Hey guys,
So I am looking a bit into getting a trailer to haul my tractor with.
I found the following trailer on Craigslist:
6x12 two axle trailer
It is a 6x12 trailer, 2 axles (both are brake axles), with a regular hitch (can't afford a gooseneck right now ).
Brakes need to be fixed, and I sent the seller an email asking if everything else (suspension, tires, floor, etc.) checked out.
He said he would fix one of the brake axles and sell the trailer for $800, and would sell the trailer without the brakes being fixed for $700.
So on to the questions:
I measured my tractor with the bush hog on, this is the longest setup that I can think of that I would have to trailer with.
From the weight box on the front of the tractor to the end of the wheel on the bush hog it measures 172 inches, a bit over 14 feet.
From the weight box to the front tire, it measures 18".
So, would this be enough trailer? Could I leave the front of the tractor hanging over the edge, or turn the tractor around and have the bush hog part way over the front lip of the floor on the trailer?
Or do I just need to look for a bigger trailer?
Thanks for any help!
