May be a stupid idea/question.... but I'm hoping for some feedback on an idea I have.
I have a shop with a covered wing and I strongly dislike leaving any equipment exposed to the elements if I can help it. Currently the tractor (bx2360) gets parked inside on on 1/2 of the shop with implements...
That is the conundrum - tractor + wheels is 6" wider than the width of the rails on my trailer.
I had the wheels measured to see if we can flip them around and by the time we do that it only looks like we'll gain an inch or so - not enough.
So the next option is to take the wheels off. The...
I have a trailer I carry my tractor on. It has a junior light I Beam on both sides. 2 1/4 inch flange, 8 inches high but only about 1/8 inch thick. An old mobile home frame from the 50s. Not rusted. The tractor is a cab MFWD 45 HP Mahindra 4510 with a Bush hog brand heavy 6...
I need a 7-pin trailer tester that has a remote cord long enough that I can sit in the driver's seat and observe the output of my truck.
And.....
I need a 7 pin trailer tester with 12v power so I can stand watch behind the trailer,
push buttons on the remote and see the response.
I don't know...
How do I prevent the dump bed from bouncing (on the hydraulics) when I have to lower a heavy bed?
It seems kind of violent, it can't be good.
I suppose there is an accumulator, but how do I size it?
The trailer is about 3 yds (6'x10'x1.5')
Thanks for the knowledge!

I have a 24 foot long trailer. Four 7 foot long hickory detachable ramps in the back. When I load my tractor it lifts the back end of my pick up off the ground. Have loaded it without blocks under the back of the trailer and with them. The better method and the best for the trailer...

Hi all. I am looking to buy a new cargo/UTV trailer. Probably made by Proline trailers in NH. They have V nose cargo, and a Hybrid trailer that has a sloped nose starting about 2 1/2 feet from the frame and angling back to the roof. Pulling with a Ram 2500 6.4L gas.
Does anyone have any...
I thought that I would share some simple but effective modifications I have made to my 10k equipment trailer that I mostly use to haul a load of hay for our horses. These mods are also helpful for other uses.
I usually load 100 bales of hay. On the flat side, I can get five layers, twenty bales...
I have a gas motorhome. I want to tow a car-- either 4 wheels down (car only) or on a trailer. Weight is a concern as there are mountains in every direction.
I found a lightweight trailer-- but it is aluminum. I know nothing about aluminum trailers. Is aluminum up to the rigors of road...
I have a small single axle 4X8 dump trailer. The pump, hydraulics, and battery are under the bed. How do you check the hydraulic fluid? To get to the pump and tank I have to raise the bed. Normally you want all hydraulics relaxed to check fluid level. There is a dip stick on the cap for the...
Noobie here, literally have maybe 1-2 hours on our new to us tractor. We've had a dump trailer for hauling stone, firewood, mulch, etc. but we need to replenish some of our landscaping stone around the house. We have black granite, so it's a bit bigger than your normal 3/4" rock. What's my best...
Hi guys, I want to buy a trailer to haul my TLB around. My first haul is going to be about 125 miles. I can't bust the budget here but I want something that will do the job. My needs may be one or two hauls per year. My Massey with loader and backhoe is about 2700 lbs. I'd appreciate...
Have a 2014 Mahindra 5010, a 50-hp tractor with FEL and bushhog. How big a bumper pull trailer do you think is needed? Could remove the bushhog, but leaving it hooked up, what's needed such that it isn't a big hassle to load? Prefer this to be a utility type trailer such that it could carry...
Does anyone know anything about these trailers? Any idea of a manufacturer so I can get specs? Does it have electric brakes? Looks like something you'd load a D3 on haul behind a dump truck.
It is a tilt trailer too.
I've been on the hunt lately for a 12-14 foot tandem axle equipment...
Has anyone made their own 7 blade trailer connector instead of buying the factory one that plugs into the factory wiring harness? What connector do you need to do this? here is an example of what I am talking about. TYM TRACTOR TRAILER SOCKET KIT
My 7000# open car hauler fenders are substantially beat up from hauling logs. The inside panels which are supposed to be welded to the frame are just flapping around. This becomes more pronounced when driving my tractor onto it but closes once the tractor is in place. My question is: Do fenders...
Hello all, I’m not sure if this is the place for this but I feel like this is the crowd. I have a home built trailer that was always a single axle, I added a second axle in January so I could pick up my tractor, didnt even have time to paint the new hardware, I didn’t think anything of this at...
I recently replaced the brakes, wheel bearings and races on my equipment trailer. Took it out for test run of about 30 miles and everything went fine.
Left on a 1000 mile round trip. About half way through I noticed that one of the grease/dust caps on the hubs had departed the trailer. Of...
Hi all,
I'm shopping for a trailer to haul a new holland work master 75 with loader and am seeking recommendations. At first I was looking at the partial tilt trailers with the fenders that raise above the decking but even the models that are 102" wide I am concerned will be a really tight fit...
In 2023 there was a law change in Oregon that said you can just place and then rent out a camper on your rural property as a tenancy. Everyone seems to be doing this now . I just go WTF, after years of complying to the rules. At first I thought these where ADUs. But nope, they are...
So, looking for a new trailer, I ran across 3 that are the exact same price but different builds.

I have a New Holland Boomer 24. I need a trailer to transport it once in a while. Long trips would be 10 miles for service with no attachments. Short trips with mower would be less than 5 miles. I have many other non-tractor uses for the trailer, so I'd like to keep it as small and light as...
I'm keeping my eyes out for another ~16k to ~20k trailer, pintle or gn to be pulled by 550/med duty without air brakes, used/budget/older, occasional use/not for commercial hauling. A more commonly seen, up-rated 14k (after considering tongue weight)- wouldn't be enough this case.

I just replaced my trailer (10K) brakes and while I was at it I did the bearings as well since they had some age on them. First let me say I have done bearings on NEW axles before but not replacement on long time USED axles. I followed all the specs as per usual on the bearings but I always...
So I needed a trailer to haul my 2502 around on. I purchased a used PJ 20' dovetail with 5200# axles. Just curious, what all ways have you fellers found that you can make money off a trailer?
I have 3 trailers with wood planks for the deck and I have been annually brushing on Olympic transparent sealer stain, but each year it flakes off and needs re-applied.

Greetings,
We have a 3500 GMC one-ton single rear axle with a metal dump box at work. The truck GVWR is 11,100lbs. This is mainly a shop run around truck but do on a rare occasion pull a trailer or travel out of the state of CT pulling a trailer to pick up or drop off equipment or supplies that...
The more chickens my wife hatches, the more feed I have to buy. I also buy feed for goats and horses. I'm spending a stupid amount of money feeding all these animals, and I'm trying to figure out a way to save a buck so she can have more animals. Joking. I enjoy the animals too, but I would...
I have an old trailer and the wooden deck is rotting out and needs to be replaced. I thought there was thread about this but I can't find it. So, what do folks recommend for a new deck to carry my 7K lb tractor?
I love our new Kubota tractor and I thank many of you in this forum for all the info that helped us to purchase a L6060 grand. We have been wrapping a strap around the front axle to trailer it and it felt sketchy. Mostly because we thought 1" ratchet straps from Harbor Frieght might be a bit...

I'm going to start off with yep I did a dumb thing and now I may need my tractor to get me out of a jam. So I was moving my RV around with my truck (2015 GMC Sierra) in my yard to get it to its new resting home and out of the low spot. It had rained several days earlier but I believed the ground...
Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have a Bobcat CT4045 (from my understanding, rebranded Kioti DK4510) that I have a very specific need for. I am needing to pull a somewhat heavy trailer (somewhere around 8-10k lbs, not heavy by real world standards but heavy for the conditions)...
A couple weeks ago I built rear 3 point control and got good feedback.
This week I want to show you another if you want to look:
It's a "trailer" that I can use to take with me on trips with the regular trailer. I also can use it to unload the truck in seconds. It also works to keep logs out...
I thinking of towing my dump trailer with the 6065 to where I'm working (installing a new road). There are some pretty step hills. Would I need a brake controller like I have in my truck?

I have a line on a 12' tandem trailer with brakes. It is a fair ways away, and before I drive to see it, I am wondering if it would handle my tractor with FEL (Bobcat CT2035). I have used a 14' before, and I think 12 would be tight, but I only haul the tractor a couple times a year, so doesn't...
I have a nice solid tandem trailer, but they built it using axles without flanges. I am handy with welder, wondering if I could weld on a set of flanges. The trailer shop I took it too said the weld on flanges they had would not work, not sure why. I assume they just were not comfortable doing...
