My last trailer inspection post (I promise) - 05/13/15 10:34 PM
Well I took my letter from Ranger to the court house and they changed my carry weight without batting an eye. While there I mentioned I had a dual axle utility that I guess I'd have to put brakes on and get inspected. She asked me the weight of the trailer and what I carry on it. Told her I didn't know the trailer weight but would bring back the title.
She asked what I haul on the trailer and I told her a Kawasaki Mule that weighs 1600 lb. I asked why she wanted to know and she said she can assign a carry weight based on what you haul. She said folks have horse trailers but don't haul horses, or utility with lawn mowers only. Long story short went back yesterday with title and Kawasaki literature with the weight of the mule and I now have two trailers under the 4501 limit and no inspections. Life is good.
