I can, but I am 6' 4", 6' 6" in boots. I cannot quite get the bottom in the center without leaning, but it is a perfect height for loading IMO, I would not mind 4 in lower, but I love the ground clearance, that was the selling point for me. I take it off road a lot. I found it easy to climb in and out of, just foot on top of the tire, grab the bed side and heave yourself in.
Right, I'm just east of where they were doing the majority of the assembly of the hummers. I see those all the time, but i can't see it being much use to me. They are to high and to short which equates to to hard to load unload as well as not enough room to get a load on which means it would be bouncing around to much and it would be a pain to back up with such a short wheel base. Tell me if I'm wrong, just what I'm guessing based on my experience with trailers.
I really wanted to grab it up, but no hitch on the accord wagon lol. I thought long and hard about it and just might come back down for it if it's still available. We are at the inlaws so it would be a 3hr hike for it so I would want to find something else to buy to bring the cost of the trip down. I figure its 5x8 and with 4' sides it would haul 160 cubic feet which is about what a full cord dumped in takes. Throw the wheelbarrow on top and it would be pretty easy to get around with.
They are hard to back up compared to a 28 ft, but I can also back the thing without issues. I use it 3 times a week and I learned to back a trailer with one. The short wheel base means I can get it in tight places too. High means it has ground clearance, if I can fit my truck I can drag the trailer. Ive put a half cord in it no problems, and I think the height is fine. Lower and easier to load then a pickup. It has good shocks and does not bounce like you would think. They are a niche trailer. I can see why you would not want it, but for me they are perfect. By my math this year I have moved about 100k-120klbs of wood in mine since I bought the thing last year and put about 5000 miles, maybe a little more, on it hauling various things. I like that it uses bearings the size of a Dana 70s and truck rims and tires.
Surge, work surprisingly well for what it is. I dropped one leaf out of the pack and reassembled them. It did not lower it much, but it did help. I plan to put it back together and just flipping a drop hitch upside down when I get around to it.
Luckily they cut easy and aren't ivy!
So computeruser agreed to come out and witness the SS in action. Which is nice cause we can split right off the trailer.
Small utility trailer is for the shorties and oddballs, tote is for stackable wood. Worked well and 2/3 of the trailer done in about 1.5 hours which includes shoring up my new shorties bin and stacking the 2 totes we filled.
