P1000 What kind of trailer do you use to transport your P1k and what do you pull it with?

Wow, what a setting, and you have a cabin too. Nice trailers, two dogs, beautiful homestead, nice equipment - I think maybe you're "livin' the dream".


Well, thank you very much! You are very kind. I do feel quite fortunate to have many things, including a great wife and family... all the rest is just gravy. Also, having a cabin in the mountains, I just had to get a Burnese Mountain Dog! She is the most awesome dog I have ever had... Big Bernadette... Bubba for short! She won't ride in the buggy :( But if she sat on the seat, my wife couldn't get in. At 120 lbs, I can no longer comfortably pick her up to ride in the back, so she just trucks along side us.

That's why we got the P1-5, so our 120 lbs Airedale, she can get in on her own with one seat open and the rear door open and the two small terriers can go, Yea I know!

Picked up a 7x12 steel flatbed from @JSPEED yesterday, got the electric brakes moved over, 7-Pin connector and box moved over, new bearings, $20 Tractor Supply Winch, and the e-track installed last night. Gonna pick up some 2x’s and make me some sides for hauling stuff in larger quantities than I could with the one I just got rid of.

Sold my old 6x12 this morning, the half gate makes a BIG difference, the 7x12 is heavier and I got @4mpg better than my 6x12 on the same stretch of interstate.

2018 Chevy 3500 DRW 4x4 LTZ Silverado Crew Cab Duramax all blacked out and a 12x7 Big Tex single axle trailer. I hate the Chevy, it's the first one I've owned in years, I've had 10 Super Duty's in the last 20 years and thought I'd try the Chevy. I gave my 2012 F-350 King Ranch DRW to my daughter and miss it!

Well...the Chevy will last at least 20 years so looks like you're stuck with 'er a while! Just kidding. You're right. The only thing worse than owning a Chevy is owning a Polaris. I'll take that POS Chevy off your hands for a couple thousand.

I’d rather own a Polaris, this one can at least go deep.

We still have the Polaris. Key gets left in it “accidentally “ for long periods of time.
Ahhhhh...the old reverse psychology trick! When a thief sees that he can steal it, he'll think "wait a minute...I'll be stuck with this heap." That's a great theft deterrent!

this is bout as small that wil do a good job. 10'x6.5' tilt...13" 6ply tires....2 extra leafs in each spring... was 6' wide so i had to add 6"...angled the front rail forward for 8 extra inches...hav a 16'x6.5' w/ 10ply tires w/ two 6k axles when i need more. the single axle trailer pulls easier w/ pk than the tandem does empty!!

How do you like your Sure Trac? Looked at one last week and really liked it. Looks well built.
Don't mind me jumping in here, but I didn't see a reply to you questions. I haul my P1K-3 with a 6x12 Galvanized Sure Trac. I absolutely love it; it tows like a dream. I'm from Minnesota and wanted something I could pull in the winter without worrying about it instantly rusting away (MN foolishly uses salt on the roads). I was set on getting an aluminum trailer from a different manufacturer until I noticed each one at the dealer was welded by the JV team. Was a little unsure of the rivets until I remembered air craft carriers and 747s are riveted together. I added my own heavy duty D-rings and cut ratchet straps to a custom lengths. With the beavertail-gate I am loaded and strapped down in two minutes, unstrapped and unloaded in one minute, not a second more.

Also, my tow vehicle is a Tacoma
