AWESOME Combat, I love that trailer, I plan on getting a few of those also to haul around some small equipment like that behind a pick-up or small dump-truck.
As for which way it should face, put it facing backwards like the last picture, that way more weight from the mini excavator will be on the trailer hitch when it is hooked up to what ever you put it with and it will be less likely for it to fall off its hitch during transportation :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
**Edit** Position as 88 said above, we posted at the same time and he does a better job explaining sign1
