Most of the guys here use double axle car type trailers of flatbed type with two 3500 pound axles with electric brakes... 16 or 18' in length... this way you are good to go for just about anything...
I towed my BX 23 400 miles with a heavy duty single axle equipment trailer with a 5000 pound axle... the deck was 10' plus the area on the V tongue hitch where the bucket was chained down... it just fit with not an inch to spare.
If money is no object... some use aluminum trailers to save weight on the tow vehicle.
7000 GVW trailers are pretty common.

I would recommend at least a 16' trailer with dual axles. 7K weight. I bought aluminum because I don't want to buy another one in the future.

I've towed my BX23 on a 14' tandem trailer and it barely fit. Doable, yes, recommended, no...16' would be much better...18' is ideal for centering the load.
Weight shouldn't be a problem on any tandem trailer. Brakes are needed as this weighs probably 2500# with everything attached.
I wouldn't try trailering a BX2** with a single axle utility trailer.

I use a 16ft dual axles trailer without brakes, now for my BX23, but looks like I am going to have to move up, as I am getting a B3200 Turbo, got to ask Devildog1 about the Turbo, its on the hood. I should get a 18ft dual axle with brakes next, I think. The main thing is to chain the tractor down good, and make sure your hitch chains are crossed under the toung, so as to hold if trailer comes off ball.

I have 18' tandem axle 7000 pound trailer for my B3200. I t works well with the tractor as TLB. Haven't tried any other way.

I'm using a 16' 7000# dual-axle Tuff trailer for my BX24. I wouldn't go any smaller.
Had this one built with surge brakes. Kodiak disks all around. They work very well.
