Have purchased a new 18' trailer to haul my Kubota 2800 w/FEL on. I have been blocking the end of the dovetail with timbers to keep the rear of the trailer from sinking and the front from raising the rear of my truck when loading.
Wonder if I could install jacks at the rear of the trailer by welding on the round pipe to a plate and bolt that to the sidewalls of the trailer frame to get a "straight" lift at the dovetail. I imagine that I would need a 5000lb. jack on either side?
Not having said jack in hand, could it be removed from the pipe which is welded to the frame? Using the pin to hold the jack in line during use, then it could be removed from the trailer for the haul, if that is possible. I tend to "snag" things, and would like to be able to remove the jack if possible.
