My dumb purchase! Buying a farm trailer v/s utility trailer SAVE YOUR $$

What happens here

The host presents a small, approximately 8-foot long by 4-foot wide utility trailer he purchased from Lowe's earlier in his farming journey. He demonstrates its rusting by running his hand over its surface and showing the rust residue. He highlights that because most utility trailers are stored outside, they are exposed to weather and elements, which causes rapid deterioration for steel models. He contrasts its approximate $900 cost with the much more expensive but durable Floe trailer, questioning the long-term value of cheaper options.

Goal: Understand the common problems, particularly rust and lack of longevity, associated with inexpensive, basic steel utility trailers when stored outdoors.
