I guess I think that's pretty expensive for a '79, with the old style wheels. It does look pretty good, the pictures don't show much rust.

But I think you could do better for $4,500

Local to me, this is a '94 for $4,500. 17.5 tires.

A 99 also at $4,500, that's not as heavy built (I don't know what you're hauling-just a skid loader or a 963?)

I'm sure there's stuff like this by you also, you just have to look for it.
I have thought about buying a trailer like this and building a neck for it. I did this on a smaller trailer and made a gooseneck out of it that was over 20years ago i still use it all the time. I need a 20 foot plus one to start out with.

I had a Trooper come out and assign a new VIN number to a trailer similar to that trailer. I had 500$ into the trailer, and 300 for the VIN number. It has the 8.25 r15 tires, which I think roll offroad well, and being 20ft is super manuverable, old eager beaver I believe. Found 4 new tires someone had for 300 cash. so about $1000 total, had good decking. Finding good rims can be as difficult as finding tires, I had 4 great tires, so found 4 to round out the trailer, if you have no good tires swapping them all out for 17 may be the way to go.
