What did you do to your trailer today.

[Aussie Bloke]

G'day everyone,....



TobyS you can send some of that my way if you like,....

Its been in the high 30's to mid 40's deg C here,....

I had my Deuce out this weekend to see about doing its service and it was to darned hot to bother after weeks of it.

If you can arrange for it to be delivered for next weekend, that would be great.

Thanks mate!

Greased all the slack adjusters and S cams bushings. and Installed a rear LED light bar in case someone can't see me again.

Standard red DOT reflective tape on the flat areas will help a lot too.

Pulled my m105 with my diesel wannabe mgator. Really pulled it better than I thought. I dont know how much it weighs but probably more than gator.

 

[Tinstar]

Closed the front and back gates and it was ready to receive empty concrete bags.

We were installing new fencing and it was a windy day.
As we emptied the bags, they were tossed in trailer so they wouldn’t blow away.
Worked like a charm.

Trailer gets painted this summer.

Looks like a full load. Any guesses on weight? Mostly oak

A Lot!

That’s the great thing about these trailers. M101/M105
You can overload them over rated capacity and they come out unscathed.

Amazing trailers!

I think its about 4k is my guess. But all the weight is literally on the axle springs aren't doing anything. Still strong

Laying out design plans to turn it into a welding/shop/tool trailer.

a lot! I filled mine with a yard of decomposed granite. That was about 3000 lbs. the springs were about an inch from the bump stop.

Nice rig Robson. That is a lot bigger hose reel than I used. Looks like you have about 100' or more. Now are you making a cover or is it kept inside?

Not a welding trailer out there, that I have seen, that is this cool. Well done.

 

[Buffalobwana]

I don’t know how much this weighed, but try to find a commercial, single axle, lightweight utility trailer that can do this 15 times in a day.

The tongue on this trailer is light and constructed well. The C-channel with a plate welded on the open side gives the tongue a lot of strength.

Buffalobwana, have you ever made rock walls with stones like that? I bought a (Lowes) small cement mixer just for the purpose. They looked at me funny when I wanted a trailer with 1/2 pea gravel and half washed sand at the pit. I hope your rocks were not dumped out of a loader....dented my dump trailer pretty bad and I learned to put a bed of finer stuff under them.

Hochimin , a member, brought home a M-1101 camo painted trailer to keep his Hummvee company. Maybe he will post a picture of it here today.

A humvee without an 1101/2 is like a dog without a tail.

Toby,

Never built a wall, but I do have a cement mixer that goes on the PTO of my tractor. I have sand/gravel pits on the ranch, so I just buy Portland and mix cement myself.

Well, actually I sit in the AC cab and dump the concrete after my guys shovel it into the mixer. Makes for cheap concrete for small projects.

I used the chassi from a water buffalo trailer to make a dump trailer to haul the sand gravel up to the house.

Now that is a welding Rig! Nice job. Looks great!

fwiw -- the M105 trailer has a 4k (lbs) CCC (corn-carrying-capacity), loaded level with the bed rails
