Thanks for all the replies and good advice . I am modifying my trailer this winter. It is a 10' single axle trail with no brakes. I haul a subcompact tractor ( a different color of red)an tiller or plow a lot of miles in the spring and fall . I added 8" to the back of the trailer 2 years ago to be able to shut the tailgate . The trailer needs tires ,so I will be adding two foot and another axle this winter . I have had a few close calls on getting things stopped so I will be adding brakes mostly for safety. My S-10 is a ZR2 they are suppose to be a little heavier built than a regular s-10. So when I get done I will have a 12' tandem axle trailer built the way I want it with all the LED lights , that everything fits on .With brakes .
I do have a 2012 1/2ton Silverado and a 18' car trailer for the big jobs . I am a little pickey about driving it on country gravel roads ( it drives my wife nuts that I won't drive it on gravel) . I will be sure to get the trailers hooked up so I can pull both trailers with both trucks . So the tekonsha brake control seems to be the most recommended ,I'll look for one of those Thanks Bruce S. |

just make sure you do you homework when it comes to axle placement, if its not just right its gonna haul like crap and will drag your truck all over the place.

Yes I will do that . I had a 16' utility trailer a while back that had the axles mounted to far back and it sucked.
I plan to put the centerline of the axle assembly at 7' from the front of the trailer box on my 12' trailer. |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
