So my coworker and I were discussing trailers a couple of weeks ago. He was looking for a single axle utility for his side business, and said he had found a few close by that seemed like good deals. He ended up getting a used Big Tex, I think it is. The sticker said it was built last October. One wheel had grease all over it, and I mentioned that the bearings may already be shot. He said the previous owner owned a restaurant and hauled his old grease to the recycle center, and that was what was on the wheel. I bent down and smelled and yes, it was cooking grease. Now, for the heck of it, I reached down and wiggled the tire, and it had about 1/8' - 1/4" of play, same on the other side. I happen to have my trailer hooked up today to move a gun safe tonight, and it does the exact same thing. We just checked 2 more trailers here at work, and they do it as well. All 4 trailers were built within the last 4 years. Is this the norm now for trailers, or could all 4 trailers have worn the bearings enough to cause this problem? Mine only has maybe 100 miles on it since I got it. One of the companies trailers gets used a good bit, the other maybe twice a month during the summer and has maybe 300 - 400 miles on it. I do plan to check mine out during lunch today.

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip.
