I changed my winch out, its actually worthless,, bought a remote switch so as I'm walking out to my log the cables releasing,, and your absolutely right about the rust on the side rails,, I repainted mine,, thanks for the video
Fred, turns out you were right on the money. I was using the winch to load some logs this summer, not big ones either and the winch started smelling like burning wires. I had to keep stopping and letting it cool down for fear I would burn it out.
A B7100, a Jeep WJ and a small log trailer, I’m definitely taking notes here. Have you guys towed that combo with the WJ? I put mine on a utility trailer behind the Jeep occasionally. Tows pretty good.
We have towed the log trailer around the property with the WJ, but we have not towed the B with it. I think the B and the flat bed trailer I have would be a little to much for it.
@@vermontrockymeadowfarm8164 Id love to see more of the B and log trailer combo on the channel. Its exactly how I'm trying to set mine up for light work on the woodlot.
There's so many companies selling these Chinese trailers. I'm surprised DR can't make their own trailer in the US to a similar or better standard and retail it for a similar price.
I have this trailer. When installing the tub, you simply connect the winch to the front ring, and lift the front about 1 foot then slide it into position, then lower the front with the winch. The boom extends far enough back for this
@@vermontrockymeadowfarm8164 maybe take a couple of long boards like two by fours and lay them in the bottom of that trailer kinda like skids and then slide the tub in and then just pull em out after that
I bought this trailer straight from the manufacturer in china. $830 plus $30 for electric winch. shipping to my door was $1279. Allmost ordered 2 as shipping would only add like $200 to the total. just couldn't afford 2 . love this trailer for my atv
Looks like a great piece of equipment but what a pain in the rectal extremity to get it assembled. You should have read the disclaimer "Assembly required".
You two aren't exactly the smallest boys in the wood, but that bed installation looks difficult. Like you, I am not sure I would use it extensively, but when you need it, you need it. Bottom line question, is it $3k well spent?
You are right, it is not that easy and really takes two people to remove and install. We used this trailer a lot this summer and it really came in handy, but we also had some trouble with it. So to answer your question was it 3k well spent? I guess it depends on if you will get enough use out of it and what else is available that can do the same job and at what cost. For us, I am still grappling with that question and at this point I am leaning toward its a little over priced.
@Dustin Lanphear Unfortunately they haven't been run in a few years. The batteries have been removed and are in storage, but they were old batteries when I got them and will most likely need replacing.
I might just be a girl, but couldnt they have used the winch to lift the bed onto the trailer?
Smart girl. I was thinking the same thing.
You might be a girl, but you’re definitely right about using the winch. It was like watching a Mr Bean sketch.
You guys make it look hard.
The fact that you can't dump the max load is a deal breaker

Thanks for the input Fred. Guess I will plan on changing the winch in the near future.

Thanks, next time we need to do this I will give that a try.
I might be wrong but I think y'all did it the hard way
LOL maybe. I haven't come up with an easier way yet!

Jacqueline, how did you go about ordering straight from the manufacturer?
What was website where you ordered straight of manufacturer?
When you say I don't need no skool...

It gets easier the more you do it.

The first 5min where rough.
painful
I'm going to spend a few minutes reviewing this trailer, after I spend a few minutes getting this trailer back together, LOL
LOL yea that about sums it up! I wanted to show what it takes to install the bed.
@Dustin Lanphear We still have them. Hope to get back to working on them sometime.
