My project today was making a little trailer to tow behind my lawn
tractor or golf cart. So far I am $10.60 in it for the wheels on sale
at Northern (4.99)
The metal is mostly from scavenged bed frames and stuff I had laying
around. I still need to score a hitch and some plywood for the deck.

I started my Harbor Freight folding trailer with 3/4 marine grade.
Ended up using 1/2 due to weight and folding problems. Folded,
its 4x4 which is what yours looks to be.
You got me thinking. How would you attach a hitch to a Club Car?
Do you think the Club Car could handle the weight, 300# +
cargo?


I pull my boat trailer around the yard with my CC all the time. I am
sure it weighs more than 300#. On flat pavement I even move the boat
on the trailer occasionally. I would not try it on a ramp tho ;-)
This is the hitch on my CC and it was really easy. I just needed a
1/8" spacer to make a regular hitch bracket work in that hole in the
back



My wife used to have a motorcycle trailer that she used to haul her
gardening stuff around in. She towed it using her golf cart with no
problems at all. I am sure the total weight of the trailer with all the
potting soil, tools, water containers, etc. must have been 300 lbs or
more.
