--Adding to my pile of goodies as I eluded to a post or so above is a Carson 7'X14' I.D., 12,000 GVW Dump Trailer. We threw on a 10K landing gear at the tongue, it makes it EASY! :thumbsup: This thing is solid... Hopefully I am "paying it forward" to someone else who is tryin to determine a trailer sized right for a BX25 and can see what I did. This trailer is almost made for this tractor:thumbsup: It fits NICE, just swing the boom to one side and Viola!
--The BX25 FEL Bucket clears the side walls, not just barely but not w/ tons of room to spare either. The push-bar on the front of the tractor hits the rubber only on the tires making it a no-scratch, no-dent, no-brainer, even not right in frount of the tires it is easy to see where your at. I loaded up one side then the other and off we went to the dump!
--The outriggers even lower perfectly just inside the walls of the trailer. I added many "D" rings inside, removable if I please and bought Rachet Straps (Custom Rachet Straps made MY WAY, rated at 3333LBS touted at 11,000 I think it was. I paid a whooping $13.50 EA for the rachet straps! They come configured in HUNDREDS of flavors and many cifferent colors as well.
--Pictured below is some more fun today. Yes, it was overloaded, I think this pile off Asphat was 9200lbs w/ a 7000 rated payload on a 12,000GVW trailer. It was the last load, no problems pulling it w/ the mighty Isuzu Turbo 4-banger in my NPR and the trailer hydraulic took it like a man and got the job done w/o a whimper.
--The loading ramps tuck away inside the trailer frame. You can see two brass locks, very rear lower) that hold the ramp-doors shut when you lift.
-- I also added Jari USA tie down lugs. They are a nice set except I trashed there rear bolts and upsized to a 3/8"-16 SS Hex Bolt X about 4.5" long. The fronts use existing frame hardware.
