SD I think you'll like having that trailer and find it very handy to have. We've got two of them that size here at the farm and we use them all the time for just about anything. Haul everything from transplants, bags of corn, irrigation equipment and anything else that remotely fits.
One has 14" wheels and one 15", much prefer the 15.
Both of ours balance well and it's very easy for one guy to unhook and move around without struggling.
One of them has a spring assist tailgate didn't think much of it at first. After using it it's nice to just lift with your toes and have it in your hand ready to latch.
Only thing I'd watch is the actual inside measurements. Some of those manufacturers seem to have a different tape measure than I use

I understand what you all are saying, all I know is what I felt. I didn't have a weight gage on the hitch, but I surely could not begin the lift that tongue by hand, so I at least had my 10% tongue wight and I believe a great deal more. The cab on my buggy is close to 500# plus the machine itself. That axle is set fairly far back on those small trailers. Since it barely fits, I have no way to adjust it. All I know is what I experienced. Anyway, on my 1500 it isn't an issue at all. I sometimes forget I am dragging a trailer. ffcheesy

Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!

I brought my new trailer home this morning, including a spare tire.  ffsmiley
