Ned, I need a 20t trailer. How much you want for yours?
Maybe I wasn't clear, so here goes.
There were no rings for the wires to hold them from being pinched.
The push-in grease fittings were on the tilt points, not the springs.
I never complained about the paint under the trailer, THE D RINGS ON THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER WERE NOT MOVED WHEN PAINTED. They sprayed right over them, when I got the trailer the D-ring's were un painted on one side and the place on the SIDE of the trailer where they were sitting was unpainted in the shape of a D-ring.
I guess I should have just expected the tilt deck to not tilt because it was misalligned and the fenders that nearly rubbed on the right side tires because the fenders were welded in the wrong position?
The salesmen didn't push me to a trailer that they thought I needed, I went in with a list of what I wanted and they wrote it up, money was no issue. They assured me this was a HEAVY DUTY trailer designed to last for years of COMMERCIAL use.
I have dealt with this Kubota/Stihl/Trailer dealer for 10 years. In that time I have purchased 2 tractors, a dozen 3 point hitch implements (bushhogs, rototillers, flail mowers, pto generator etc... etc...) , chain saws, power brooms, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, tools, 3 trailers (not Cam's) and about 20k in parts and service from these guys. They are well aware of my operation and what I have for equipment, as I am there at least once a month buying something. The entire business knows me on a first name bassis, I thought I was part of the "family".
This is a 7 ton trailer. It was built as a 7 ton trailer, they rated it for 7 tons. I asked and they offered to tag it 9999 to avoid hassles from DOT, as they know I'm not maxing it out and would be hauling it with a 33000lb gvw truck, thus avoiding a need for a class A licensed driver. If you look around and do any trailer shopping you will find this is what trailer manufacturers do to help customers with DOT. I asked for an overkill trailer, they took my money to build me an overkill trailer.
Like I said before, I could buy a 5 ton Hudson for $2495, I paid $7000 for a Cadillac that would last for years, I don't think anyone will argue that I got a Yugo rather than the Cadillac I was promised.
The oil has leaked out, and they aren't sure how to refill the system without their pump set-up .
