Question

If you are all wondering how to carry something on the back of your trailer, take some inspiration from this guy. I don't think it's something I would do but have to give him credit for trying. Not the best picture I could get but he added a third axle at the rear of the fifth wheel and has about a 6' platform.

Can you imagine how much those rear tires are going to skid on a turn? And the stress on the axle, tires, and wheels, especially if they load up the platform?

An even better solution is an Idaho Tote or swivel wheel trailer.

nOOB question:Is that modification (additional axle) even legal??? :?

My thought was going over dips and putting lift on the rear.  I know if I were backing down my steep driveway to my barn I'm pretty sure the two factory axles would be off the ground.Dan
