Better late than never.....

I bought a couple new toys last year that I have been wanting to do for the last few years but the timing wasn't right. Now I just need to buy a piece of property so I can build my new house.

Bought the trailer I have wanting for about 4 years. 24 foot 14k Loadtrail equipment trailer.



Out with the old


In with the new. 2022 LS M3-40.

That’s a nice trailer!  How’s it pull with the half ton? 

I don’t know much about the tractors but it looks warmer to run than my 63 Ford 2000.  Haha

Thanks Mike! It tows surprisingly well but I can tell it's behind the truck even empty and it's a little nose heavy but it's nothing a set of air bags won't fix. The tractor is basically a New Holland Boomer since LS makes all of New Hollands smaller tractors.

Nice. I have trailer envy.

Me too.  But I want an 8.5 x 24 enclosed trailer with the extra 12” of height.  My SxS barely clears the door.  I actually broke my GoPro mount off the roll cage.

Man, that looks like a lot of trailer for a half ton! That said, it also looks like a really well made trailer. I see you didn't get the Snard Generators though.

As for the tractor, are what ever happened to the no cab look? Are we getting older and need heat (and A/C) now?

It's a Tank of a trailer but only weighs about 4500 pounds empty and a little nose heavy but it's not too bad. I also don't tow very far or often anymore. And yes I freely admit that I am getting older plus my hands and feet don't tolerate to cold well anymore after being frostbitten a few times.

I did buy one of these and I am wondering why I didn't spend the money sooner. My back thanks me!

Looking at that gizmo, I'll feel so inadequate hand cranking the manual trailer jack on the boat trailer next summer.

If you lived closer I'd let you borrow it for a weekend to see how much of difference it makes in ride quality.

So I thought you could inflate the bag to lower the ball so you could then bring it back up again.  But looking at it, I think it’s just a shock absorber for the hitch.  I can see the value in that but a little disappointed I still have to crank the jack. 


FYI, Tom, I’m not too old for an open cab tractor yet.

Thanks for the offer, but my boat is so light that you can almost one hand the tongue weight. I'll bet on a heavier trailer it does wonders though!

Awesome! Is that the 3-cylinder gas motor one? If so, we still have one of them at the marina.
