Looks good, I'm sure *** will sell more in the US since RC4WD want's an additional 100$ shipping surcharge.

that looks close to what I'm looking for. the only thing it's missing is a beaver-tail assembly off the back; I think a guy could make one of those. that's one of the first real good looking double-drop lowbeds I've seen in a while.

i think it looks good and seems worth the money considering the alternative of making your own

says manual detatch.....Price is not too bad considering how well it is made

Thats what I was saying some people on the other hand seem to think the price is too steep

The price is not too bad but if you would want to make it a working neck you would have to rebuild the hole neck then I think it is too steep in price plus I see a few other things that for me would need to be changed to make it look proper..

yes the neck is almost useless if intended to make it function. I was looking at this and thinking how could you make it function without cutting it all to ****. I would suspect you could hide most of the workings inside the neck?

I also see that the rear of the trailer has a deck plate (between the wheels) that is kinda high. If you wanted to haul a excavator and tuck the boom into the well the stick might hit that.

Don't see any tie downs but that's just me nit picking. its still a nice product for sure.

However for a guy that has no building skills and just wants a cool looking low boy . this one should fit the bill.

all I use when haul real machines are chain binders over the rail lip to the tracks
I think its a great product for the money as apposed to spending $2000.00 for
another aluminum lowboy
