Walk in trailer at the Summit.... 08 Feb 2009 18:34 #1

Dave Whitaker OFFLINE Very Senior Member Posts: 705 Thank you received: 5 Karma: 1	You guys that made it to this year's Summit, did you happen to check out that disappearing floor trailer that Neil Purdy, (Purdybilt), had there???? Tell me that wasn't slick! Work in out of the weather without having to step up and down every trip to the trailer........ If I wasn't so happy with the rig I have now, that rig could get me thinking trailer!! Dave

It does look very nice and would make a great difference in hot/cold weather. It has ready made shade for the work area and looks to be well organized. Nice trailer.

Anvil Brand Shoe Co. used to make a shoeing trailer with a removeable section of flooring just as you describe. I don't remember if that is the one that was featured in the AFJ or not. I thought it was an interesting idea. One drawback was that you were still standing on the ground which could be mud or ice or snow or whatever.

Yep, for sure..... but think how many step up and step downs this eliminates in the course of a day........ I just can't convince myself to try a trailer..... not on these Maine roads year round.

Oh, Rick, ....... was my pleasure to meet you at the Summit and my son got that hand shake and the thanks you requested..... much appreciated.
