Well the missus gave me the nod to start shopping for a trailer for the horses. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, so I made sure it could also accomodate the 2305!
There's a slant wall on the inside, dividing the cargo from the tack room , giving me 10' length on the butt wall and 14 ' length on the head wall. Based on some initial measurements, I can get the tractor in with the FEL attached, but I'll need to take the rear ballast off (bb, blower or whatever).
With 2X7000# axles, I shouldn't have any difficulties pulling the tractor around.
One thing I'll need to determine is which way to park it to best position the heaviest point over the axles. My guess is the FEL and motor are probably the heaviest meaning I should probably back into the trailer.
I imagine I'll also need to fashion some kind of strapping system to secure the machine inside the closed trailer, or do you think I can get away with blocks around the front and back wheels with the e-brake engaged?
I haven't checked code restrictions in our province yet.
Anyhow.. I'm getting the gooseneck hitch installed this week and heading down to Wichita to pick it up next week. Can't wait!
