Draggin Waggons.

So most of you are familiar with my build on my C/30...



Well I didn't do it cause I wanted a garage queen, here is how I am putting this puppy to work!

Trailer 1:





It is a 21' Deck hydraulic tilt trailer with a 8,000 lb Ramsey Hydraulic Winch. It has Twin 8,000 lb axles, but the tires are only good for 3,420 lbs each so it wont be able to carry more than about 13,600 lbs gross.



In other words the next time a brand new POS Ford F-450 bites the dust and they have to put a new power joke in it, I can tow it with my heavy Chevy!

Then I am going to build this puppy.





It is a 2 car hauler triple axle goose neck tilt deck.

Both trailers are going to be built around the same function, they will both be air ride, and they will both be able to dump the air to bring the deck closer to the ground so as that they hydraulics only have to lift about 15 inches to set the rear of the trailer right down on the ground.

The reason for this design is so as that you can easily load and unload the trailer, there will be no messing with ramps or any such garbage, back up to what you want to load and pull it on with the winch, strap it down and go.

The best part is the winch, and the bed tilt will all be controlled with a wireless remote. I think they are going to be a good setup that should serve me well for a long time.

I just thought you all might get a kick out of looking at them.
