hey, I remember you said you wanted to see a pic when I had the sleds on the trailer and behind the caddi..well, I only have one on it right now, but here`s a pic..LOL
I weighed the tongue before putting the sled on the trailer and it weighed 66lbs empty...
after I put the sled on the trailer it weighed 71lbs..LOL..so I think I`m all set with the tongue weight/worry..:cheers:
but i do have a couple things I`m going to need to do to this trailer..and that is make longer bolts for the tie down bars..these bars are`nt the ones that get low in the center, but rather their perfectly straight, and the lock down bolts won`t reach..but that should be easy enough to fix..I`ll just pick up some longer bolts, and do some welding..
one thing that surprized me, was how easy it was to ride up on this thing, and also, once I was up on it, the front stayed up, and without even using the brake, the sled did`nt slide back/down.(and no the track is`nt rock tight LOL), anyway that was cool, cause I thought for sure, I was going to have to have to prop it up somehow while i rode the other sled on it, but aparently, that`s not going to be an issue either..plus, it was very easy to push it down and throw the pin in..basicaly a one hand kinda deal..
anyway, here`s a couple pics..
