Ordered a new 16' Lamar gooseneck dump

[RichM752]

Special build with 12" oc crossmembers, 8k axles,17.5 16 ply tires, and 6" cylinder. As luck will have it, dealer had a build spot open and said three week delivery.
Sold the 14' Lamar yesterday, and now have the Diamond C equipment trailer on the auction block. Anyone interested in the Diamond C, I've got wiggle room.

Nice trailer!

+1 On the trailer - looks like a well-built, useful unit. I'm undecided about a tilt-deck or a dump myself. For me, I expect the flat deck to be more useful overall than would the dump.

You really need both.

That is a super nice trailer. I would love to get one that size once I have the need for it. I have a 5x10 Lamar dump now, and it is the only 5x10 with a single 7k axle. Little tank of a trailer, for sure! I have put 3 tons of gravel in it over and over (farm supply yard is only 2 miles down the road) and it handles it like a champ

Nice trailer!
I'm negotiating on an Iron Bull 24K triple 8k axle 8x18' gooseneck with dealer. What I am leary about is loading equipment into it (skid steer, toolcat, etc) and the approach angle. Also lugging those miserable ramps around. I'm not a 45 year old kid anymore :laughing:
Wondered if advisable to slightly raise dump bed to get rid of the "hump" where the ramps meet the tail of the trailer to lessen the chance of bottoming out? This is a deck over trailer, so loading height is higher and approach angle steeper. If I get a wireless remote, I could lower the dump once I get machine on board.
Not sure I'm completely sold on Iron Bull. In fact, I started a thread asking if anyone else here had one...

Really nice trailer! I like the way you spect it out , the 17.5 tires are a big plus , much heavier duty than the 14 ply. I’m also thinking a dump trailer would be very useful around the farm. Haven’t looked at the Lamar up close yet but they seem to have some of the nicest features, the heavier 7guage floor and I really like the rigid rail around the top sides. I would be going with a bumper pull so I could pull it with a tractor in the orchard and am leaning towards the drop axle for ease of loading debris by hand and clearance under limbs. Was the 14 footer u sold a straight axle or drop? Also would u recommend the 14 or step up to the 16’ in a bumper pull? Thanks, Brian
