Those gates are nice, that's going to make it mighty easy to get in and out of.

Let me know what it (trailer) weighs when you get to registering it, just wondering....
I will weigh it just so I know what it weighs empty. Here in Michigan we only have to buy a trailer plate once, it's a permanent plate, so I already have a plate for it. But I will get it weighed.

Had a good test load in the trailer today. 200 retaining wall bricks, 24 lbs each times 200 equals 4,800 lbs. Trailer still had some spring left. It towed well.

Did you have any spring left?
I do, still had some bounce and the springs weren't flat and still had some arch.
The axles are 3,500 each, so 7,000 total, less the weight of the steel frame and wood. I estimate that 5,000 would be a good max payload. I should get it weighed but haven't done that yet.

I think he was referring to you, personally, not the trailer.
