Default How to: Transporting big birds to the flying field

Actually,
Its one of those small (cheap) Utility trailers I purchased at Canadian Tire (in Canada). I built the box you saw in the pictures and bolted it to the frame. I removed one leaf spring to make the ride softer. I also used 3/4" plywood to give it more weight. I then added the longer tong (not sure if its the right word) Last year I added the bigger wheels for the long distance highway speed.
In winter, I remove the tong to make it shorter and remove the wheels to make it lower, and park it in my shop, then it also acts as a work top. (its got to pull its weight).
