rollbar · 05-20-2008, 11:21 PM

I just ordered a 16' flatbed trailer w/24" dovetail extension. 2 drop down
weight supports in rear-- 3500# tandem axles, brakes on both axles,
82" wide , treated floor -painted, stow away ramps new tires,
5" channel- price $ 1720.00 is this about right? gonna haul a 4520 jd machine. thanks for any input!

If the trailer has 3500 pound axles, it can haul 7000 pounds, MINUS the weight of the trailer. How much does it weigh?

For instance, I have a similar trailer. It weighs 1500#, so I have a usefull load capacity of 5500#. Subtract your ~4500# tractor and I still have room for 1000# of implement, etc...

Sounds like a sturdy trailer, is that 14 plus 2 feet or 16 plus 2 feet = 18'

rollbar · 05-21-2008, 12:22 AM

it's a 16' be plus a 2' dovetail- total 18'

rollbar · 05-21-2008, 12:24 AM

excuse my spelling-it's a 16' bed plus the 2' dovetail, total length is 18'

does 1720.00 sound like a fair price?

Conventional springs or torsion axles? at that price it must be springs
great deal
post some pictures when you get it
something like that around here would go for around $2,500

about right on price for new ones. we bought one 5 years agor for 950.00, 16' + 2' dove, twin #3500 axels, wood deck, ramps and brakes on 1 axel. now days i have seen them from 1700 to 2200 for the same trailer.

Just went through extensive trailer shopping. That is a very fair price...a pretty good price, actually.

I paid around $2400 for a similar size 7K trailer. Mine also had the stow away ramps which I grew to hate over time...probably just me.

Where'd you get this trailer? Wish you had your location in your profile.
