I have been trying to purchase a Harbor Freight 1720 lb trailer for about 6 months. I keep emailing HF but I guess Eric Schmitt is too busy to respond as to why they are no longer in stock,

I can see it being like opening day fishing season in the NW with tiny tire single axle trailers littering the side of the road,


I didn't notice the 1720 lb trailer in the current or recent flyers and coupons?

Several of the respondents didn't actually read (or understand) what the OP is looking for. Someone says "I'm looking for "X"", and people respond that he should instead get "Y", even though "Y" is not even remotely similar to "X".

I have one of the folding trailers he is talking about, although mine was purchased many years ago through Northern Hydraulics. I have made a few modifications to make it easier to fold/unfold, and it is indeed doable by one person. When folded, it can be rolled (on the included casters) up against the wall in the garage and takes up very little space. On the other hand, when unfolded, it has a decent carrying capacity, and has served me well for everything to hauling 2 ATCs or 2 stand up PWCs, to making dump runs. I have used it for decades, and will likely never get rid of it simply because of it's utility combined with it's small footprint when stored. Another plus is that it's small footprint allows it to be stored inside the garage, out of the weather. Mine still has the original plywood that I installed in 1986, although I did put several layers of marine spar varnish on it to start with!!!

Ditto.

Buy a retired Home Depot "rental" trailer instead.

I added another one to my fleet a few weeks ago.

BTW, you can find Eric Schmitt in Tampa FL. He has the biggest yacht in the harbor. I believe he can see his little boat from his front yard. In case you feel like visiting him and TP-ing his house.

"The reason it is 'no longer in stock' is because you have to go INTO the actual store to pre-order it now. We hate selling them. They come in broken boxes. They are super duper heavy. Do yourself a favour and buy one that is already built. the smaller trailers are okay but the 1720 trailer is really heavy. Also they don't fit in a tiny car." Per a HF freight supervisor

I have the 1195 version. Let me tell you that the folding capability, is not a trivial thing to take advantage of....
During assembly, they what you to bolt the folding section in places that are not all that accessible. I did it a different way.
Standing it up is at least a two person job. It can be done.

Yes there is but no one makes one that will fold and have wheels so that I can store it in the corner of my garage.....
