[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1650648, member: 2383"] My father has an older PJ and it's been a great trailer, only real complaint is the back end is too close to the ground and drags a lot. It's got to be getting close to 20 years old, and the paint job is still fairly decent. I priced the trailer I was looking for from PJ, Load Trail and Diamond C. The latter two were so close the difference was negligible depending on the particular dealer. PJ was consistently 3k or so higher than the other 2. PJ uses 5" diameter lift cylinders on their hydraulic doves, whereas the other 2 use 3" diameter cylinders - though they use a different attachment distance from the pivot so there's no gain in strength/lift time. I've read of more than one account of the cylinder support frame buckling on PJ's for what it's worth. That along with the extra money up front eliminated them from my search. Long story short, I'm not interested in one of their hydraulic doves, but a flatdeck or standard dovetail would be a contender if the price were right. [/QUOTE]
