A Great Purchase
Date:August 17, 2011
Bought in June, only complain I have is that I just saw the 5x8 is now on sale for same price I paid for my 5x7. Immediately placed plywood on floor. Tow with a Subaru Forester and use for my lawn tractor and hauling building material, so the 8 ft. would have been a better trailer, although I manage well with the one I have. I looked all around, and at the time, TSC had the best deal and the trailers in the best shape.

Misused
Date:June 27, 2011
This is a great little trailer. I had it for about 6 months and I really misuse it. I over load it with building supplies and probably should not put that much weight in it. ( well over what it is rated for) I am actually going to buy a larger one from Tractor Supply and give this to my Dad

Not worth it
Date:June 4, 2011
Purchased May 2010 so I could carry my lawn tractor or ATV to remote property I purchased about 40 miles away. Had no problems with the trailer through Oct 2010, which was the last time I used it for transport. In all I put about 1500 miles on it through the summer/early fall. Over winter it was stored in a pole barn. It was also pressure washed about once every other week if needed. The first time I used it this year, which was in May, I arrived at my property and went to unhitch the gate only to find that the left side latch pin and box had detached at the weld to the frame of the gate and was gone. The only thing holding the gate up is the locking pin on the right hand side. Currently I am using a ratchet strap to secure the left side, at least til I can either find a replacement pin and box or find a better way to secure the gate. Also the mesh flooring welds have come apart and the flooring is bending badly. This should be a fairly simple fix though as I plan to put oak planking on the frame so ATV/Lawn Tractor no longer sit on the mesh floor.
The bottom line is that this trailer was not heavily used and was taken care of. At the 1 year point it is falling apart at the seams, LITERALLY. No, I haven't contacted the manufacturer about warranty coverage as their policy is quite clear and all this happened at about 1 year and 5 days....I just do not need to get worked up over trying to have them repair which I doubt they would. Not to mention down time for the repair which would keep me from maintaining my property. The trailer should not have these problems and I either picked out a lemon or the quality of their product is very low. My bet is on the low quality. Buyer beware...... THIS TRAILER IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. FIND A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER.
