Excellent for moving a trailer that is too heavy, even empty, to readily move by hand.
Dolly appears to be well made and sturdy enough to last a long time. Assembly instructions were minimal but with significant experience in mechanical assembly, automotive work, etc. it was easy to figure out.The hitch ball supplied is 2". It has a smaller diameter shaft / thread, but it was easy to find a different diameter ball with the correct diameter shaft / thread. This enables use with trailers having different diameter ball requirements. I use it for both a 1-7/8 inch ball size trailer as well as a 2" just by swapping the ball.Overall very satisfied with this product - it works extremely well to eliminate the trailer weight on the power hauler that I use for moving trailers around.

Well built
This trailer dolly is well built with a nice finish. Assembled easily. Two caveats however; 1) the flange that curves around the ball receiver part was too wide for my application. I had to grind about 3/16" off so it did not rub on the frame and 2) I had to cut of about 1/2" to allow the hitch lock to close easily.No.. 1 had to do with my receiving end of the front of my gold cart. But No. 2 had to do with the hitch locking mechanism. When viewing from underneath the tongue bar rubbed against a flat piece of the locking mechanism and caused it to cant some and difficult to latch freely. Cutting the 1/2" off it fixed the problem.Overall I am happy with build and quality of the dolly. My use for it was to be able to move a 14' cargo trailer with my golf cart. I mounted a 2" ball on the front ( this is where the rubbing issue was). Also fitted a 2" receiver to the back which was well under the foot step of the rear facing seat. This is why I needed the extra length on the dolly tongue.While tricky I can push and pull the trailer with my golf cart. Why push you say? I needed to have the trailer head in in it's parking spot but did not have enough room to pull it in with my truck. Suits my purpose perfectly. Also it can be used to ramp a jet ski at the lake with the gold cart. Very happy solution to my situation

Just Some Info You Might Need
Here is some extra information you might need. The inside distance between the tire sidewalls is 18.5", the outer width of the tire sidewalls is 28.5". The main tube that supports the axle is 2" square and 1/8" wall. The wheels have cheap radial bearings that are strangely recessed on both side, which supports the wheel less than it could have! But each wheel has a grease fitting that will fill the entire space between the bearing. That will take a lot of grease.Some photos show no support between the horizontal and vertical tubes, but there is a small, bolt-on brace. This 1/8" thick brace bolts to the same thickness tabs, which is rather weak. The weldment that bolts to the main axle tube has four 1/4" thick washers to keep you from mashing the 2" tube when you overtighten the four bolts.The tires are 15x6.00-6 but the tire is 14" diameter and 5" wide, and the tread is only 4" wide. The tires are unbranded, rated for 30psi, but have no load rating on them. The manual doesn't say either.The welding is typical Chinese junk, but frankly I am cutting this dolly apart and increasing the distance between the wheels and adding a c-channel brace, so I will be rewelding the entire thing together, in addition to the bolts.

Works as indicated
Assembly Instruction could have been better. All parts were there, worked with the Honda quad moving a 4.5K trailer. Had a problem with a tire coming off the rim in a tight turn but fixed my putting the correct pressure in the tires (I should have checked before use). Had to get one of those fit over ball converted from 2" to 2 5/16" for my use. Worked well in my semi rough dirt/mud terrain.

Absolute garbage construction! MISSING PARTS!!!
Bac Industries/Tuff Products should be ashamed! I get it, the stuff is made in China, but have at least a LITTLE quality control! I'm missing washers for the wheels, meaning, I can't mount them! The threads on the 'axles' weren't even cleaned after after cutting. The welding isn't even close to being square. It's all around VERY POOR construction. For the price, I expect MUCH higher quality! Avoid!!!!!!!

Product has a few hitches but nothing major!
Overall it's a great design.I had to use a large lock washer not included, to keep the include 2" ball tightened to it's adjustable mast.Another simple fix was that the axle was drilled approx 3/16 inch to far out toward the end of the spindle for the castle nut to be locked in place after the wheel hub was seated, and the include cotter pins were not large enough in diameter to confidently catch the castle nut slot, and light duty enough that it could easily sheer off if the nut backed off, so I upgraded those pins to a size that barely tapped into the spindle, and I bent the hairpin of the new cotter pins toward the nut slot to grab and stop the nut from coming loose after it was seated properly.And the hitch arm pin is also light duty that there is a possibility the keeper pin to the provided pin could catch any debris such as tall grass and pull itself out. It does have a light aluminum chain attached to the pin, and that chain has a 1/2 inch split ring attached to the chain to connect the chain to the grab handle so when you pull the pivot pin out, it can dangle and stay attached to the tongue. I just upgraded that as well with a hitch pin, clevis style.Other than those three minor upgrades, it will work safer and longer without a mishap.It tows well behind a ATV. And my ATV trailer transfers it's loaded tongue weight to the dolly and pulls easier.

Works well, but not for high hitch
Limited if your vehicle hitch is too high, would need a drop hitch. Putting together was ok when I found a video on you tube because it didn’t come with clear directions. Welds will prevent flush install unless you use and impact drill
