Wish I had seen these before I bought mine. I love how the box is made like a dump truck, much lighter than the ones with cross members everywhere, like mine.

Awesome Trailer! Southland Trailers make a solid product.

[@jonesmachineco]

I’m over a year with mine…and I love it.

The wheel wells are junk and every one I have seen around town has the wheel wells sagging. It then creates cracks everywhere at the end corners and center as the saggy metal flops up and down as you drive. I had to weld all the cracks and added a 1x1 square tube center support off the shackle/hanger mount up to a plate welded to the bottom of the wheel well, then it was 100% fixed. In the end if they are going to keep using less than 1/8th" wheel wells they need to add center supports. Oh, the ramps barely hold an 8k lb excavator, I plan to add tubing on the underside of the ramps where the edges are bent under like c channel. Those bent under edges flared out so I had to use a sledge hammer to bend the "c channel they formed" back under it straight so it wasn't too wide and would fit in the ramp slide-in mounts. The ramps are straight and not sagging but they flared out at least 1/2". Luckily I have only had to rent an excavator 3 times. Otherwise it's been great.

Curious how this trailer has held up for you? Looking at one now at Wasatch trailer. Not many reviews out there. How have the sides held up?

[@jonesmachineco]

Been extremely happy with it. Zero problems, zero issues.

How Michael is it bro

[@user-gi2nn2tp3r]

I’m thinking about buying one of these for demo and dirt would you recommend it?

[@jonesmachineco]

I’ve been super happy with it and I use it almost daily to haul logs

@@jonesmachineco thanks appreciate the feedback!

[@jonesmachineco]

Anytime!

Hey Derek - Now that it's been about 1 year since purchasing and using your Southland dump trailer, do you still like it? Anything you don't like about it? I'm likely purchasing the same dump trailer you have, but there are very little to no user reviews out there on them. It kind of has me hesitant on making the purchase. Thanks!

[@jonesmachineco]

I have had zero problems with my trailer that said, I think a lot of people that have had problems have abuse them or use them incorrectly. We use ours almost daily with zero problems.

[@ryanihrig]

@@jonesmachineco thanks for the reply. Just got mine today, the 7x14 14k. I agree though, if you take care of your equipment it will last.

[@jonesmachineco]

Exactly I hope it works for you like mine has for me.
