Compost hauling

I thought about not being able to haul dirty stinky stuff in the Highlander and since I have the luxury of unlimited parking for toys (at least all I can afford), I went with buying a utility trailer that I set up to be pulled by the Highlander. It sets a lot of the time but is very handy when I need it. 7' X 12 ' treated bed with ramp. 2000 lb capacity, full sides. I had pickups forever but don't miss one now. You might be a redneck if you've ever hauled a dead deer or firewood in your John Boat. I've hauled both At The Same Time. Before I had the Utilty trailer.
Dave.

Any chance I could borrow your utility trailer for the weekend?

Space for toys makes all the difference. A good deal of our lot is given over to my wife's pursuits, chicken coop, garden shed, raised beds, fish pond ....not that I'm complaining!

Hi Glenn,
I'd loan it to you for sure but I can't deliver. I'm busy going to Shellsburg to buy popcorn.
Did you ever make a beer float with good ice cream and fruit flavored Lambic Beer? I gotta try it, a friend said very tasty.
Dave.

Dave I think you could be arrested in Belgium for a sacrilege like that!! Glenn I have lot heavier duty utility trailer than Dave's - feel free to drive over and borrow it anytime.
