First thing you should do is go through the trailer and check/replace the bearings, make sure the lights and brakes work. etc. Does the trailer need a brake controller in the truck? The new neighbor, who you know anything about, "always" wants to borrow your trailer? I could see loaning/renting it to a neighbor you've had for 10 years that you know you can trust. I bet if you told this new neighbor he could rent it with a $500 deposit, he'd stop asking to "borrow" it. All you have to do is say you've had a problem in the past with loaning items.
The guy I bought my land from asked me how much it would cost to pick up an 8N with my truck and trailer. He said it was about an hour away, so I said around $100. The day he came by and wanted to do it, I was really busy. I told him he could take my truck himself. My trailer was parked where I couldn't get to it because of mud. I hooked every chain and tie down strap I had to the trailer so I could pull it to the road with my skid steer. Hooked the trailer on the truck and told the guy he'd need to put some gas in the truck. He said he'd be gone about 3 hours tops. 7 hours later and he still wasn't back. Finally showed up 1/2 an hour later. I asked what took so long and he said he got lost! Then he complaining my truck was hard on gas(Chev. 6.0 litre). I had about a 1/4 tank when he left. He said he put $40 in and had to put more in on the way back. He didn't offer to pay anything for the truck and trailer but I thought he would have at least filled my gas tank. When I was ready to go home, hopped in the truck to park the trailer and the gas gauge read about a 1/4 tank. The cheap SOB put in just enough gas to equal what it had when he borrowed it. About a month later he asked if I could clear a fence line with my Cat. I wouldn't let him use my cell phone if he was stranded in the middle of nowhere! The neighbor across from me though uses my tandem dually trailer to haul bales and I don't ask for a cent because he helps me when I need it. Lots of people like to borrow stuff but if you want to borrow from them, forget it.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
