ATV Forwarding Trailer

RD1.0, 12' of reach, 255lbs as pictured. This is with using a slewing bearing, I might use a post and taper bearings instead. The bottom plate alone is 33lbs, both mouting plates have to be made flat after welding, and the bearing lists for $2100 (~$1.5k my cost). Trying to wrap my mind around taper bearing design to figure out how practical that would be.

screw the bearing run a roundstock post inside another round and save $1500

You quoted the text where I mentioned I'm trying to learn about tapered bearings and see how well that would work.
