Trailer

You can always cheat a bit and let that hoe hang over the rear of the trailer.

I'm real careful to jeep the bulk of the tractor over the axels for even weight distribution.

For Illinois...
A combination of vehicles specially designed to transport motor vehicles
may have an overall length of 65 ft. plus a front overhang of 3 ft. and a
rear overhang of 4 ft. on Class I and II highways. On all other highways
and streets, the maximum overall length is 60 ft. including load.

I was hopeing to not have any overhang but......Man I wish I could see a picture of a 16' with the tractor and BH like mine loaded up!

I will try to upload some pics of my trailer tomorrow. I have a B7610 w/hoe.

The pics I have now will not upload?? Will try a different camra that hasn't had problems.

My backhoe transport.

Here is the only shot I have of the tractor on the trailer. The backhoe is right at the back of the trailer. Balance is good with the box blade.
No load leveling hitch used. I already had an extra leaf put in my rear springs as the dakota stock springs are soft and would drop most of the travel with only 600lbs in the box.

Don't have a picture of your model of tractor, but, this is a Mahindra 2615 (I thinks it's larger then the Kubota your speaking of) loaded on a 16' dove tail with the box scraper up front, brush hog attached to the back, farm blade on top of mower. There would be plenty of room for a backhoe without the mower and box up front. Under the 7000 GVW trailer weight (trailer, tractor, implements) and I pull it with a 1/2 ton Dodge (Hemi). Pulled it over a 4500 ft pass with a 7% grade on the other side and trailer handled well. I don't pull it all the time, but the 16' works for my needs. Bought the trailer new with 4 electric breaks and break away system for 1795.00. It also serves as a dump trailer (with sides and steak pockets), hauling lumber, a car, etc.

One more pic. Brush hog wheel hangs off the back a little but not enough to even justify a red flag attached to it.
