“Upgrading” to an OLDER Trailer!??? 

Never apologize for Meatball. I love that you have a dog named Meatball and his favorite toy is a ball that looks lik a giant meatball.

I'm with you on the pintle setup. The military has used the same hitch setup for decades with zero problems.

Meatball is the perfect name for Meatball!

Take a lesson from Tuber "Lord Muck", never apologize to us viewers. It's your way of doing things and by us watching and you doing we both learn. Great stories. Narragansett Bay.

Never apologize for a dog! Even though I enjoy your content, animals always make a video better!

" I am The Mighty Meatball. Fear me, you evil orange ball of bounce"

Would be great to see a video of you fixing the trailer up more. Paint, grease, checking brake, fixing hitch position, power wash, etc... love the channel.

Today I Learned: Beaver Tail = fixed ramp. Also: Corn Pro is STILL a funny name for a product or brand. That’s an active Bulldog!

Oh my God I wished I had the energy that bulldog has I guess his name is meatball what a cool dog I've never seen a bulldog with that much energy but whatever he's doing he's doing it right! Looks like a pretty nice trailer for sure oh, and doesn't need much work. That is great! Please stay safe stay well and as always God bless

Haha meatball piled up jumping that ditch in the intro.

A extra inch is everything to a man !! You never know when you might need it.

I love the way Pennsylvania does trailer registration. New York is quite different. You did well with the puschase

You could make a 30 minute video of you playing with Meatball and I would watch 👍

Congrats on the new to you trailer, your bully is hilarious!

Friend finder... YUP LMAO. It sure is! Thanks again Matt!

I'm with you on the removal of that ball hitch. Very nice trailer and a great price.

What amazes me is the tensile strength of bolts. Just 4 is all that is needed on those tongues.

I agree with the pintle hitch thing also, ive grown to love pintle hitch setups.

Glad to see you got the new trailer you needed. I love your dogs. Meatball really seems to enjoy that ball.

Ahh yes the old hip bump trailer lineup I've done it a million times

Love how you take the time to give your pets some attention.

Very nice trailer. One nice thing about putting the ring hitch style coupler is most people dont have a pintle hitch

Yeah, looks like Meatball has tons of energy and keeps waiting on you to kick the ball. He looks to be perplexed why you aren't kicking the ball constantly for him. :) Love the new trailer and video's!

Watching your doggie chase his ball with breakneck enthusiasm is very satisfying! What a great dog! Nice trailer too!

Love the deck over trailer , I'm like you don't really like fenders even with a car trailer. And the lunette ring is way strong for the connection but I would run a 2 5/16s ball to. And yes I like wider ramps I also like the ramps to fold over the dove tail so you have the full length of the trailer flat if you need it. Great buy.

Love meatball just goofing around while you are fixing the stuff for the hitch, he's a, fuzzball

You should have more Meatball in your videos! He's awesome! 😄 Great trailer btw! 🙂

I love your videos , I never know what I'm in for but never a disappointment. Thanks for sharing.

That's a full-time job keeping meatball going chasing that ball

Nice trailer. Congrats. In you application pintle hitches make more sense IMHO. There is a reason the military uses pintle hitches.....quick to connect and strong as can be.

That bull dog and giant ball obsession is hilarious! I love watching him lug it around everywhere. He's quite good at it. Lol

Enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing. That hitch is actually called a lunette eye. The part on the towing vehicle is the pintle hitch.

you can spray rust blocker paint on the undercarriage to keep it 20 years. Great video. Thanks!

love that dog the way she chases that ball

I love the boundless energy of Meatball! He's brilliant! Sadly, my only knowlwdge of trailers is from the UK, and no help to you at all! :-O

I bought a similar trailer to yours about a year ago . I bought a Kaufman trailer 16,000 gvw. For the most part I like my trailer. I don't care for loading my skid steer on to it. I did a review on my trailer on my channel a while back of pro's and cons. I prefer a ball mount to pineal ring. Enjoy your trailer and thanks for sharing .

Awesome new trailer great buy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You'll love those tires! I have them on all mine and the same ply as my semi tires.

Nice trailer Matt. Great Video!

Your pup is hilarious. Sooooo cute!

New trailer looks and works good. Anxious to see it used more.

Really enjoy attention to detail you give equivalent.

Meatball needs his own channel!

I love this channel, thank you for all the videos keep up the good work

sweet trailer.

Kool trailer!! Will work well. Luv the dogs also

You can use a plate of steal bigger over the other part they actually sale them again love that trailer I used one like that for over thirty five years you got a great deal thumbs up

Hitch is only as strong as the bolts holding it. Looks like its about time to get some new Grade 10 ones for the truck side.

Great trailers, Great videos........

Enjoyed video. Nice trailer. Roscoe likes his ball!!!

Meatball!!!!😍

Great work thanks for the awesome content

Meatball. Opening with a fine ditch face-plant. Nice recovery though. Oh, and a nice trailer too. 😊

Cool trailer:) I'm still dying laughing at meatball!!! Cool deal on the registration!:)

I didn't subscribe for Meatball content but I wholeheartedly approve!

we dont see them this side of the pond but I think you have had a good deal there Mat well done I am biting at the bit to get back on the farm with my big toys

Great trailer choice!

grats on the new trailer. Looks like a good one.

Looks like a well built trailer from what I can see.

I much prefer a pintle hitch too. I plan to put one on the White 4000 Semi tractor I'm working on on. It has a wet kit and I'd like to put a lift and flat dump bed on it, then hang boxes under for compressor & welder and use it as my utility/service truck. With a pintle hitch I can pull my brothers extra equipment trailer behind it. There's no telling what I'll drag home LOL. I always enjoy seeing what you're up to. Look forward to the next one.

Beautiful trailer Matt , plus a good price !

MATT, great video. Thank you.

just makes sence, thanks for the video

every trailer i bought i have had to strengthen everyone especially under and above the axle area's on the frame check for cracking around those area's

No whatsoever experience from this kind of trailers, I live in Sweden (Europe) and brakes on trailers below 7716 lb (3500 Kg) are usually just applied by back-pressure thru mechanical linkage as trailer pulls on the truck. Electrical trailer brakes here have usually a pressure sensor mounted at that ball hitch, however those are not commonly used now days. Anyone that can give general basic info about this type of trailer brakes? I am just curious. Lived in Wisconsin for a while in 2009, got the impression it was OK to haul most things with no brakes or registration on trailer (had an old boat) no memory of even seen a boat trailer with brakes... Grate videos you make, AutoCar truck is my favorite, maybe Meetball will get a ride in it some day...

Your helpers are back! Nice!

I agree on the pintle hitch

I have an Appalachian gooseneck trailer. i think it is a 2003. I bought it 1-1/2 years ago to go to NJ to get a press brake. I do not use it regularly but it seems like an OK piece. Thanks for the video.

The new trailer looks good. Only a little surface rust to get sorted. You did good Matt.

👍🏼trailer looks great

I know I'm late here but Id chacne all the lights to LED's and add a couple of 6"LED Led Housings up front on top and maybe a couple at the rear (if not underneath ) for load and unloading sometimes ya just need the light! Those ramps I'd just get some angle iron of the size (or just wider to overlap) used there, cut what you got down the middle and cut some 10 in lengths, center them (over lap the 2in on each end/side) and weld them on both sides (top and underneath should be plenty strong).

(I know this is on an old video but I’m on a DC binge) but we bought a 22 foot iron bull tilting deck over. We threw a 25k ball on there and it’s the greatest ball hitch ever. It has a flared coupler and a super nice latch. Always have used ball hitches but once had a rental trailer with a pintle, but yeah this turned out to be a good purchase.

I think that was a great buy nice trailer

going to work out well

I like the trailer , where you live looks very nice , lots of nice scenery

Meat ball is quite a smart dog. Cute. I like him.

Had several different trailers when we were in the construction business . Basically all of them trailers are built pretty much the same .

Man your truck sounds good!

Use CRC rust converter on the underside of the trailer and then coat that in RP-342 "heavy" it works amazing... I did my truck frame like this and it has yet to start rusting again and i live in MI and drive it all winter long.

Such a big ball for a little dog but looks like he loves it.

3:35 Holy crap! In Massachusetts, I pay 140 annually to register my 8000 lbs trailer. I wish I could go up to Maine to register my trailer but taxachusetts made it illegal to pull out of state registered trailers behind Mass. registered vehicles.

I upgraded from a homemade flat deck trailer that was about 15ft 6in long and only about 5.5ft wide to a beavertail car mate 18ft car hauler a couple years ago, and it made a world of difference! properly build and weight distributed trailers handle so much better.

Nice trailer. Hope to see some more autocar videos soon.

His dog made my day

Good purchase

I think you should call that "OLDER Trailer" the "Party Wagon," you know every time you pull it will be a Fun. DAM wish I could get a permanent tag for my car, I have to usually cough up $120 every year.

Imma be that guy and say that the ball/pintle debate is irrelevant because 5th wheel is where it's at for heavy pulling. Also +1 for meatball. Reminds me of when my boy was young and energetic.

Back in the "good old days" when I worked for a living, pistol rings were all we used industrially.

That’s what we say in Minnesota, GUTANTITE !!!!!!!!!!! All the Norweigns in Minnesota !!!!!

Subbed. You seem to know what you're doing. I like that.

I don't know why but I've thought about this a lot. You could get a converter dolly to tow the low boy with your dump truck. I know weight ratings wouldn't line up exactly but it's just a thought. Also I kept chuckling to myself since you had a pintle hitch and another adjustable hitch in the chain box talking about drilling holes in your hitch plate and I was like "no other combination of those hitches will work?" I do know curt has some beefy wildly adjustable hitches with interchangeable towing attachments that can be had from Amazon as well

Nice trailer, Matt and I LOVE Meatball; he is gorgeous

Good price on trailer looks good sir.

Meatball is so cool and makes me smile. I want one like him lol.

He loves that ball!

great trailer

love that dog and the name meatball great deal on that trailer

Looks like a good investment. A guy always needs another trailer. Goes well with "another" tool box...or another truck...just needs a fresh coat of gloss black Rustoleum all around and under. PA rust belt and all! 😉👌👍

WV has the ssme permanent tag on trailers.

Nice outfit and seams like a good value. The Meatball is awesome.
