So the local trailer place say they have angle steel frame and for $100 more c channel frame is it worth it?

 

[Diamondpilot]

Yes. Look up on google the strenth of various steel sizes in angle an C.

C Channel will be a good deal stronger. I would spend the extra cash

Not enough Info. Angle is probably ok for hauling lawn mowers and other light weight stuff. What are you hauling? What size type trailer are you looking at?

Steve.....don't know where you're looking to purchase but check out Top Notch Trailers in Rochester. I bought a 16 ft. from them several years back.....good product.....reasonable price and I've hauled cars from So. Calif. and my tractor all over the place. Purchased direct from factory saved me some money.
Top Notch Trailers, Rochester, WA - serving Olympia, Centralia, Washington and neighboring states Good luck.:thumbsup:

I think I'd go with channel iron, I-Beam, or tube steel.

Also note there is a structural grade of channel iron and a not so structural grade. With the structural channel iron, the ends are thicker than the webbing, and tapered. The other channel would be more like bent flat steel.

My little 8' Haulin trailer has the bent channel, and it makes a nice light utility trailer, but You'd probably want something more substantial for your car/tractor trailer.

Your Kubota is pretty small without bucket, backhoe, weights, fluid filled tires, etc. If the company is building the trailer from scratch, you might try to get the fully accessorized tractor weight and give it to the manufacturer. Also, whether you will in fact carry cars, and what type.

Thinking about bulldogs.
I prefer the bulldog style trailer hitches. The are easy to use, and quite secure.


You can also get surge brakes, in the trailer hitch which might not be a bad idea if you don't have electric brakes.
