May be interested in a 12' utility trailer? I see a bunch of brands i know nothing about ranging from $1050 to $1600 plus. What should i be looking for/not looking for, anyone got brand or dealer recommendations. Northshore preferable.

the only planned uses for it would be my lawnmower when needed, i got a 4 wheeler i could use it for. may be useful if i ever get back in a hunting club etc or a golf cart type shite. Nothing really major planned nor a daily usage type trailer.

Square tubing rail is better than angle iron. Pipe rail is better than square tubing.

For that setup, get a 3500lb axle and pipe rails with LED lights

THIS^^^^^^
Get more than you think you'll need because you'll have a single point of failure on single axle trailer.

pipe frame over angle iron if you can do it. I like Tophat trailers, but mfg probably wont matter for as small a trailer as you are talking about. Treated lumber on the deck. Maybe look for tie down points- more the better.

that what i have on a 12x6 for my SxS
it doesn't bounce around like my old lightweight.

When I had my trailer, the angle iron indicated it was a light duty axle. The pipe frame were for the heavy duty axle (3500#). So, like everyone here is telling you, go with the pipe frame and heavy axle, get more than you need.
It is like a truck, everyone will want to borrow and haul heavier stuff than you currently have

Hope you were able to get the trailer you wanted

I don't get why people pay thousands for a new flatbed trailer when you can get a used one for $500. ( I bought a 16x8 flat for $650 and a 8x5 flat for $450. Both on CL)
One needed new bearings. I just bought spares for each.
I too was in the market for a new trailer and then was put on to how many trailers there are in the used market that have barely been used

there are idiots asking withing $100-$200 for really used trailers of what you can buy them for brand new...
been searching for a while and still haven't found a good deal

80% dealer advertisements and 15% junk
Posted on 10/25/16 at 8:31 pm to Chad504boy
I also searched craigslist without any good deals to speak of. I ended up buying a 6x10 angle iron for $999... Hauls lawn mower or side by side just fine.

Its been a few years since I have looked on CL but when I was in the market I looked for several months and could never find a good deal either.
