I know a number of people here have used tractor supply. I have no experience with them... I guess we'll just have to wait. I've revised the subject line to help find them...

Great trailers, made in America. No trouble with mine, already three years and counting on many more.

used em' on three of my builds with now problems - in the past they were braced a little different, but they have redesigned them to make them stronger. However, please note that the frame is connected to the tongue by only two bolts - so I would suggest welding at those points
