I totally agree, after researching trailers for a couple years before I retired the PJ offered the most options I was looking for. Namely the split tailgate (not ramps) with expanded metal so I could walk up the tailgate using a hand dolly. The other thing I love is the Ready Rail System. Overall I’ve been extremely happy after 3 years owning this trailer. The only thing I might change would be to get the 82” instead of the 72”. Besides that I wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I hope they upped their Paint/Powder coating on their Trailers. My 06 14k 14ft Dump Trailer, the Powder Coating is coming off in Sheets on the underside. My 21 ft tilt deck is a Corn Pro from Texas. Nice review Tony. Mike M.
Mike, only time will tell🤞 That’s why I purchased a galvanize dump trailer. I’ll put the PJ away for winter and run the dump if I need to. Thanks for watching 👍
Sean, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Naturally you want to buy a trailer as close to where you live in case you need servicing. With that being said I’ve been extremely impressed with the quality and versatility of the PJ trailers. Good luck with your trailer search! Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Dana the PJ “ready rail” system is an awesome trailer feature. It lets me load wood or when rails are removed it’s a car/equipment hauler. Definitely something to look for when looking shopping for a new trailer. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I have a PJ 20' buggy hauler, 106" wide with drive over fenders. I use it for hauling antique tractors to shows and parades, the drive over fenders are needed for the older tractors that are wider. I've had this trailer lot about 10 years and it has been a great trailer.
Joel the dealer I went to did carry the buggy hauler and you’re right they are really nice for wide wheel tractors or trucks. Thanks for watching and commenting👍
Car hauling trailers are great they can haul all kinds of stuff. Over my 25 years of driving I lost track of miles hauling cars, engines (20 to 30 at a time) and other parts with them.
Scott, I am extremely happy with my PJ Trailer. I think the split gate with transition plate is extremely beneficial. Good luck with your modifications Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Great trailer Tony. We have our Kubota for over 10 years and never hauled it anywhere. Probably because we don't have a good trailer! Thanks for the review.
Mike, You know when I used my buddies 16’ trailer I too was afraid to move my tractor, it didn’t have electric trailer brakes and I was probably pushing the trailers capacity. With the PJ trailer I take my equipment (tractor, UTV, firewood) everywhere and it makes my job go much easier. As a one man operation I need to work smarter and not harder. Thanks for watching👍
2 of my trailers are PJ's that I bought at Mirshburger Sales in Chilton!! Very quality built trailers that are reasonably priced!! Only thing I am not happy about is the paint flaking and alittle rust started from our lovely Wisconsin winters and salt!! Stay safe my friend
Hmmm How familiar. HAHAH I have a 14 Ft , 14K PJ dump trailer. Structurally sound Trailer but like You the Power Coat is flaking off in sheets on the underside. I bought Mine off Ebay from a guy in Eau Claire, only had one load of sand in it then put it up for sale, He bought a Dump Truck instead of using the Trailer. mike M Wausau.
Hi Tony, thank you for the in-depth trailer review. I think you have covered more than most people would have thought about, including me. Love the different options you have on your trailer
Adrian we all are looking for information when making a major purchase and want as much detailed information as possible. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Quite pricey for a trailer, but it can do so many things that it seems well worth the money. What sold me on that trailer was in the opening few seconds when saw thet the loading ramps were integrated into the tailgate ramps. Then the extra features of the springs in the tailgates and the customer service you received to solve the problems you've had with it.
Nice job on optioning out your trailer. We have a 24' with 5' beaver tail deck over PJ trailer with a goose neck hitch, rated for 24,000 lbs purchased new in 2005. The dexter axles and higher quality parts are worth it. This trailer has hauled trucks, farm equipment and other items back here to Pa from Texas, Ohio, Colorado, etc with zero issues. The only thing I would have done differently on ours would be a power tilt tail instead of the beaver tail and ramps for more ground clearance in the back and nicer for hauling hay. I was pricing out an 18' deck over aluminum tilt deck and checked current pricing on our trailer it was twice what we paid for it in 2005, the dealer offered us more than we paid for it new. Take good care of your trailer it will serve you well.
It’s amazing what has happened to the trailer industry since Covid. Sounds like you have a pretty sweet trailer set-up yourself. Im glad PJ offers many options to customize a trailer for a persons specific needs. Appreciate you watching and commenting. 👍
Harry as you know since you trailer a lot of equipment, it’s a pleasure to transport something safely and easily when you have a good trailer. Be safe!
Good information on what seems to be a very good trailer by a decent enough company. Good to hear they are making people happy. Pretty good production, good audio but still some camera distance and lighting concerns to work through. That ole Chris still sets the woodyard video standard. Do you keep it in a shed or out in the weather?
Jean the trailer sits outside in the summer and inside in the winter. I find I have less problems in the long run storing inside. Chris is definitely a professional photographer. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TonysCoolTools hi well thats the older mill ,got my finger nails done , while working on the key way , or maybe i should say i hit my thumb with a hammer and its a different color now , take care john
@@fricknjeep jJohn it seems a few other people got hurt in the last couple of days. Reuben from Eart &Bloom smashed his hand on the pusher of his splitter, Chris from in the woodyard crushed his pinky on a log. I think I should just stay home and watch more RUclips videos, seems it’s safer😂 Stay safe.
That's a nice trailer. Thank you Tony for showing this to us. 18ft is easier to back up than a 16ft. Also a "beaver tail" trailer is way better than a straight "flat deck" for the reasons that you mentioned. Price: I think that's a good price for what you got. Time: A month or so is too long if it was being built. I could build one in a week (not counting powder coating). I would say it was on a list of trailers to be built. Especially because of Covid. (they probably wanted to build trailers that were paid for rather than have a bunch sitting around with not the right options on them).? But that's just my guess.
Prior to Covid getting a semi- custom trailer was easy and quick, but for the most part of 2021 most trailer manufacturers weren’t taking custom work they were only doing their most popular cookie cutter trailers. It has gotten better but more expensive. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
That is a great trailer! PJ is one brand on my radar. I can’t decide between a trailer just like yours or a dump trailer. I’m leaning towards a lo profile dump that I can still haul a future tractor on. Definitely like the lower work deck of the car hauler though🤷♂️ Nice vid Tony👍🏻👍🏻TOA
You know Todd I struggled with that same dilemma. There are many factors to consider like how much can your truck tow, what length dump are you looking at getting, how big of a tractor are you looking at getting. Here is what I learned, the dump is good idea but most tractors don’t fit with bucket and any 3-point attachments. The 18’ won’t dump but with the drive up gate loading and unloading wood is pretty easy. Thanks for watching 👍
@@TonysCoolTools Good point Tony. Price is also cheaper. I just thought with the dump I could make a little side money hauling rock. There is a quarry on my way home from work and a lot of people need gravel hauled🤷♂️ It’s a tough decision
You have a Nice Trailer, that can Take Wood, Skid Loader, Tractors, IBC TOTES, The trailer you Purchased, gives you more options of what you want to put on it,
I really liked how, when you drove the heavy stuff up on it, it didn't squat or buck. Some great ramps. Can't say I'm a fan of powder coat, but with the extra prep, it might be a good durable coating. Maybe over the line: I'm not a big fan of the EPA either. I think they're trying to ruin our country. Powder coat, what other real choice have they left us?
Yup I love those ramps, however on grass you have to be careful. It ramps sink in with a full load and you can’t lift and close the gates. Thanks for watching 👍
Yes I can have a grapple and wood chipper and have plenty of room. I’ve had bucket and rototiller on as well. The only issue with the fixed gate over ramps is my bush mower, but for me I don’t transport that much I leave in Richland Center. Thanks for watching 👍
It all depends on the width of your mustang. This is an 72” wide trailer. Also remember since it has the ready rail system the doors may not open really wide. However the ready rail can be remove reasonably easy. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Thats a very well designed, speced, and built trailer! Thanks for showing us this!

I just bought a used one of these ,, great trailer! mine has a one piece gate I am getting ready to cut down the middle and also add the transition to

Yup I love those ramps, however on grass you have to be careful. It ramps sink in with a full load and you can’t lift and close the gates. Thanks for watching 👍
Tony , in my experience there no one trailer that perfect for all towing jobs . That comes close !
Bruce you are 100% correct. I tried to get the most bang for my buck with one trailer and as you said this comes awfully close. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks again
Thanks for watching 👍
Great looking trailer, when your tractor is loaded can you haul any extra implements like a grapple or forks also?
Yes I can have a grapple and wood chipper and have plenty of room. I’ve had bucket and rototiller on as well. The only issue with the fixed gate over ramps is my bush mower, but for me I don’t transport that much I leave in Richland Center.
Thanks for watching 👍

Good trailers, those PJs
Yeah Chris PJ does make an awesome trailer. Thanks for watching 👍
Watching from palawan Philippines, how long the trailer?
Rio, it’s an 18’ trailer.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
👍👍
Would this be ok to have my mustang up to the drag strip?
It all depends on the width of your mustang. This is an 72” wide trailer.
Also remember since it has the ready rail system the doors may not open really wide. However the ready rail can be remove reasonably easy.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Nice video, does this trailer have brakes?
Yes forgot to mention that bit of information. Jean this trailer has electric brakes on all 4 axles. Thanks for watching and commenting👍
