I had an 18’ Big Tex with 3500 lb axles that I used and abused for years. Hauled hay, vehicles, moved several time with it etc.
broke the springs once from too many overloaded trips. Tree fell on it and crushed it last year. Bought an 18’ PJ with the 5200 lb axles to replace it. Seems like a higher quality trailer than my BigTex was. I’d have gone with the 7k lb axles but I wanted to be able to pull it with my half ton too.
not much is handier than a flatbed trailer.
