Any landscape or utility trailers better than this one for the $?

Slow speed delivery around town is far different than highway speed travel, and that single axle has duel wheels on each side so one tire failure doesn’t create severe handling problems.

On a more serious note they make some fairly beefy single axel equipment trailers. They’re fairly common with rental yards. This one has a 7,000 pound axel. View attachment 725024

Yep, I wouldn’t own one for driving any distance at highway speeds. Your life depends on not having a tire failure

That is a highway truck. The in town trucks usually have the side access roll up doors. I think we can agree that’s in a different league than a 5x8 trailer but it is by definition a single axel.

True. With duel wheels. Not the same thing as those single axle utility trailers that we are discussing on this thread.

What about the trailer I posted in post 40? There would be nothing wrong with putting a B series tractor on that.

Yep. My Stage Coach utility trailer single axle is a 7000 lb axle. Solid C-channel cross members and frame. Probably not as stout as the tilt you are showing which is more for skid steer transport. Being longer and with mesh sides I can haul one heck of a load of mulch, an occasional Kubota and everything short of larger tractors where I go to the Pequea dual axle.

Lots of people do that, and lots do just fine. Where I live in the west it’s common to drive hundreds of miles at 75 mph. Nobody around here hauls equipment down highways with single axles. I’ve hauled large loads of lumber and hay in single axle trailers, but am careful to stay on back roads and keep my speed down. I’ve experienced tire failure in a single axle trailer and fought to keep it in control. I’ve also experienced tire failure in a double axle travel trailer and had no difficulty controlling it. Do what you want, but there’s a reason why almost all equipment trailers are duel axle.

Prices are going up. I bought a 7 x 22 7000 lb tandem axle trailer last spring for $3600. Now, they are asking $4175 for a 20 footer.
I really like the tailgate/ramp, but it is a gas killer if you tow the trailer empty. I use the new trailer for hauling my two SXS. Haven't put the TLB on it, yet.

I think you'll be fine with a 16' trailer for you TLB. My old trailer was 16' and I hauled my MF1260 TLB on it. It's a little bigger than your B2920. Set the front bucket on the front bed rail and swing the backhoe to the side (Although that's not how it is in the picture). In this picture I have the TLB a little too far forward. This was the first time I hauled it. Now I load it back 6" to 8" from what is shown.

You'll notice that the front chains go over the top of the side rail to a tie down point. We have since cut a small opening in the side so the chains go directly to the tie down. That makes for a much more secure load. You'll want to do something similar to the mesh on the trailer you are looking at.

Good luck trailer shopping.

Has anyone seen a deck-over tandem axle trailer with no beaver tail and a mesh ramp gate? Can larger zero turns get over the “hump” where tailgate meets trailer?

Your transmission would go south pretty quick with my GN. The trailer alone is over 10K with a 14K payload capacity. A bit more than a Tundra can deal with. I don't consider that to be a full size truck anyway.

It dont need to tow that much - thankfully because i would be trying to justify a new HD diesel. the tundra im building for beach driving and i picked that because once i get it all modified I can keep it forever. My Ram fell apart quick. the tundra doesnt seem any smaller then the other 1/2 tons
