Santa brought me a toy for gathering wood.

I had told a friend years ago if he ever was getting rid of this to let me know. Its a 2007 Cargo Mate 10,000lb with an 8,000 lb remote operated winch mounted inside the bed. It was used for snow removal for its entire life so the Michigan salt had taken a tole on the paint. We repainted the entire trailer top to bottom and I bought a Dexter axle suspension rebuild kit which included much heavier straps and greasable pivot points with bronze bushings instead of plastic.
Santa has about $1650 into this thing all together including purchase price and supplies.
Excited to try it out but also waiting until the roads are dry to try to keep as much salt off as possible. Been researching them on here for a long time so I figured it was time to jump on the bandwagon!dump.JPG side.JPG shackle.JPG

I like it, except the sticker. You spelled Husqvarna wrong. :surprised3::p

What's the bed length?
 
Looks good. Is that a tool box or just a step on the side? Joe.
It has steps on both sides on the front. The drivers side has ramps pinned above the fenders to haul my tractor.
Steve its kind of an oddball. Its 6x12 inside the bed. Most of the 12 footers nowadays are 7 ft wide.
