Re: Trailers

I just had a red Cub Cadet dropped off and the guy used an old U-haul trailer with high bars around the side. I wish I had taken a picture. It looked real sturdy and could haul 3 GT's. He purchased it from them as used. I have a box store brand trailer (to ashamed to show a photo :roll:) that I can ...
