Thanks! It's a 5x10. I really need a bigger one, but converting it to SSQA will help me get by for a bit longer. I'm thinking a 16ft one, probably 84" wide, though I'm still looking. Trying to get things paid off before I drop $3k on a different trailer. The tiller is a 54" one so it only has an inch or two of clearance on either side. I had to take the kick stand off to give it a bit more. Now the ramp is bending and I need to reinforce it. Problem is I also haul wood pellets home, and a lot of the newer trailers have ramps that don't come off. Or they're so heavy I wouldn't want to try taking them off. A ramp like that always gets in the way of a forklift trying to load a pallet. At least being able to take the bucket off means I can get a few more jobs done while I figure out what to do.

17' ft Glastron that has been in my family since the late 70's. Trailer with boat and misc stuff in the boat totaled ~2500 lbs. Towed it ~700 mi from Ohio to Georgia averaging 75-80. The 2.7 kept wanting to go faster and still averaged better mpg than the '04 Ram with 5.7 hemi I had previously could do unladen on the highway at 65.
