Hey Dox, you are in Missouri! Get an open trailer or people will call you Dr. Fancy Nancy! \\ Put the kids in the cars and tell them to hold everything down.
If you have a structural engineer design it right you could make pockets in the beams etc and place your lifts so that the car rides up into the pocket.

True that. A open trailer is very versatile. An enclosed trailer can be used for weather tight/secure storage that can come in handy for many of us. Something else to think about.If you buy and open trailer you will only need one trailer. The open trailer can haul things that an enclosed can’t like piles of dirt, gravel, swing sets, tractors, implements for tractors etc..
Ive hade my open trailer for 35 years and I have used it for just about everything besides hauling a car.
one thing, put a winch on it you will hardly ever use it, but it will be the best money you ever spent when you need it…
If it were me I'd put a blanket on the roof and run the ratchet strap through the window opening, and over the roofThanks! No worries with damaging the doors holding them shut with ratchet straps?
KIds that age bounce when they hot the ground. As a kid (and older) I never broke when falling off a running horse at 35 mph but I never fell off a car trailer doing 70 either!!!!This is a fantastic idea, I mean what could go wrong. Just a little road rash, it’ll wash off
Little late to the party, but we everyone else said, the open trailer will work just fine. In fact, I hauled a Duster, in almost the exact condition as your Dart, from Houston, Tx to Kentucky on an open trailer.
As for mowers, check out Country Clippers. You can get them with single joystick control and they’re AWESOME! We bought the Boulevard model 2 years ago and the only regret I ever had was not being able to convince my wife that we need the Challenger, Charger or Boss XL model.
Instead of a zero turn mower consider a front mount like the old Yazoo or the Ferris. If you have to mow up under bushes and trees and shrubs you do not want to be on a zero turn because it's pulling your body into the brush or the tree. On a front mount the deck will go in 4 or 5 ft before your body starts to come in contact with the Bush or tree.
It looks like you have about a 7 ft bush hog in that Barn. Buy an old farm tractor for it. That'll save you hours of mowing time.
By the way congratulations on the purchase of the home and the buildings. Now you need to fill that Barn up with Mopars.
Depends on how much to mow and what. If you got enough ground, get both. Tracktor with bush hog and GOOD Z turn.I’m looking at zero turn mowers now! Either that or a small tractor with a belly or pull behind mower. Then a couple of cows and write all that **** off on my taxes lol.
I was shopping for an enclosed trailer for my racecar, and also to move three households of stuff for my family, from california to Arizona. Very disappointed by the premium placed on West coast trailers, compared to back east. Roughly 75-100% more.Ok I’ll do the open trailer. Only other good thing about a closed trailer is I could move my cars and pack up some of my **** in the garage/spare room to move to the new house.
the alternator in my purple car died this morning going to get donuts so I’m gonna have to find a new alternator for it.
That is already being done. Mine was a $12 grand truck, we got for $6k, about what the lift gate was worth. Slightly less than the overhaul bill was for the engine.^^^ I can see where some serious money could be made buying Ca. trucks and bringing them to Tx.for resale!!!!!!!
Don't ever use pallets for anything.You could get a POD (or buy a cargo container) and have them set it on your flat bed trailer to haul the misc house stuff.
My 2nd to last move I moved everything in the back of a full sized pickup. (Bed nets are your friend)
Then for the large stuff I used a u haul truck.
My one way was 17 miles but with traffic it was 45 minutes.
Everyday after work I would take a load over.
Also if you picked up a few pallets you can enclose the front 3/4 of an open trailer
