Picked up a 6x10 trailer last week; had it lettered Friday and put in the shelving today.

Sh*t, heading was supposed to say trailer.

Is that a car mate? If it is I had the same one except it was a 12 footer

No, it's a Wells Cargo Trekker.

Congratulations:thumbsup: I'm sure you'll get busted for not getting larger or tandem, but it's a nice set up.

I see a 7x16 in his not so distant future

Congratulations! Keeping it tidy that will work fine. Looks like some thought has already been made to get it finagled.

Yeah, I did a good deal of planning before building the shelves - as long as I keep it neat I should be good. As far as a bigger trailer...I knew from the start that a 6x10 was going to be a little small but I got a heck of a deal on it. As I was putting all the tools in the trailer I realized that my next trailer would be bigger - the plan is to run this one for a year then upgrade to a 7x14 or 16 and possibly turn this one into a mobile hunting shack.

I have a 6x12 for my gutter machine, loaded with a full roll of coil the weight gets to 1,700lbs and two rolls over 2,100lbs so I went for a tandem axle. It suits my needs and the short trailer is a lot easier getting it in tight spots and my Tundra likes it, considering it's dragged daily that's important.

looks good man. :thumbup:

I also have a 6x10 - wells cargo v nose. and I also have a dewalt slider... I can tell you from experiance that the saw will wear faster if you transport it upright. might want to lay it down while moving the trailer. just a thought...

I left it on the stand because it got shoved in there quick because it started raining - I plan on taking the saw off the stand for storage and hauling.

Keep the bearings lubed well. My mate just destroyed his 7x10 because the bearing seized and snapped the hub off. Trailer hit the road hard and tore off the wheel arch and destroyed the rear end pretty bad. Makes me glad I have a tandem axle.

 

[Chad McDade]

When I started looking for a trailer I wanted to get a tandem; they run more than I was looking to spend but I figured I would just wait a little longer and stash some more money away for it. Then I found this trailer....for the money I couldn't pass it up - I realize that it isn't optimal for what I need but it is better than what I had before. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, I will be upgrading to a trailer that is more suited to the task.

Nice setup. I am looking for a 6 by 10 with a 6 foot interior height and swinging rear doors.
