time it was priced the same new as a lot of people wanted for used, non-tilt trailers.

I bought mine a while ago and they have improved the design since then. 6 bolt wheels insyead of the goofy 5 on 5.75 that I got.
Go for the LED option if its offered, I had to swap out my tailights to LEDs since I kept rattling the filaments out of the bulbs.
The original tires were crap, 205/70/15s load range "C". Burned them off pretty quick. Upgraded to 225/75/15s load "D". Getting much better milage now.
Shell out for a spare tire. 2 buddies of mine bought the same trailer when I did. One got a flat his first trip out with it.

Yeah Dave check out FOT they really are the cheapest way to get one other then driving to the states, mind you when I was pricing them out it would have only saved me about 200-300 bucks driving down to get one.

also spend the extra bucks and get a trailer that has 16" tires, mine has 2 7000 # axles, and also get a tilt deck if you can afford it,, worth every penny,, no rattleing of the ramps, way easier to load, unload dead vehicles
