BX 25 in 10ft dump trailer??

[katoomed00]

No pic, But I put my BX24 in my 6X10 dump trailer with no problems, just hang the FEL over the front, in fact I don't even strap it down since it holds itself in place by doing this.

An emergency stop will send that rig over the top and regardless of how the incident started, you will be at fault for not securing your load. There was another thread here a few weeks ago with this exact scenario. The BX flipped up and over the pickup.

Really??? And this is effective when you stop suddenly and unexpectedly? Good luck to you... You might need some.

Seems that in virtually every "will this fit on that trailer" thread there is a response from someone who doesn't fasten their equipment down. Kinda scary......

What you need is something like this to keep the loader from leaking down.

There are also cylinder locks that slip over the rod end of the cylinder to hold the loader up on machines that do not have the built in boom lock.

Is that "copyrighted"?:laughing:

Common sense would tell us not to use under rated 4 lug axles to haul this much weight, no matter the distance.

Not sure what the fuss is. You can easily carry a 3,000 lb tractor on a 2,000 lb axle. You just have to ensure all but 2,000 lbs is on the tongue and the tongue is rated for the weight. I see the tractor rear tire over the trailer tire so would guess a lot of weight is on the tongue.

Don't get me started about stopping.

Um, that formula works great as long as the empty trailer weighs zero, I haven't seen one of them yet..

Helium tires?

And if the tongue on the lightweight 2000# rated trailer is designed to carry 1000# rather than the normal tongue weight of 200-400# for a trailer that size...
