I'm wondering if a 16' beavertail trailer will work for me. It's flat for 14' and then has 2' of tapered floor for 16' total.
I haul my L4300 Kubota around in the summer and it usually has a 1000 lb 6' tiller or 1100 lb 6' Brillion seeder hooked to it. Weight is maybe 5500 lbs max and that's on a good day. There are a couple times a summer when I haul a 6500 lb Deere 5520 that has an 85" wheelbase and 14' over all length.
Because of the tapered 2' of the above beavertail I mention I wonder if the tractor weight will be centered over the axles correctly or will put too much weight on the tongue of the trailer? This would be especially true when I haul the bigger tractor. Will the weight be cenered?
I was looking for an 18 ft trailer but his popped up and is a deal good enough that I want to consider.
