    Strictly trailer. However, they do fit on a 5x8 that can then be used for other tasks.

    My guys prefer to walk them though. Seems quicker than loading/unloading.

    We walk ours. Just did it the last 2 days. 1/4" solids.

    We trailer when venting in the summer, walk it around when coring greens and tees, high traffics, etc. The trailer doesn't cut a lot of time off overall, but we did save a little time. Keeps the operator "thinking" it was that much less of a task.

    Its funny that somebody hasn't designed a small stand plate of some sorts that one could hook to the handle arm and follow it along. It'd make steering awful, but there are a bunch of creative folks out there.

    I came across this the other day. Not sure how much it is but a great idea.

    My equipment manager fabbed up a trailer from scratch. Materials total was right at 500 bucks and 3 days of labor. Saves us a lot of time getting around the course, especially since we only have 1.

    Any chance we can get a few more pictures of this? what size tubing did he use?
