I once had a trailer that was so bad I wasn’t afraid it would break down. I was afraid it would disintegrate so violently it would create a black hole and swallow the universe.
It came with my property. The white oak bed was 50 years old probably, the running gear was from some home shop and involved an axle from some unidentified vehicle. I do know it was originally used to haul corn out of the field, back in the age of corn pickers according to a neighbor who knew the trailer. To steal your euphemism Farmer, I was pretty sure I could see the air in the tires. But I must admit I didn’t have to top off the air all that often.
I used it a little to haul branches and whatnot. I would also take the church youth group on Halloween hayride, and we can set up scary “points of interest“. So I do have a few good memories of the trailer. I’m damn lucky that all of them didn’t fall through and get run over.
I almost put it up at the top of the road. I’d would’ve put a sign on it saying “for sale: try it free for 10 days. If you like it, leave $100 in the mailbox after 10 days. Honor system”. It was so bad I figured no one would steal it so I let the scrap man have it for $25 back when scrap steel was high and they were coming around. I got rid of my AC All-Crop at the same time. And the deal was he had to take the half rotten bed too. (-:

The Oklahoma large animal first responders is a volunteer group who rescue and care for horses and livestock that are displaced during natural disasters in Oklahoma and surrounding states. They have done a lot of work here with the many tornadoes we have.... Someone broke into one of their rescue trailers and stole some very expensive and unique equipment. I would appreciate it if you guys would spread this across the country so these guys cannot sell this without being caught...
