Does anyone make a deck-over with the back half tilt down?

Yes, I believe PJ does. I know a lot of others do too.

Nice trailer, but I believe that is overkill for LB and his little BX.

LB I think you are making this a way more difficult decision than what it really is. If you were commercial hauling lots of different heavy equipment everyday, but for an occasional hauling of something small like a BX.

I think you are kidding yourself if you think you will be hauling buildings on a trailer anyway - how often are you going to do something like that? Unless you are going to start building a selling them. Then there is a reason why the guys that do it use the big roll back trucks. Too much wind resistance/top heavy. Unless you move up to a really big trailer or something like what J J posted.

That trailer I posted is only 20 , or 22 ft. Here is the link. What is the total length of a med size trsctor with a bush hog attached?

First, that's a hydraulic dove trailer. I thought you meant a tilt trailer with 4-5' in the front that are stationary.

Second, a BX is VERY small. A garden tractor with ROPS. And, I don't even think he has a bush hog, but he does have backhoe that is a little smaller than a bush hog, and it's maneuverable. He'd be fine with 14ft. it'd be tight, but it'd work.

LB, (JMHO)

If you are wanting to haul your tractor, car, lumber, etc...and no buildings, then this is all you need.

*Truck---1/2 ton, auto, 4x4, V-8

*Trailer---16ft. to 20ft. Car Hauler. (brakes on trailer)

*Use a weight distribution hitch with sway control.

If you listen to other people on (another thread) they will have you trying to haul 26000lbs. with a pickup truck and trying to make you into a "Hot Shot Trucker" which will get you killed. I think you said that you had never hauled anything with a trailer before.

I won't tell you here how much weight i hauled with my F-250 or my F-150, when i needed to haul a load in one trip and not two, but i don't tow that much anymore,

The two tractor trailer company's i use to drive for was a flatbed division, and sometimes i would have a load that if i had extra chains/binders i would be over weight.

What a couple people on (another thread) don't realize is, that there is probably teenage kids or someone that has never towed/hauled before, and has already viewed their post. So they probably figure if someone is towing 26000lb. with a pickup, than they will be able to haul that much.

I have had the best training in hauling with tractor trailers, and i used what i learned to haul with a pickup truck but follow the (GVWR) and don't go over that, and don't brag about going over the (GVWR) for everyone to see.

If you get a trailer with brakes,(use them) and a weight distribution hitch with sway-control will help, some of the others don't think so since they are experts in boat towing.

Hope you find the best setup for your needs.

LB,

If you decide to haul bigger loads, then get a bigger truck and the trailer that J_J found would be the best, for hauling buildings__etc...

Kyle.

The trailer I posted above is still called a tilt bed because it doesn't have fold up ramps. All dovetails have fold-up ramps. The trailer that I have now is an 18 foot deck-over, with a 7 foot add on dovetail with ramps. I may change it to hydraulic dovetail in the future, or hydraulic ramps

 

[farmboy12]

J J-
It technically does have a dovetail. Just looks like a normal flat deck while driving on the road. But I don't want to start any arguments.

P.S.-
I've seen that 2nd pic on here before. I wonder if LB can see what's wrong with it...
