Around here the only downside for all your great work and updated wheels is a higher likelihood of it getting stolen. My friend just lost his 16 ft trailer out of a fenced yard, and despite having two locks on it. He wasn’t paying rent as another buddy owns the fenced lot.

Looks great Brian.
No one really tries to steal my trailers here. But they have been VERY interested in their batteries. Found the big black box patially raised on morning. Guess they needed tools.. Moved the trailer pronto where I have better surveillance. Anything 1/2 way down my drive or better is subject to meth heads. Chipper been siphoned 2x. Just 5 gal each time. So I guess that was their can size. Tractor once. Sign of the times.

I have been locking the hitches more if I feel they are too visable on a job site.
Of course the battery boxes.
That bit me in the ass once.
The starter positive cable shorted.
Lead poles melting in the battery box. Smoke everywhere.
Almost burned the chipper.
We unlock before use now....
