The manual for my old one said not to exceed 18 mph or something, loaded up to like 500 lbs. From 500 to its max load of 1500 lbs it says smooth ground only, and 5 mph. So yeah, lawnmower speed if it's loaded heavy.

I have not. We have two utility trailers too. One that was fir when we had one atv. Then one for when we had three.
Now that we have four atvs I need one of those side loading, put the ramps anywhere trailer..
Anyway, the original utility trailer is largely what gets used around here now. The little garden trailer doesn't have a lot of use anyway. But I'm sure the moment I get rid if it 5 uses will pop up.

I drove my unregistered full size pickup to Farm and Fleet and got this today.
Gonna put a polyethylene floor in it so I can haul ashes from the bonfire pit.
It came with that stupid pin type rattle & make noise type of hitch so I put a ball coupler on it.
The tires say "4-10 psi operating range" and "25 psi to seat bead" but they had 40 psi in them from the factory.
I let them down to ten.

See the bolts when you zoom in on where the yellow railing meets in the corners?
It was loose and sloppy til I added those.
And I cut up an old wheelbarrow inner tube and zip tied a piece to the square tube under where the tilt latch thingy is so it won't rattle.
I hate things that rattle.
Tomorrow I'll drag my ATV out and change it's oil.

Try a soft bungee. Hose clamps will scratch up the plastic and might get you in trouble.Sounds like the steering column cover in my Pete. Im bout ready to put a big damn hose clamp around it to see if that’ll silence it

Not a super stiff rubber tarp strap but one of these.
I keep them on the bike so I can strap cases of water on the back of the seat.

You don't know anyone with a Harley?You are like the only guy I know that gets something brand new, looks at it and says Naah, this is no good I got to fix it.
It seems like every one of those guys has to "customize" them with chrome accessories the minute they get them home from buying them.

I don't actually know anyone with a Harley. I do know a guy that bought a completely custom made bike.
I guess a Harley just wasn't original enough for him.

Years ago when I hitched a ride out to North Dakota to drive @Injun's recently deceased friend's truck home to his family in El Paso, that guy in El Paso whom I brought the truck to had a Johnny Cash Special.
The only thing I remember specifically was it had a bicycle pedal on the kick starter. But it was a total Frankenstein. Engine was from a different year and model, tank was from a different bike, etc.

Digging out hostas so that little tree can have more nutrients.
I didn't plant that tree. It just grew wild in a little patch of hostas that were only there as a lawn mowing hazard marker because someone a million years ago was too lazy to properly remove a clothes line pole.
Nothing a sledge hammer couldn't take care of.
