So your looking at a trailer rated to 21,000 pounds. Is this just an open interior with fuel tank and water tank only. The price of 5K seems ok for this trailer but here are my reservations. This is going to be a heavy trailer and do you need to carry that heavey of a load and do you need a 20 foot long trailer. I'm thinking you could buy a 16-18 foot pace type enclosed trailer with a double axel or a single 6000-7000 pound axel cheaper. Not as much trailer but if you don't need that much trailer, the extra will just be a burdon and take extra fuel. Look on Ebay and you should get a good idea of what they are going for especially if you look in the completed listings. Another place to look is in the truck trader or other title by same group. One of their magizines covers trailers for sale. They are avavilable at most convience stores. As far as water and gas goes, the farm suply stores sell tanks real cheap. Ebay has 42 gal new fresh water tanks for $100 including shipping. Just some thoughts. 5k is a good buy on that trailer.

I came across this by accident.I have the flat open trailer but always thought about an enclosed one.The ones i have seen all had low doors and because of the height of my trooper with the cargo rack on top it would not fit.Its an open interior with a removable/adjustable ramp that the trooper can be driven up on thus giving more room under it for storage or a couple quads should i ever get anymore toys.According to what i was told the trailer itself weighs in at 3,500lbs.

From experience as I just sold my triple axle trailer. Triple axle stops, pulls & tracks great even in the wind. On the bad side, the rear axle scrubs the tires every time you make a turn. Over time it tears the tire apart. Trailer tires do not hold up to this or heat & speed. I went thu 11 tires before I finally bit the bullet and upgraded the rims to 16" so I could run LT Pickup/Truck tires as I was very heavy also. Then the problem seemed to have gone away. Sold the trailer after that. Only downside I know of, just watch the tires. If you go on rv.net in the Toyhauler forum you will see all the post of others & ME.

We got a sweet deal on a 26' enclosed trailer. So much nicer than the old open trailer. In addition, you can sleep in an enclosed trailer.

Here's my build

      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!

      So here is my dilemma, I bought a 2014 Massimo MSU500 eleven years ago from TSC, its never been off the farm, had my share of ups and downs with it but never walked back to the house. I have bought a Kubota Sidewinder and it is a fine machine.Problem is I just dont need the Massimo and would like to sell it but the last thing want to do is sell it (cheap) to someone who doesn't realize what a POS a Massimo  can be and can't afford to maintain it.  I plan to put it of Craigslist with pictures and description, not sure how to warn potiential buyers without scaring them away.  I feel like it could be a great buy for the right person or a terrible buy for the wrong person.  I'm thinking $2500.

      I'm 99.9% sure head gasket is blown.
      Don't have coolant in oil. That a good thing. But think coolant is getting in combustion chamber. 
      I did compression test.
      Got 120psi walked away. Came back to 105psi 15 minutes later.
      How hard is it to replace?

      2021 Hisun Axis 500 UTV (From Lowes)
      Will NOT START
      MY apologies if this is to much info just wanted to give yal the most information possible for help.
      I'm a so called diyer. An Electrician by trade 21yrs. I got my S×S from my last job. The contractor purchased this S×S for this specific job brand new, from Lowes. They used it for hauling materials, tools, & a little bit of anything you can think of on an Industrial type job site. 
      I remember getting on the SxS one time & pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor & SxS had very little power. 
      So anyway ,when the job finished up back mid July this year (7/2024) , I asked the contractor what they was going to do with it. I was told to take it. Otherwise it would go to the contractors yard (storage yard) & most likely rust away. 
      Took it home washed it , it had a heavy coat of dust on it & in it dust was every where. My helper & I had to push it on the trailer to get it home.  After washing it throughly I let it sit & dry out for a good day and half, maybe 2 days. Before trying to start it. NO START. Will turn over & try to start but thats it. 
      So here's what I've purchased & installed. New Air Filter, new spark plug, new air idle control valve (AICV), new throttle position sensor, new throttle body, new oxygen sensor, new digital dash speedometer/fuel gauge/clock. 
      Also drained the old oil & gas & replaced with new oil & 93oct. gas. I should probably mention that I've changed the AICV twice. The 1st time I changed the AICV I was able to get the SxS started & let idle for at least 10-15min. Drove out of the garage, with very little power,  turned it around & barely got it back in the garage.That was the one & only time I've been able to start the SxS. I've also cleaned the Throttle Body and & intake with TB cleaner.  So after that the AICV was  making weird noise so I pulled it out & tried cleaning it, pretty sure I messed it up. So I purchased a Throttle Body that came with new AICV & TPS. Still NO START.  I've checked the fuel pump & the fuel injector.  I took the injector off still hooked up to wiring & turned the key over, the injector sprayed a lot of gas out kinda the size of a volleyball. I've also checked the clearance gap on the intake & exhaust valve. But today 11/2/2024 I'm going recheck spark plug gap & the valve gaps. And alot of other checking. Would the driver side seat belt have anything to do with it not starting?? I know the driver side seat belt has to be in gauged for full throttle "going fast". Thing is the drv. side seat belt will latch but feels like might be messed up inside of it. Tired opening it up but to no avail.  I've never had a S×S or 4wheeler so I was really excited when I got the S×S,not so much anymore.  I work on & fix my own vehicles usually no problems.  But this SxS is kicking my ass.
      So if possible & someone could help me with some ideas or tell me what Im doing wrong or did wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for reading thus far.
