They also say no more than 55 MPH. Can I take that to mean no more
than 60?

It won't blow apart at 56. or with 993 pounds in it. But if
it does, it's your ass, not theirs.

FWIW- mine has about 2 years and 5000 miles on it. Once I did some
really bad math in my head and put 4000 pounds of cement blocks in it.

LOL.

I'm glad I only had 5 miles to go as it pulled like a wet rug--- but
it didn't bend anything.

Recently I made 16 trips of 80 miles one way. Empty one way- about
1000 pounds of pavers on the return. 65 miles an hour for most of
the trip. I watched the bearings closely for the first 3 trips- but
it was up to the job.

Use *good* wheel bearing grease. Check it often. [I haven't had
any luck finding 'bearing buddy' caps that fit the Harbor Freight
trailer] I've checked the bolts a couple times. Haven't found a
loose one yet.

It didn't actually say to check after 200 miles like I think I said.
It was after 20 miles. Somewhere it said every 20 miles -lol- but I
haven't found that again.
