It's 14' with a 6' tongue, to give me 12" tailgate clearance with front loader curled up when turning. Also, I had LAMAR use drop axles to lower the deck height 4" to prevent bottom of backhoe boom from scraping (clears by 1"). Crossmembers are 12" O.C because I haul a lot of rocks. Heres a shot from the rear.
I might add that sometimes I have grapple chained inside loader bucket, and with that extra 400# I position tractor two inches to the rear for a more balanced load. Tractor with loader bucket, grapple, and backhoe is right around 8000#.

Nice tractor, and VERY nice trailer. Is that a 3500 you are hauling with?

Don’t have to haul it much, if I did I’d want a wider trailer. Barely fits between axles.
