  2 parts used oil 1 part diesel and there are no down sides as long as you can let it set in the sun a few days to soak in and dry prior to use

  I do 2:1 ratio of used motor oil and diesel fuel. Put it in a pump up sprayer and spray it all over the deck. I do it 1x a year but could probably do it less often. My trailer is 5 years old and the wood looks brand new.

  I know that by the time this video airs, you have probably already purchased a winch, but if not, I would highly recommend the badlands winch from Harbor freight with the Poly rope, they are actually really high quality.

  Make sure to get reflector tape and put it along the side of the frame and back of the trailer

  Mount a receiver hitch to that plate so you can remove the winch if they dont want to pay for it. Use an sb connector for the battery connection. Easy peasy

  Actual rental yards check lights and brakes after every rental and document and save the paperwork.

  I started a trailer rental business here in western Ohio after watching some of your videos (subscriber since 2020). Started off with a 6x12 utility trailer. Have been pushing it harder the last 6 weeks or so and have had 4 rentals so far.

  They used to soak phone poles in creosote and still do on rail road ties, and those are buried in dirt. Soaking them in oil should add some life.

  it&apos;s an old trick to sealing wood whether it&apos;s fence slats or traier deckin you just need to put a lil diesel fuel in the oil you use and mux it up well im the 4th generation keeping the family tradition of using it and we&apos;ve never have any issues.. Jasco also makes a good sealer that gives you about the same color so in a pinch u can touch up or use Jasco&apos;s product

  You have to wait at least a year after installing Pressure Treated lumber (or new lumber from a new purchase), before you add new coating. &nbsp;You have to wait for the salt or chemicals in the treated lumber to dissipate. &nbsp;Otherwise, the new treatment will not stick. &nbsp;After that, use used Transmission fluid and diesel. &nbsp;I use 50/50. &nbsp;Oil is good too, but use 75/25 of diesel and oil. &nbsp;Transmission fluid is best.
