Powerline Industries monster trailer

lol… and then you get home, wrap some in bacon, throw them on the grill, and all is well after she tastes the sweet morsels of goodness.

This wasn’t the case when I was a young man. B&S were the bees knees for small engines. Perhaps they are crap now, but back in the day, you could expect 15-20 years with good maintenance schedule.

My dad says the same thing almost verbatim. But he’ll go into a nostalgic trance about how Tecumsah use to rule the roost. Never seen a Tecumsah engine in my life. Lol

They were good engines. I think they were tecumsah robbins. Wow I’m really showing my age :weary:

Lister petter is an awesome engine if ypu can find one

Subaru Robin were junk

Does anyone know where Powerline buys theirtrailers ordo they manufacture them? I was looking at this unit as well and finally seen in in person over the weekend here in Houston. Looks VERY small in person with no extra space. Everyone I’ve talked with says it’s a great trailer and well built but expensive. I like the look of the Trailer itself so if I could buy one like that and build myself I would. I don’t want a wood deck trailer.

Why not?

Seems a bit high. At about 20K for 4000psi 6.5gpm tandex trailer set up. That’s with all of the accessories I will need except the soft wash system. Everyone I’ve asked about the trailers say they’re very well built but no space to add anything to it. Your thoughts?

Why not what?

Where can I get a similiar steel deck trailer like the one from Powerline? Do they make theirs or buy them wholesale from somewhere else?

I have no idea. why would you want a steel deck trailer. lots of extra weight and it’s cheaper and easier to replace wood than to repair and patch rust

Gotcha. Understand the heavier weight, but seems like it will last much longer than a wood deck.

Not with bleach, water, and other chemicals. put a good coating on the floor of the trailer if you’re worried about the wood

Why not have a wood deck?

Edit: didn’t read the rest of the thread. A wood deck will last a long time. And it can be replaced if it does come to that. Steel will rust. No matter what.

It seems everyone may have talked you out of a steel deck but this is who manufactures their trailers. http://www.metalcrafttrailers.com/ Yes their normal 4’x12’ is tiny. I don’t understand why anyone would not order the larger size unit. They have gone up several thousand dollars since I ordered mine. I have changed up several things on my unit and If i was to do it over again I think I would definitely go a different route. I’m working on a truck bed skid now. Just way more convenient in small neighborhoods.
