Direction needed on a trailer
I really need a trailer to pull with my Knight hauler, and looks like I am headed the direction of hauling construction equipment.
 I was eyeballing this trailer from PMD http://www.gardentrucking.com/Dropde...14896610140032 , any thoughts for or against this trailer? Suggestions on another? Still hoping to make it to St. Louis if at all possible...

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
If you do end up making it to STL I'm sure there will be plenty of trailers for you to haul around, that way you can get a feel for what you like. You might even leave with one, I bet someone would be willing to sell for the right price
 Alot of guys really enjoy the dump trailers, I know i do. One of those would be something to look into, that way you can actually do work.

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
I would love a dump trailer for sure! I was thinking the same thing about getting up there and seeing others trailers, sure hope I can make it to the meet.

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
tamiya has partnered with carson, i just found these today on the tamiya website. the problem is, there are one of each for you to decide on!
aside from how short it is, this one looks pretty cool! has airbags and all! https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...duct-id=907050 this one has better scale looks i think, but could definately use the "modellers touch". https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...duct-id=907000 im glad to see tamiya bringing some more 1/14 stuff online. we're overdue on a new truck though....

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
How about PMD's lowboy? Much better looking trailer.

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
I like that PMD lowboy, is it the same one listed on gargen trucking as the 4 axle lowboy? I was thinking of having one I could load over the back end as it looks like I'll be starting out my construction business with a track loader but I'm not opposed to a detach either.
That Tamiya dump trailer probably wouldn't be hard to modify into something a little more scale looking, hadn't seen that one!

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
The two lowboys are similar but different, I don't think Ric sells the one listed on His website anymore.
Those Wedico dump trailers are not the best and look kind of funny with Tamiya trucks in my opinion.

Re: Direction needed on a trailer

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
I think the M+J East dump box makes a great looking dump trailer. Some of the custom jobs on here are way awesome too. Not mine, belongs to Sweet Pete Wrecker.

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
I think my m&j box was 500 complete with tarp and bows.Bit it was the longer one . Then you need a flatbed kit 200 and some sort of lifting mechanism 150.It is heavy but mine will lift the body full of rubber no problem and it is a nice looking trailer.I will have mine at eds this weekend

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
Love that one woodhog, and it looks like something you would see around my parts. Quite a few set up to haul grain, then they will pull the bows out and haul rock or lime. That is what I would be shooting for in a dump trailer!

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
Ok, does M&J have a website or distributor to be able to look around? Google not providing anything this time...

Re: Direction needed on a trailer
Here is the one I did Melvin "M&J" it took lots of talking 5 years ago to get him to just sell me the dump he did not want to do it but I got mine and put it together and now he likes to sell them for RC trucks. But here is the deal Melvin is getting old and slow getting out of the hobby so if you want one better build one soon.. I got luck enuff to get the last powder coat chrome one now they are more dull silver.
