My 4'x7' trailer from Tractor Supply review...

So far it has been hauled all over New England and also on a round trip to Albuquerque NM loaded with about 700 pounds.

The tires still look new.

The wheel bearings have never been warm or loose.

The floor was mesh but I installed a sheet of 3/4" P.T. plywood over that.

The tail lights failed early and were replaced with submersible LED lights.

My experience with the same LED lights on my boat trailers taight me to seal where the wires enter the back of the light cases with silicone RTV sealant.

I also replaced the plastic license plate bracket with an aluminum one. Utility trailers are often backed into curbs. The aluminum bracket can be bent back. The original plastic one can snap off leaving you plateless.

My only real gripe about this trailer is the ramp.

It is captive.

I would prefer the ramp to be removable but the hinges are welded in such a way as to prevent that.

The trailer was on sale in the spring.
