That long tongue could make loading the weight right interesting. I'll assume it's a 2 5/16" ball with 6' plus of tongue it looks like in the pic? You may want to load your junk on it and take it on a test drive to see if it sways before you set out for an event. How does it tilt? Looks like the front has been welded at some point and no ram anywhere?

That trailer looks bomber. It may sway a bit as pmurf said but c'mon for 600 bucks you can't beat that! So long as you can keep the majority of your load directly above those tandems you oughtta be alright.
Nice buy, I've been looking for something similar.

Yes, they welded the deck down. Nobody knew why. I'm going to cut them out and see whats going on. No ram on these trailers. Gravity. You can see the pivots in front of the front axle.
My rigs down for a couple of weeks so we'll see then how it towes loaded.
For the money I couldn't buy the parts. I can always just flip it if i don't like it.
