Utility Trailers

Archive for September, 2009

The majority of trucks on the market, have a pretty lousy ecconomical characteristic. Being gas hogs, because of poor mileage due to having to haul around surplus weight and piss-poor aerodynamics. Most owners of utility vehicles, will on occasion need to have a payload bearing capacity to perform a function necessary for their work, but other times they will use their trucks just to commute to & from point A to B.

It would make more ecconomical sense, to have a vehicle that has the power to tow a trailer, to haul a payload when needed. And Leave the payload-bearing trailer at home or elsewhere, when not needed. To enhance one’s ecconomic performance of their truck when just shuttling to errands, that require a minimal payload capacity – which ought to fit in the passenger space or in a smaller utility bay in the vehicle itself.

I agree with you.. I have a pick up truck and the efficiency of it is not good.. nor the one before that nor the one before even that.. I keep asking why not have a truck as you describe.. It is possible that in the future, they might get their act together.. who knows?

hi, i have a utility trailer … the normal pull your quad around kinda trailer…it uses a ball hitch…i would like to see this hooked up to my tractor because i would rather not spend the money for a trailer that is readily compatible. Now, here’s the hard part. my tractor doesnt utilize the ball hitch method; matter of fact, it’s "trailer pulling" method is just a hole on a piece of metal in the back…Any suggestions???
thx

Put a ball in that hole you’ve already got.
Or use that hole to mount another plate with a ball attatched.

I am single dad with 2 daughters that I support and have claimed since their birth. I got letter this year from IRS saying they are denying my claiming them unless I send them proof of support and relationship.
I sent them birth certificates, insurance cards but they also want mortgage receipts or rent receipts and utility receipts.
I was in an accident and had to rent out my home to keep from losing it.

We had to live with my parents part of the year and the rest of the time we lived in small trailer behind the house that I’m renting to someone else.

Can IRS deny my claiming my children because of living in home with my parents part of year? What is the best way to approach this problem? I feel it’s very unfair! Nobody claims my family but me so who do they think is supporting them?

If the children lived at your parents home for more than six months, there is no way you can claim head of household, unless you actually paid the operating costs of that home.

If you lived with your children, at your parents home or in another dwelling, then you need to show that you lived with the children. If you paid no rent or mortgage, then you have to establish, perhaps through school or doctor records, that the children were living at the same address that you occupied.

Your support of the children is not an issue, either for claiming them as a dependent or for claiming head of household. The fact that no one else is claiming them is not an issue for the IRS either.

If the children lived with your parents and you did not live with them for more than six months, then the children are not your qualifying children regardless of the level of support. You would not be able to claim head of household or the exemptions for the children.

It sounds like you can establish the relationship, but you are unable to establish residency with the children, which disallows your claim.
