Buying a new GN trailer: tilt or deckover?

[econometrics]

I meant to add, I'll deliver it anywhere in the country (even Canada) - if you buy me a truck strong enough to haul it! :thumbsup:

What an offer!

I see it says ya in east Texas what part .

I have went all the way down to alto , Tx to buy a Craigslist trailer a Kearny 20' gooseneck for $2000.

My 40' I found it in Northern Alabama . Couldn't get a new one anywhere in Texas as they was all behind . And used in the area I couldn't find at the time . It was still a heck of a deal even with the little fuel to buy it .

I'm in the south west corner of Arkansas . 50 miles from Texas 8 miles from Oklahoma .

I'm in the Tyler area, so I know where ole Alto is.

Honestly, I'm not in a position to have to drive much more than 2 hours to fetch a trailer, so I'm keeping my searches pretty regional.

There's a dodge dealer down there he's who I bought that used Kearny from . He sells new ones also at the best prices I had found but all he had was a used one at the time and I was in need .
You should check him out .

I'm planning to buy another 20' this year and most likely will by one from him again .

Here's the one I bought from him . It didn't have the uprights I added them for my shade .









It's like the 24' I have also that I use to haul my m7040 . And watermelons . These trailer work good for haul tractors . Easy on easy off .

Thanks! I've seen both of those already and they aren't what I'm looking for, so I've passed on them.

And I most definitely appreciate it!

I think I've pretty well accepted the fact that I am going to buy a new trailer. Unless some outlandish deal presents itself before I do.

Nothing wrong there .

Buying used ya have to factor in replacing the bearing which are cheap . The floor which really ain't that high either . And tires . Which for me even if I bought new they would get replaced as soon as I got it home with 14ply tires .

But nothing wrong with new I have a few that was bought new .

I believe I have 15 or so trailers right now and still want another 20'pipe rail gooseneck and a heavy built pipe 16' bumper pull and a 32' dual tandem . And then who knows what .

If you're ordering new PJ have you considered upgrade to 8000 lb axles (17.5 singles)? Could be a nice compromise instead of duals for use with your truck.

PJ slso makes a SUPERWIDE lowboy model, full width with driveover fenders.

If you envision ever loading wide stuff or tractor with rear tires set way out better to stay with deckover. I would forget about tilt, heavier and more expense.
