Hey everyone, I appreciate all the great input. To reply to some of the concerns... I can already taste the salty snack Potato Chip Addiction, and I haven't even bought anything yet. So, yeah. I'll consider myself properly warned. 😄 OMG, would I love to have a full box trailer for the jag! I...

Hey everyone, great advice all the way around, and I agree that a MV trailer is not practical for me at this time, but I like testing ideas like this to see what I learn from them. I've decided to follow my own bootstrapping mantra, and make use of the resource I already have. I own one 7k...

Air over hydraulic means the brakes don't have to be caged, i.e., not like what I'm used to on my Spartan and Freightliner chassis?

The container has serious lockboxes that your typical tweaker isn't getting past. Not that it's invulnerable by any means. A plasma cutter would make short work of the sidewalls, so locks are useless at that point. Still, in the 2 years that gear has been socked away, no one has gotten into it...

In general for this thread, to give everyone an idea how small my tractor setup is (it looks like an overgrown lawn mower 😂), I'm going to attach a photo of everything crammed into the 20-footer. (Not pictured is the backhoe. Not sure where my brother-in-law had that when this pic was taken.)...

That idea was my original starting point. It was hard to tell how bad access was going to be until I cleared at least some of the overgrowth from the culvert. It's really not bad, relatively speaking. Just not good enough to be certain a contract driver isn't going to refuse delivery on me...

Thanks for the reply! I absolutely intend to eventually get the 20-footer moved to my new location. It's a bit of a chicken-egg problem. The container has to be empty to be moved. Also, access to the property is terrain challenged at the moment, and there's no way a delivery driver is going to...

This is all good to know, thanks very much! The only thing I found just googling was the M1061A1, which is a very interesting trailer, but seems to maybe be a bit rare, and the deck height would require a good ramp solution for the small tractor. I was hoping there might be other similar...

Thanks, great question. I have a couple of answers. 1st: I currently have a typical Dodge Hemi Ram pickup rated for 10k towing, but only 2-wheel drive. There are some smaller miliary trailers I can probably get away with towing on an infrequent or temporary basis. (I can also theoretically use...

My first question I have as a new forum member today is regarding trailers, and if there are any recommended trailers I should be looking for. My use case is, I recently purchased land in Navarro County TX; I already own a sub-compact tractor and a significant collection of attachments (JD...
