I will be retiring in a few months and want to buy a skid steer with a heavy duty rotary cutter, I also want to purchase a grapple and dump trailer to do some work with, out of conveneince of hauling the skid steer and being able to use the dump trailer on the same jobsite I have been looking at dump trailers with ramps, but they sure don't look stout enough to put 9 or 10 k on them without bending or bowing, I realize that lessening the degree of angle would make loading it easier but I just wonder about the strength of the ramps. Just some more info I am looking at a 16' low profile dump trailer with 2' sides probably gooseneck and probably upgrade to 2- 8k axles , I already have a 20' equipment trailer bumper pull with 2- 7k axles and a 25+5 gooseneck with pierced deck that I could haul it on but the gooseneck will be tough to get into some of the places that I would need to go, so I'm interested in some info from you guys with experience on some of this. Thanks. Charlie.
