I recently completed a 24ft mobile dyno-jet trailer (6500lbs). My lot is pretty small and I need a good way to manuver it around.
When it comes to ratings for larger trailers this seems like the place to go:

But the price tag is a little steep when you look at the parts, a steel frame, a motor, some gears/chains, and wheels.
Anyone ever build one of these yourself? they don't seem to use very big motors, even a golf cart motor would seem to be overkill. Though if I could pick up an electric golf cart drivetrain cheap and lock up the clutch it may be an easier solution.
Another idea I had was starter motors, I have several Ford V6/V8 ones laying around. The RPM Is pretty low, would need to be further reduced. The torque is going to be pretty good. I am just afraid running it for more than 30-60 sec will overheat it.
