:confused: Thinking of making a small single axel 10x5 trailer for the bog.... and occasional car work What axel could i get with suitable oversize balloon type wheels straight from a scrap yard with strong springs ect?... something like a transit van axel but with no diff ?? cheers.

Keep an eye on your local scrapyard. An axle from an old rusted out side spreader would be ideal. You could narrow it if need be. You dont need nor want springs. iver in Cavan

is it a tractor trailer or a car trailer you're making?

They're two very different things.

a 10x5 is fierce big for a single axle car trailer.
