Ammo Trailer or m105a2.....Which to buy first.

[72cj5]

I am going to buy a trailer this weekend. I have 5 105's to chose from and 3 ammo trailer's to choose from.

Which one would you buy first and why?

Ammo trailer is too heavy for my tastes, and less useful.

M332 first,

M105s are cheap and plentiful, just wait.

If your gonna end up with both sooner or later get the ammo first.

Where is the "none of the above" option? Call me a party pooper but I just can't get excited about either of these trailers. Difficult to hitch up (early 105's), a pain to back up, can't get turned around on a trail, etc . . .

I have an ammo trailer and love it. The low deck makes it easier to load, the tailgate can be chained (with the purchase of a little extra chain) to lay horizontally and offer a prime place to sit at a comfortable height as well as allow for the loading of long items such as logs. It has a fuse box/tool box up front, and an extra pintel hook if needing to pull 2 trailers. The 105 does have a lot more storage area if you have the bows and cover, but at a much higher distance off the ground. That is a major concern for us older Steel Soldiers. Unless you are hauling a lot of stuff, the 332 should be sufficient.

Plus I think it looks cool.

Looks are deceiving. Actually there is not much difference in weight, the M105 is 2650 lb empty and the M332 is 2800 lb empty and the lower bed is a plus. Wayne

You need both, if you can find an ammo trailer with the cover I would grab that first. It seems that the covers for the 332 are almost as rare as a cover for a generator trailer.

I got the 105 first, since I'm still young enough (42) to get in and out of it

Same here, but I'm not 42 yet...

I had 1 1/2 cords of firewood in my M105 last weekend, not sure if that would fit in the ammo trailer.

Yep pretty nice trailer brand new tires,air hoses,lights,light wireing,It has three side racks ,the nice landing leg,I only have 4 bows. So I will be looking for a bow and cover. If anyone has a lead on a cover let me know. I belive it will work with only 4 bow's for now.

I am trailer sitting FreightTrain's ammo trailer....and I have several 105's.....as stated above it depends on what the mission is......the low deck of the ammo trailer makes it ideal to haul a 4 wheeler, lawn mower or other small vehicles.....and with those big springs you can really load the wagon if your prime mover will handle it.

I will own this one in a month or so. Had full rebuild prior to DS 90-91. And they never used it for a mission then shipped back. It is in great shape.

Idunno, I have two M332s and haven't used them in 10+ years. Relatively small box, limited hauling capacity (unless you are hauling lead).

The 105 would be my choice too.

It is a cute little thing though
