It is bigger than I need, but that brand is built real well and the price is good

It looks well built. Joe's trailer has great manners, no jerking and backs great with no wander.

Most of the long bed ones ride nice.. the short ones are a bit tougher to back up

Long trailers always back nice as do semi trailers. I worked for a pup outfit so it was a bit tougher.

Yeah I hate trying to back up a short trailer.. I little turn of the wheel and it goes way off..

A long trailer is easier by far

That they are.

Joe also painted the floor of his with a slick non stick paint for easier dumping. Helped in dumping damp dirt and sand. I don't know what it was that he used.

I had 7000# of rock dumped in it and it didn't scrape it off.

EZ-Slide Alkyd Based Graphite Lubricating Paint

I think it was this stuff.

I don't think it would take repeated dumpings. Probably have to be done every year.
