I agree, that is why I decided with the wood decking. easy to install them anywhere

Sounds nice.  Make sure you have plenty of tie down spots.  I have found that there are never enough of them.   whistling

I like my wood deck trailer for cutting holes in for hooks on ratchet straps to the frame over the wheels of the Max. Also for screwing down odd loads or stop blocks.
What it lacks in ground clearance is made up for with traction.

I had a Customer bring me a max 4 on a tilt all aluminum trailer . It was a VERY Nice trailer !
For the Money you can't go wrong with one as long as it is made by a Good company !
Do the back ground research on the company . As I am sure you will !  whistling

I have a tilt bed 8’6”x12’, wood deck. Home built and it’s the handiest trailer I ever had. Can haul 2 buffalo trucks sideways and be legal. Have to use ramps to load from side but lots of room.

Phelpsy69er should be able to give some good feedback.  His little buddy has a large aluminum trailer that they use to haul their 6x6's from Illinois to Pine Lake.

Looking for suggestions. I am going to buy an aluminum trailer most likely a 6x12, what do you guys think is better and the pros and cons, an all aluminum deck or a wooden deck. Im leaning toward the wood deck, cheaper and easy to replace wood.....it is for hauling my MAX II or my full size 800 Ranger.
