Much stronger than I anticipated, but I did order the middle one that hauls upto 1,500 lbs. It is well built and was easy to put together. I had no issues with the way it was packaged and delivered. No missing parts and no dents/scratches. (Then again, it's going to get scratched and dented if put to use, so who really cares.) It took about an hour or so to put together and then I was hooked up and running with the lawn mower/tractor. Thanks for another less expensive option that is of good quality. Yes there are better options of "great" quality out there, but if you are not going to use daily, why pay that price. This price for what you get is awesome!! I live in the Pacific NW.
