Dump Trailer Size for a B7610 w/FEL & BH

cny · May 2, 2005

I am looking to purchase a dump trailer with ramps to haul a B7610 with backhoe and front end loader.

I only have a 1/2 GMC pickup so I am looking to stay as small (light) as possible.

I was thinking 6'x10' 7000lb GVWR. I don't really care if the loader rests on or overhangs the front of the trailer. I am more concerned that if I do this I may have too much tongue weight.

What is everyone using?

A 10 ft trailer maybe a little short. Do a search on this site and you'll find a number of pics of other member's rigs.
I went with an 18 ft flatbed. I weights around 2500# and is rated for 12K#. Not much good for you.
I'll try to scrounge up a pic .

I think you may want larger, here is a picture of my BX on my old 6x10' trailer. As you can see not a lot of room.

Thanks surfran,
Your's was the post that came to mind. The search engine was off line today, so I wasn't able to follow-up. Small tractors grow pretty long once you add a few attachments.

10' won't work for your CUT, FEL and BH. Hanging the FEL and BH over the edge of the trailer will surely get you ticketed. 16' would be minimum for your needs. Here's my BX on an 18' for comparison.
