I'll trade you that for the ditch whitch trailor I had in the back yard. ROFL

Beautiful setup.

ive thought about welding a gusset on each side of the winch and if that happened it would press into the wood, im also going to rewind the winch so the cable is coming from the bottom instead of the top just from a leverage point on bending the tubing. most cars will free role and it wont be an issue at all. sometimes im missing wheels or hubs or rearends are locked up and thats an issue, wrecks are the hardest but i think with the smooth ramps it will make it easier than it was. if i woulda had this trailer at your house the sunken wheels wouldnt have been a problem i coulda just lifted it out learning as i go i cant really find anyone that has a setup like mine to copy off of but im hoping for a trial run tomorrow

edit hey frank im trying to remember that trailer, is it long enough and wide enough to haul a car, my 94 cummins is still looking for a car hauler if its for sale that is

If you have the room to build a mirror brace under the frame and bolt them together you should be ok. Yea it would have made it easier to get it out. I started to suggest me yank it out with my truck then you hook onto it.

The H frame in the back was about 1200 lbs and buried in the dirt took a couple of yanks and it was out. If I'd had the tires you had I could have just put it in low and tugged on it

It's all learning, you are doing great.

sometimes im missing wheels or hubs or rearends are locked up and thats an issue, wrecks are the hardest but i think with the smooth ramps it will make it easier than it was.

Maybe set the hub on a piece of 2X6" and with a little grease between them it should slide as your dragging it onto the trailer. Maybe,,,
