Not much info on these trailers. There is one guy who knows a lot about them and has even talked with the man who built the grasshopper but that's about it.

I've got some info on them not much but some. I did manage to blow up a pic of a grasshopper and get it cut out so I have a templete to work with.

The mini-hopper was modeled after the grasshopper.

Hi Jim!

Welcome to the list. You must have good taste in trailer design. 8)

You may want to take a look at my website. I'm building a grasshopper shaped trailer. If you are building your own, the weight will depend on how careful you are. You should be able to build between 900 and 1500 pounds quite easily. It's easy to build heavy. :lol:
