here's my new trailer.

[Complete Turf Care]

Here are pics of mine. It's a Top Hat 28' with a 2' dovetail. Some of the options I ordered are:
14 ply tires
spare tire
2' dovetail
Spring assist ramps
102" wide
Drive over fenders
dual jack stands with toolbox between (probably should have got the 2 speed jacks but that was about $500 more.)
D-rings

Total price before taxes was about $7800

I have found that triple axle trailers tend to be hard on the wheel bearings
they seem to fight each other on turns my:2cents:

Just an FYI, I now have three triple axle trailers. Big boats on the other two. I have had lots of tire problems.

I have been running triple axle trailers for 12 years now upto 24,000# GVWR. I have had no issue. I replace tires every 4 years, run at max inflation, service bearings and brakes every other year, ect.

Well these tire issues I had I can understand.
Both boats were older when we bought them, tires old too.
First boat had no trouble first year, the first trip next year got rid of three tires, 2nd trip got the last three. All new for that trailer now and three spares.
2nd was an old 30 foot pontoon with 20.5x8-10 tires. Hauled it 840 miles no trouble. over the next couple of trips got rid of all of the original tires. Have three spares for that too.
So far,no more trouble.

The problem I had with the 10 ply tires is that when I would make a sharp turn with a load on the trailer, the steel belts would separate. Then they would develope a lump and eventually blow out

allen in texas - I just drooled a bit there, sorry 'bout that. hobby farming is my limit. 3500 lb single axle trailer, 7 wide x 12 long deck between wheels - good for 3 ATVs side by side ... or other stuff, not heavy equipment . cheers BC, Canada

Trailer is fine, but the tractor is now too small.

Thanks a lot Bruce.
