Is there an equipment trailer/car hauler with sides?

[donn12]

I dont like the "make your own" wood sides. I am going to get a 18' tandem trailer for my B2920 and I am thinking about a Holmes 18" landscape trailer. I would prefer a car hauler/equipment trailer if I could find one that comes with welded on sides. Even if they are not huge I will get much more use out of this and be happier with it.
I have had a holmes trailer and they are the best but the one I am thinking about is almost 3k!

Many car railers today have at least one fender that is removeable so you can operate a door enough to get in and out. Welded sides might really complicate that proccess.

Do a search for 5" Channel Landscape Trailer, there are a few companies that make them. I have one made by a company in Maine. 4" channel should also work as well for your tractor, just avoid 3" angle frame landscape trailers.

Here are specs on another brand:

Maybe I'm misreading your post, but it almost sounds like you need a dump trailer.

No dump - just regular landscape or equipment trailer

A friend of mine has a dump trailer that he bought used and it is extremely handy. The sides are about 4' high and he drives his tractor in it and doesn't even tie it down. You can carry anything in it that you can put in any other trailer and the dump feature is a great asset. He hauled some scrap metal and chain link fence for me and it took about a minute to unload it in my pasture.
As far as your origian question it wouldn't be very expensive to have someone weld some 2"x2" angle vertically on the sides of a car hauler and then you could either bolt plywood sides to them or weld some expanded metal on them.
I have a car hauler with no sides for hauling my tractor and hay and I also have a utility trailer with sides for hauling mulch, sand, dirt, or whatever else I want to haul. I was planning on selling the utility trailer when I finished my tractor hauler but is is so handy I am going to keep it.

I'm looking for the same thing...Found a 18'x83" 7000# beaver tail with landscape sides for anywhere from 2500-3000 depending on dealer. The sides may complicate some things, but it does make the trailer more multi-purpose.

The problem with sides is that you can't load or unload over them with a set of forks .

Not something that I ever need to do.

I am not worried about unloading the side with forks. Maybe these are just more money than I thought. The Holmes looks like it might be my best bet.
