They seem to be VERY proud of their trailers, if price is any indication.
I needed a trailer to carry an ATV, so I went to Tractor Supply Company and bought a "Carry-On" 5X8 mesh deck trailer with loading ramp for $599. I installed a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood to reinforce the expanded metal deck. It is a great little trailer! I have put a couple thousand miles on it so far, half with it empty and half with the ATV on it, and it tows just fine. It does not have brakes, and by law does not need them.
I am not fond of swivel-wheel trailers. Never have been, since I saw my first one nearly 60 years ago. I will give credit where credit is due, though; they are certainly easier to back up than a regular trailer!
