The city and county are having a surplus equipment auction this weekend. They have five of these trailers listed for sale. The description calls them a 1989 Olathe 902 or 903 21' turf trailer. I can't find any info on the web about Olathe trailers. As you can see, these are a deck-over style, apparently about 21' long and I would guess at least 8' wide. The city used these to haul big Ransomes and Toro front deck mowers to various places around the city. If I remember right, they can put 2 of those big units on one trailer with some room to spare. The one in the picture is a triple axle unit, but the tires are pretty small. I suspect that the 903 is a triple axle and the 902 is a tandem axle. I have no idea what the axle weight ratings are. Would something like this work to haul my 1225 Massey? I'm looking at 1500# for the tractor, maybe another 400# for the loader, if mounted, and up to 500# for a 3 point implement.
What should something like this be worth to a sane buyer? Is this an OK alternative, or should I hold out for a 20' HD car hauler-type trailer?
Thanks for your help!
