Kestrel Take
A well-built single-axle utility trailer from a respected manufacturer — PJ's channel-frame construction and quality components put it above the big-box trailers. Great for mowers, ATVs, and general hauling. Bearings, tire age, frame condition, and lights are the inspection. A well-kept PJ is a durable, sensible utility trailer with good resale; verify the running gear and you've got a dependable workhorse.
