Trailer seemed a bit long.
It was 10 ft.long with a 4ft.tongue.If I left it that long,I would have had to move the axle rearward a foot or so.
The weight distribution was 40/60.Needless to say,it was arse heavy like the kardashians,LOL.
Since I needed it shorter( to fit in a 10x10 area) I figured,heck,just chop off a 3ft section(roughly 150lbs) and move the 120 up14-16inches and viola,all problems solved!
Worked like a charm!
Gotta admit,last weekend I took the beast(before I cut it) to visit my parents,about a hundred miles away up the interstate.
Remember,it was rear heavy,so I loaded a couple bags of charcoal,2 cinder blocks,a bag of firewood bought at the grocery store and a couple pressure treated 4x4s on the front and that seemed to even out the weight.
Gotta say I was pretty impressed with the way it towed.stayed pretty straight and true,no swaying.Was worried about that because it still has the 12" tires on it,but it pulled very easy.No problems at all.Well,except for the flat tire I got on the truck JUST as we hit our exit,but hey...
Here's a pic of how it sits at present.
Thanks,but it was guys like you who inspired me,gave me motivation and more importantly,gave your experience to me,that allowed me to undetake a project like this.
I didn't have the money,didn't know how to weld,had no tools....
But WE got it done.
Thank you everyone!!!
