truckin88 104 #1 Posted April 10, 2014 Just picked up a nice new 6.5x12 cross country from the local dealer. really digging it, already used it to haul lumber for my new back deck. I was between these and sure trac, but the price was right, the dealer treated me better, and I really liked the welded in tie down loops. Still liked some of the sure trac stuff, just couldn't justify a $350 price premium. The pic is from the dealers site when I bought it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,022 #2 Posted April 10, 2014 Nice trailer. I know you pay more for the Cross Country then the Home Depot or Tractor Supply ones but far better quality and durability. Now that I have my enclosed trailer I really miss my open one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,274 #3 Posted April 10, 2014 Those trailers are excellent for moving tractors to shows and etc...plus whatever else you need to haul around. It is also great for all your friends, that you never knew you had, to help move their stuff. You will not be sorry you bought that. Need a sign..."Will move for BEER". 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 23,120 #6 Posted April 10, 2014 Nice trailer. My neighbor has 2 open landscape type trailers but they are box-store cheapies, they get the job done but are flimsy. I have stood on the corner of his bigger trailer and the whole thing twists like the frame is bending. I have a 6.5x12 Big-Tex that has been great!

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,527 #7 Posted April 11, 2014 Nice trailer Will. Looks like the rear gate is a little short ..... Just kidding. For those of you who are not aware, a few years back Will had a trailer with a short rear gate on it that he did a barter with my late father and my old man never let him live it down..... The gate on that trailer was short and tractors would bottom out with a mower deck on them so my old man had to use ramps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
truckin88 104 #8 Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) hey hey I hooked you up with the ramps. That trailer was actually a nice little trailer, some nice features. This one is sweet, spring assit gate, tubed gate, ez lube hubs, high mounted lighting. And the gate works just right. Btw Big Jim and Uncle Bo were some of the best I have ever dealt with. Had a big tex last year, I bought it used cheap and only bought it to flip it, they are nice, but all of the sudden new they are demanding big money more than the other dealer brands, good trailers, love the round tube rail top, built really well. My only problem was the local dealer had the same size trailer and it was $500 more (w/ tax and tags over $2K YIKES!!!), yet they did have IH Red and JD Green, cool but not $500 cool, black is easier to touch up. And I have been WH-less for about a 6 months, dont worry a 312 is on the way Edited April 11, 2014 by truckin88 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,527 #9 Posted April 11, 2014 I picked up a new 6x8 ft from tsc and it come with the round tube top rail which is a really nice feature and wood decking floor. Paid $899 pus tax for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #10 Posted April 11, 2014 Nice trailer Will. A 6.5 x12 would be the perfect size for me. Question is, where did the F-250 go???? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
truckin88 104 #11 Posted April 11, 2014 The f250 is still here, and probably not going anywhere for a while. To many house projects and landscaping projects that I need the truck for. Some are big so thats why I needed a trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
