Hi Mel,
Nice mentions...
I forgot about Boat Trailers, which can often be had cheap,
the smaller ones are light, and can be readily modified to
become Trailers for hauling things in. They tend to be
longer of course than utility Trailers proper...but...with a
little care, may be modified to become the length one wants,
and with the balance one wants. Boat Trailers usually have a
quite long front length from the axel, so, much of that
could be eliminated and still retain a desireable
tongue-weight and balance. Or, the axel can be re-located in
the frame to suit one's plan.
It is not uncommon even for Boat Trailers to be had for
free, if one keep an eye peeled for them, and is not shy
about asking about them when one sees them.
