So ive been seriously thinking about rear mounting my log trailer. This winter i HAVE to do major work to it anyway, such as rebuilding both outer rails, with stake pockets, and a rub rail. Also thinking about a sliding winch track. A partial mesh floor and partial sides for hauling small random rounds. Also add a operators platform that twists with the boom.
So ill be way far into it, im thinking about why not just chop off the simple mount it has, and glue her out back.
Rear mounts are more versatile, ill get an extra 90* of rotation from how i use it now. This would keep me off the grass and easy to load on many job sites.
No, i will not do the final welding myself on structural members. Ill tack everything with tig. Leave the finish structural work for a mobile pro.
This is my trailer, and this is my inspiration.
Anyone forsee any problems i dont see? Ill obviously test tongue weight, possibly move axels. But based off what i see on other that might not be nessesary. I will be limited to hauling over 16' logs, but i cut firewood to 9' or 6'.
