I will be hauling a Kubota B21 tractor a few times a year, just a few miles.
With loader, bachoe and loaded tires it weighs 4,400 pounds.
I have an opportunity to get a slightly used BigTex 60CH car hauler: GVWR=6,000#, two 3500# Dexter axles w/ electric brakes on one axle.
The local dealer says no way can this trailer work. I NEED a 10,000 # gvwr, C channel cross members instead of 2" angles, jackstands at the rear, etc etc at about DOUBLE the price.
I've rented a trailer locally that wasn't even as heavy duty as the big tex and it seemed ok, they use it all the time.
So what is the smallest I can safely use.
Sure, bigger would be better but I have a feeling its not necessary and don't know who to believe.
