Why did you install electric brakes? Maybe your state is different but here in PA less then 3,000 pounds weight and single axle does not require them. Looking at your trailer and machine I can't see that exceeding 3,000 pounds.

Yes, used motor oil works wonders for wood preservation. I use that process on the two of my trailers, even tho the wood is treated.

I have an old 2000 Honda Foreman which has been fairly trouble free all these years, with only the replacement of batteries and one cooling fan relay, and regular oil/filter changes. I have abused this machine and it has always been reliable. But, I have found that the Electric shift is quirky at times, and I really prefer the automatic shifting afforded by my Polaris and Cfmoto machines. Everybody has there own preferences. As for title, some states require it, such as Arkansas, but that is subect to waiver with only Bill of Sale and a waiver. Minnesota does NOT require a title but only a Bill of Sale for ownership transfer.
