Sitting in 1 place for storage, the weight is not a problem with 1 axle. BUT transporting it later, the load would have to be half rated as a 2 axle . BUT Way unsafe, and I'd guess more trouble than its worth. I wouldn't wanna be in that situation, legally.
And yes $6 grand seems like a lot for an old trailer. What else did this guy eliminate? Air lines cut that would normally supply the air brakes ? Surely, there's more better deals out there, for trailers with both axles! lol Try repair shops that work on trailers, they could have some on hand they sell. At least, in So. California, I know there are a lot of those places to buy from.....
Good luck finding a better solution for your needs !
So, given those needs, and that we are scraping by to grow a grain and bean processing facility, do you still think I should "forget the bad trailer"?

In my humble opinion, yes.
You need a good trailer. You're in the food/grain business. Even if you don't use it for transporting right away, you never know when you might want to move it to another part of your yard temporarily, to get something done. Were it in good condition, a driver with a tractor, coming on to your yard, could easily hook to it and move it for you, hook back up to his trailer, deliver whatever, then move your trailer back to its original spot.
You might have situations that you cannot predict today. You might as well have a trap trailer, as we call it, that can do more for you than just store stuff and well, get in the way, sometimes.
It seems like you're going to a lot of trouble to cut corners that won't help you out in the long run.
I've delivered to rural businesses. You need to be as versatile and independent in your operation as possible. Every time you can't get something done yourselves, you're going to have to hire out, pay for their trip charge, pay for them to do whatever for you on your site, and now you have less cash to buy that equipment that would have allowed you to do that task on your own.
