Great video. No BS, no fluff or filler blabbing for 10 min. Just buying, fixing, and going over what you have into it. This is the kind of video I personally love and you definitely got a sub our of me haha
I appreciate watching someone that wasn't a hack job. It seems like every other guy that does this for views just half-butts it. LOL This was a great video. The breakdown at the end was very informative. Almost no one does that. It was neat to see the breakdown of the project cost and a real analysis of your labor rates. Did you HAVE to get the rim from them? Was there no place cheaper to order that rim from?
I appreciate that! When I shopped around for the wheel it was actually the same price to get it from PJ because I was already on the hook for shipping the oversize fender. If I was just buying the wheel alone, yes there would of been better options
PA tags, right? I subbed for that! ...I'm a contractor in philly, those dump trailers are VERY desirable...They can get expensive. 10K for a newer one is not unusual.
We purchased a used 2018 14k 7x14 PJ dump trailer for $10k earlier this summer. Seems like a reasonable price for a 10k trailer. Especially considering it is basically brand new still!
How are you liking your Skat Trak Skidsteer? I have had one for 12 years now here at the Farm. Havent done much too it through the years. Wheel Bearing and foot Control Cables..Nice dump.. I also buy and fix trailers also
I love that thing. Super simple and reliable. Half the time I’m using it as an off road fork lift and the other half is moving stone and dirt. I have a couple videos on it. Is yours a 1300 too?
@SpankRanch Garage Mine is a 1500D I believe. I can not do without it. I have extra long forks off an old fork lift. I use the all time. I just bought a really nice used Hull 14' Gooseneck Dump Trailer. I can now load my skis steer and take to the creek down the road and load and haul some Gravel. I have a good Mech. Book for it. If you ever need to know something. I could take pics of pages and send ya.
Yes it was okay, just dented in the corner. Good point though. It is important its square so the box lowers correctly back onto the frame after dumping each time.
I ended up keeping it and use it more than I thought! Hauling the skid steer, hauling stone, hauling scrap, etc. A lot more handy to have than I thought.
Appalachian trailer right in PA sells a 12' 12k brand spanking new dump trailer for $8100. Yes it's not the same brand but what makes the PJ $3,000 more? The name?
That's a great question. I am sure the name carries a lot of unnecessary cost. I am familiar with Appalachian trailers they seem to get the job done just fine. You would really have to lay under them side by side and see who built a better trailer. I have no brand loyalty to PJ. I guess the best thing I could say about them was their parts availability was really nice when I could buy a replacement fender and all the weld brackets. Thanks for the comment!
I’ve never looked at an Appalachian but I can tell you if you ever compare 3 trailer brands close up like big Tex, PJ, and Moritz there is a huge difference in the way they build their trailers. Big Tex likes to use thin metal and cheap parts, PJ uses thicker metal and average parts, Moritz over builds the hell out of every aspect of their trailers and makes things convenient as hell. Moritz uses flex ride axles where as others use leaf springs, the battery compartment has two stories so you can use. It as a tool box as well. Just all sorts of stuff like that is why some trailers cost more than others.
Great question. Maybe PJ could have. I already registered it and did the reconstructed title so its kind of late now, but 14K would of been awesome. Less trips to the quarry that's for sure.
Ive never understood copart. You pay an annual fee to even bid on anything. Then they attack you with more fees after you win. Knowing they are making money off the sale as well as you.
I agree, they are expensive as hell. You really need to keep all the fees in mind when bidding. I made a table in excel with all my out the door costs. I pick an out the door cost then work it back to see what I can actually bid on something to make it worth it.
I purchased my 14K 14’ gooseneck dump trailer from Texas Pride Trailers in 2020 for $6,950.00 I can’t believe how much the inflation has hit everywhere. Elections have consequences.
I bought a 2014 in 2018 for $6800, new one in Alberta Canada now starts at $11k I’ve seen optioned out for over $20k my trailer if I through it on Facebook would fetch $8k same day it’s mental.
@@bigboreracing356 Believe it, the Biden administration shutdown the country and stopped all production causing supply shortages. The shutdown was unnecessary just look at Florida they stayed open and they have better numbers than a lot of other states that shut down. Now you see people flocking to Florida moving away from idiot governors. So yeah elections have consequences and sounds like you’re part of the problem voting for Democrats.
"Elections have consequences". Yeah people voted in an orange moron who pretended that a global pandemic wasn't real. Funny how MILLIONS of people being dead effects material prices.
What an idiotic comment to make, what does the election have to do with a worldwide pandemic which caused more of a demand for products than there were supplies? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ the irony here is that you vote while not knowing the effects of the global market. You don’t see past republican vs democrat. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@spankranchgarage no heat usually. Put hubs on axel put on,set hubs on jack stands,rotate axel and measure between hubs. You will see the bent area and how much. Use a press to straighten keeping in mind trailer axels have a camber setting. On a car or truck use heat. Takes some time and skill but I have fixed lots of them.
Sorry, but this is NOT a used trailer! 🤬 This is a salvaged trailer! Should have a salvaged title. You do NOT sale this as just a used trailer. That's 💯% unethical..
@@spankranchgarage you can't sell it as a regular used trailer with basic wear and tear. That's the unethical part. Imagine buying a used vehicle that had been "reconstructed" and sold at a fair used price. If someone did that to your kid you'd demand the funds back for deception. You have to let them know and sell it as reconstructed, which doesn't yield normal used rates.
