In Reply to: What trailer should I buy? posted by Dale on Monday, July 10, 2006 at 12:41PM :
I use a Corn Pro, made in Indiana. Mine is a Gooseneck, 20 foot deck with fold up ramps. The ramps can also be stowed under the trailer.
Mine is the Utility model, 82 inches between the fenders. I like the low profile rather than the deck on top of the wheels. However, you do loose some deck space. Corn Pro also makes the same trailer in a drawbar pull model for receiver hitches.
Mine is rated for 12,000# which I feel is needed for a safety marging as our trucks are heavy. The trailer weighs 3600#. I order it with the 14,000 # axles/brakes and tires. This way I have an extra safety margin, but legally its still only a 12K# trailer, The quality is very good, I bought it in 2002, and have put over 12K miles on it so far. No issues whatsoever. Even the Paint is holding up like I would expect on a quality trailer.
I paid $4600 in 2002 with the extra 14K options. If I had to replace it for some reason, without question it would ba another Corn Pro.
You can see pictures of it on my Carryall, M37 and White Ghost albums on my Image Event
