Your pic is upside down, looks like a nice mod to the trailer.Decided my ATV trailer needed some modification
to make my wood transferring a little more productive.

Yes, I went to the Big Box and bought them; they are a little snug but I used a rubber mallet to convince them. I just used some wood glue and my brad nailer for the connections, figure out your spacing and cut a couple of end scraps to use as height gages, I made mine stick out of the trailer about 12 1/2" then made the spacing equal, say 3 7/8", used some old furniture L-shaped brackets I had laying around for the corner joints where the wood meets.I have what appears to be the same trailer, and I've been meaning to do this same thing. Are those off the shelf firring boards that fit right in the pockets?
Yep, I noticed with the Rubicon and the trailer loaded to the top of the extensions that she tends to "push" a little in the corners!
Thing is, I don't know if the zero turn could handle the extra weight from that much wood in the trailer I have for it and I have no idea if I could pull the tractor supply cart with that much wood in it.
What do you have for a ZTR? Most commercial models will easily out-tow a lawn tractor. Should be able to handle a small cart full of wood no problem.
I have the John Deere Z445. It isn't from the commercial line. With that said, I already use a cart larger than the 10P they recommend. I am using the 17P. The ground is mostly flat, so I just might put the side rails on it and give it a try.
IIRC those did have a pretty decent drive setup in them. I wouldn't exceed 6-700 lbs (roughly the carrying capacity of the 10P) of towed weight however. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the traction available from a ZTR.
John Deere 3720
I have a 10p which looks the same as CSR's, mine has bushed wheels on a smallish axel and no suspension, I don't think it would take much weight on rough ground.I have the John Deere Z445.
