Nice job! Love the attention to detail!

Thanks for the tips... I'm in the middle of building my Ironton 5x8

The trailer came out well. I like the built in ramps. How does it do at highway speeds?

[@HMartinFilms]

Thanks for the compliment! It pulls really well on the highway. I took a 300 mile trip hauling a 700lb atv up to 70 mph and never felt any swaying or vibrations.

@@HMartinFilms That's awesome 👌

You have to slow down going up that trailer. You aren't jumping it, and those ramps are really steep. Nice and slow next time with the ATV in 4x4 and low range.

What size tires did you upgrade to?
