Wheeled Trailer Jack

[Hog1990]

Since I have 2 months to ponder some things before my ShirFab is ready, I have been thinking about some upgrades. Have any of you guys added a wheeled trailer jack to your build? Something like: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Fulton-1413020134-Track-Trailer-Tongue/dp/B002DPBI74/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1424189148&sr=8-5&keywords=dual+wheel+trailer+jack"]Amazon.com: Fulton 1413020134 F2 Twin Track Trailer Tongue Jack: Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412soHvzv-L.@@AMEPARAM@@412soHvzv-L[/ame] ???

Never even thought about it. I would see what Paul and Tyler could setup for you. I bet they have done this before. It would probably cost less too. Only 2 months? I have 4.:sad:

Got one on my boat trailer. Works just fine !

An easy and practical add-on for any trailer.
You can do lots better price-wise than that one from Amazon. Any boat place or trailer place will have one for more like $40.00 or so.
ETA: Make sure you get one that tilts up and locks for when you are towing the rig.

Depends how heavy your trailer will be.
For a boat sure. For heavy trailers they are useless.
Rule of thumb would be if you can lift the tongue then they will work.
If not they just add dig into the dirt and mud.

The wheels on those are worthless unless your on smooth ground.

I would check if Paul can integrate one of these modified with twin 10" pneumatics like this.

If my memory is correct, the jacks that Paul and Tyler put on the cookers can be fitted with either a removable plate or wheel, held on with a pin for easy removal when towing. To be sure, check with Paul.

And also a few months out on my Shirley Fab cooker as well.

Remember, Paul & Tyler balance their rigs perfectly. There is a picture somewhere on their web page with Paul's wife movin a pit around, with one hand I think. My point is you don't need a "brute" jack, maybe just a fat turf tire.

I can put either a pad or a wheel on my trailer jack just by removing a bolt. Very handy.

Yeah I wouldn't be too concerned about the tongue weight itself but the rolling resistance is what's gonna kill those cheap jacks. I've seen those cheap jacks fail from pushing sideways on even the lightest of tongue weights usually at the stamped steel pivot, the one from Harbor Freight has a trunnion style pivot with a larger bearing surface.

Does anybody have any info on these? Thinking about one for the Shirley Fab in the garage.
