Can I buy a trailer for my tractor around $2000

[blackrams]

Expand your search and consider alternatives. When I wanted a trailer for light duty jobs (I consider a 4K lb. tractor as light duty) I found an old tandem axle boat trailer with tilt bed and brakes on both axles, had it welded up to be exactly what I wanted. It's got 3500 lb. tandem axles, tilts for loading/unloading and pulls like it's not even there. I've got four other trailers, all goose necks for heavier loads. It was a waste of fuel to load my small tractor on to one of them. Just a suggestion, do what you will with it. My total investment in that old boat trailer is about $1500. That includes the trailer, materials, welding, lights and new brakes. I also use this trailer as a light vehicle auto hauler. I keep the loads under 5K lbs.

I didn't read the whole thread but the answer is yes.

Come to Utah and you can buy mine. :laughing: 16' duel axle, brakes on the rear axle. I need to get a bigger one like a PJ 30' gooseneck.

108" wide?
Max legal width is 102"
Other than not being legal, sounds like a good deal.

Legal shmeagal, it's nice and wide

Legal shmeagal, it's nice and wide

But officer: "the accident was not my fault".
"you measured my trailer at 6" over the legal width"?
" The trailer width did not contribute to the cause of the accident"
" I am sure my insurance company will not care about that"
" Trailer width is just a meaningless statistic"
" The state RMV does not really care"
"besides, I was not expecting to have an accident"

We owned the trailer over a decade before we realized it's a little wide. It's too late now, it's a part of the family.
