I looked at the various size options, both the physical size and the available load capacity. For the utility trailer, this 1200lb version with the strap is still overkill. But the cost is very reasonable, and I'd rather have a little extra capacity and avoid any possible 'not-enough' options. The trailer itself has a 1200lbs weight limit, so this one is \"just right\". It's quite compact, mounts easily with 3/8\" hardware, has decent gear reduction pieces, and the strap is better for my use than a cable.
