Presumably that '700~ pounds' is a typo, especially looking at the wheels.
Looks a nice useful trailer. But I wouldn't like to pull anything over ~ 100 lbs / 45 kg with such a trailer. The high hitch would make for interesting handling, when braking and turning, because when loaded-up the trailer attempts to overrun and pushes against the seat post. This effect occurs with all hitches, but is much greater with high hitches.
I know that

talk of '300 lbs (137 kg)' and even larger payloads, but to haul these loads safely requires more common-sense and muscle than I could summon. Also good brakes and level-ground.
I still haven't built my new trailer yet. I have nearly scrounged all the parts.
