A friend of a friend is selling a 4x6 cargo trailer. Fully insulated and enclosed. He used it to haul deer during hunting season.
Said the tires were replaced this spring.
I have not actually seen the trailer but he says it is in excellent condition and I am only paying 75 bucks for it so I'll take a chance.
Here is my question: Is the load limit of a trailer based strictly on the tires or is there more to it than that? I assume leaf springs have some part to play as well as frame construction.
I was at tractor supply yesterday and I saw some trailer tires that said "Max load 535 lbs". So if I put tires that say 1000lbs on the trailer can I haul that much?
Any info on what gives a trailer its rating and any other thoughts you might have for me will be appreciated.
