trailer

I live out in a farming community in Chuckey TN, the area that was torn apart recently by hurcane Helene. We used to have about 10 bridges that crossed the Nolachuckey River but now we are left with 3 1/2. The 1/2 is only one lane instead of 2. Of course this has caused some problems because now...

I recently installed a solar panel on my dump trailer battery. It has really solved my dead battery issues however recently one of the wires gets hot and starts smoking. The wire that smokes runs into the bottom of the onboard battery charger. The battery charger is never plugged in now given...

I have a winch on my trailer with a receiver mount. It's great until you have to install the winch on the trailer. It's gained weight in the last twenty-five years. I have a tongue box which I want to keep using for tie downs. I'm thinking about putting a narrow box on the front of the trailer...

Been needing a vise to hold objects I'm cutting, grinding, welding or sharpening, so I got a dual swivel vice and mounted it on the corner of my welding trailer. Needed this for awhile, so I took the time to weld 1/4" plate metal to the corner, then drill and mount the vice today. Should make...

I'm looking to purchase a trailer, mostly for hauling my tractor. I'm looking for 20'-22', 10K axles. I've never bought a trailer like this before and am a little overwhelmed by the choices and more so the price range. In my area, Central Michigan, the prices are starting at about 4500 and go...

My 14' PJ dump trailer quit dumping. It had always worked perfectly, then one day when I tried to lift the empty dump bed it didn't lift. It turns out that the welds on a plate in the scissor mechanism had broken. I'm fixin' to weld that plate back into place, but while I was under the trailer I...

I'm upgrading from a single 2000lb axle 4x8 tilt utility trailer to which I've added a 3500lb winch for tilting the bed up to 45 degrees for dumping the load. The power comes from a 50amp Anderson connector at the pickup rear that that connects to the pickup battery with a 60amp circuit...

Trailer goes up fine but takes forever to come down. Cleaned the tank and filter. Dealer was no help, said filter was the problem, than said a safety valve on the cylinder which there is none. Solenoid clicks when the down button

One of my electric brakes is stuck on my dump trailer. The wheel won't turn at all, it's real - real stuck! Trailer un-plugged of course. I tried rolling it forward and backward but it's kinda soft ground and it skids the wheel. It has a bit of weight on it, and some traction... it's not just...

Aluminum open car trailer with wooden deck - winch (rope type) ((used once)) - beaver tail - removable ramps - spare tire - duel axle - removal fenders. fenders are dented but function properly - not used much. PM for photos and more information. $2,000 - kept indoors since new.

This will sound really dumb. I purchased my 1st tractor last December, I bought a trailer at the same time but since the tractor was delivered by the tractor company I have not used my trailer as of yet. I am currently getting chains etc.. for future move. When I bought the trailer i asked the...

This will sound ridiculous probably :-) I purchased a Kioti 7320 with cab last December. I also purchased a 14k tilt trailer but I have not moved it yet. :-( I would like some advice as to chaining it down. I dont think this came with welded on tie downs for a chain to attach to. Moving it is...

I went ahead and juiced the tires on my T574 TLB, taking it into the realm of 5,000# (before loader and backhoe). I own (prior to the tractor) a 7K (dual 3500# axle) equipment/utility trailer that I was thinking of trading up to a 10K (dual 5000# axle). The key question for me will (obviously)...

I'm thinking can a BCS be DIY hitched to a normal road trailer? First I know I can't use the ball hitch. Second I haven't fully committed to the BCS 740 but I'm 95% there. However I've got a decent sized garden on a gentle sloap and can't get the car behind the house, but can get the trailer...

I have never towed this tractor on this trailer. I measured from ground level to the top of the rear wheel well and got 39" with the unloaded trailer attached. With the tractor backed onto on the trailer the measurement is 38". If the tractor is driven up onto the trailer, bucket first, and the...

I’m looking at getting a larger trailer for hauling materials (think lumber, steel beams, pallets of block/quickcrete). I’d like the ability to haul vehicles occasionally (3025e, Tacoma, older cars), but the main work would be done with materials. I’ve been getting by so far with my 8 foot bed...

I built myself a trailer for my Woodland Mills sawmill. I am a novice welder, but I can make metal stick together. Here is my finished product and a YT link to my videos if anyone is interested. Now the next project is to get my mill put together and installed on the trailer. Trailer build...

I picked up new cargo trailer this week, and I'll be going no a ~2,000 mile trek with it next month. I stopped at Lowe's yesterday to look at locks and what not, but didn't really like anything they had, if for no other reason, there wasn't a kit where the coupler and hitch pin locks would use...

I'm looking at purchasing a W-W Aluminum 2-horse bumper pull trailer. Should I be concerned about the age of the trailer? It has been well-kept and shows no sign of damage. Does anyone have experience with W-W trailers? Is there anything I need to inspect for metal fatigue, etc.? Thanks.

I had a 2023 Big Tex 22GN (35+5) with Mega Ramps and 48" spread axles. I bought this trailer to haul a skid steer and mini excavator or other equipment. Found out, it was just too big for what I would use it for. So, I sold it, and bought a GPS trailers 22+2... tag along (bumper pull), 14K (dual...

Yes we are looking at 4 series JD tractor. What might be a good trailer length for that with its loader? Been looking at 16 and 18's feet long.

I’m toying with the idea of getting one of these lightweight trailers to mount a diesel tank (< 50 gallons) and make for a mobile fueling station with a hand crank pump. It would be easy to hook up the trailer and haul to the fueling station, fill it and park it under a carport at home. No...

I've run into an oddball issue with the brakes on one of our trailers. Three of our trailers have electric brakes, a landscape trailer, a car hauler and a dump trailer. The same tow vehicle used on all, a 2020 RAM with factory trailer brake controller. Everything is fine with car hauler &...

45 hp diesel articulating tractor with only 812 hours. 1800 lbs. lift capacity, 9' clearance. Over 30 attachments available. This package includes bucket, forks, auger drive motor with 12",18"and 36"augers and custom built 10k trailer with 4 new tires. Tractor has a new starter, fuel pump...

I think the operator left something behind. How do you explain this to the boss? All credit to https://www.yahoo.com/news/truck-bed-slams-highway-sign-184734353.html

I have a low mile 4 door long bed 1999 F350 dually. It's a Powerstroke 7.3ltr with a 6 speed manual transmission, 4 wheel drive and a Dana70 limited slip rear axle. It works great for towing a 20' trailer and mini excavator (10,000lbs ). As i'm getting older my needs are changing. I would...

Anyone ever purchased axle \ trailer kit and put them under a 20' connex? did you add a sub-frame (ie: 5" boxe tubing) around the entire thing, or just along the sides? I'm considering building 2 to mount my solar on top of, and then if we relocate I have 20' enclosed HD trailers I can load up...

I have an old CAM Woodsman dump trailer that is 4'x8'. I got it mainly for us behind my tractor in the woods. It's great for that: since the wheels are tucked in under the sides the narrow profile makes it easy to maneuver down the trails in my woods. It's got a 3500# axle, but no brakes and no...

Hi all. looking for some ideas for a new dump trailer. I’ve got a good amount of dirt/wood chips to move on my property and I think this would be faster than going one bucket at a time with the loader. Given the distance I need to move (150 yd). Going to build a backstop this fall! Ideally I...

So, I’m thinking on ways to secure the tractor on the trailer, and had the thought that I could weld a SSQA plate onto the trailer and clip into it to secure the front of the tractor. Any thoughts positive or negative would be appreciated. Thanks, Jigs

I've occasionally thought of getting a small dump trailer for personal use. I recently bought a 2T mini-ex (4200#) and am wondering whether a trailer that size could haul it, or if it's likely too short. The footprint of my mini is about 4x5' (WxL) with the tracks extended. My truck is a 2020...

I need to do some interstate hauling with my 3039R. About 336 miles one-way. I will do this for about a year, or a bit less and then may sell the trailer or keep it to use with for hay hauling. In any event, I am in the market for a used or new trailer. Since this is a temporary need, I do...

I have a Tye-Bro Metals equipment trailer with a label which says: GVWR 12,000 lbs GAWR 6,000 lbs I understand that the above lists "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" - Meaning how much it can handle, including its own weight. I also understand that "Gross Axle Weight Rating" refers to what each...

This isn't really tractor related so I apologize now to anyone who is offended. Maybe the answers will help with any damaged 'tongue' farm equipment. I was given a trailer with a severely bent galvanized trailer tongue (see pics). Any thoughts on how to straighten it. I know, i know ...

I know most of you aren’t hauling equipment with enclosed trailers but we are in need of a new trailer around 7.5 or 8.5’ x 18’ approximately and I was wondering what brands y’all recommend? There are a hundred trailer brands out there now and it’s hard to know who makes a quality trailer and...

I came across this trailer frame near me and was thinking that I might get it. I'm considering converting it into a mobile office, equipment trailer or a dump trailer. Will this work? Does it look in good enough shape? What should I look out for before buying it? What improvements would need to...

May be a stupid idea/question.... but I'm hoping for some feedback on an idea I have. I have a shop with a covered wing and I strongly dislike leaving any equipment exposed to the elements if I can help it. Currently the tractor (bx2360) gets parked inside on on 1/2 of the shop with implements...

That is the conundrum - tractor + wheels is 6" wider than the width of the rails on my trailer. I had the wheels measured to see if we can flip them around and by the time we do that it only looks like we'll gain an inch or so - not enough. So the next option is to take the wheels off. The...

I have a trailer I carry my tractor on. It has a junior light I Beam on both sides. 2 1/4 inch flange, 8 inches high but only about 1/8 inch thick. An old mobile home frame from the 50s. Not rusted. The tractor is a cab MFWD 45 HP Mahindra 4510 with a Bush hog brand heavy 6...

I need a 7-pin trailer tester that has a remote cord long enough that I can sit in the driver's seat and observe the output of my truck. And..... I need a 7 pin trailer tester with 12v power so I can stand watch behind the trailer, push buttons on the remote and see the response. I don't know...

How do I prevent the dump bed from bouncing (on the hydraulics) when I have to lower a heavy bed? It seems kind of violent, it can't be good. I suppose there is an accumulator, but how do I size it? The trailer is about 3 yds (6'x10'x1.5') Thanks for the knowledge!

A 13 year old and two 14 year old girls died due to running a stop sign with a UTV they were riding in, stuck a tractor trailer. https://www.effinghamradio.com/2024/07/11/fatal-traffic-crash-in-shelby-county-wednesday/

I have a 24 foot long trailer. Four 7 foot long hickory detachable ramps in the back. When I load my tractor it lifts the back end of my pick up off the ground. Have loaded it without blocks under the back of the trailer and with them. The better method and the best for the trailer...

I'm trying to determine if I can legally tow a trailer in PA. This is the document that I am apparently not smart enough to parse. https://www.dot.state.pa.us/public/DVSPubsForms/BDL/BDL%20Fact%20Sheets/FS-NCAB.pdf I have a 2016 Silverado 3500 SRW. The trailer that I'd be towing has weight...

Hi all. I am looking to buy a new cargo/UTV trailer. Probably made by Proline trailers in NH. They have V nose cargo, and a Hybrid trailer that has a sloped nose starting about 2 1/2 feet from the frame and angling back to the roof. Pulling with a Ram 2500 6.4L gas. Does anyone have any...

I thought that I would share some simple but effective modifications I have made to my 10k equipment trailer that I mostly use to haul a load of hay for our horses. These mods are also helpful for other uses. I usually load 100 bales of hay. On the flat side, I can get five layers, twenty bales...

I have a gas motorhome. I want to tow a car-- either 4 wheels down (car only) or on a trailer. Weight is a concern as there are mountains in every direction. I found a lightweight trailer-- but it is aluminum. I know nothing about aluminum trailers. Is aluminum up to the rigors of road...

I have a small single axle 4X8 dump trailer. The pump, hydraulics, and battery are under the bed. How do you check the hydraulic fluid? To get to the pump and tank I have to raise the bed. Normally you want all hydraulics relaxed to check fluid level. There is a dip stick on the cap for the...

Noobie here, literally have maybe 1-2 hours on our new to us tractor. We've had a dump trailer for hauling stone, firewood, mulch, etc. but we need to replenish some of our landscaping stone around the house. We have black granite, so it's a bit bigger than your normal 3/4" rock. What's my best...

Hi guys, I want to buy a trailer to haul my TLB around. My first haul is going to be about 125 miles. I can't bust the budget here but I want something that will do the job. My needs may be one or two hauls per year. My Massey with loader and backhoe is about 2700 lbs. I'd appreciate...

Have a 2014 Mahindra 5010, a 50-hp tractor with FEL and bushhog. How big a bumper pull trailer do you think is needed? Could remove the bushhog, but leaving it hooked up, what's needed such that it isn't a big hassle to load? Prefer this to be a utility type trailer such that it could carry...

Does anyone know anything about these trailers? Any idea of a manufacturer so I can get specs? Does it have electric brakes? Looks like something you'd load a D3 on haul behind a dump truck. It is a tilt trailer too. I've been on the hunt lately for a 12-14 foot tandem axle equipment...

Has anyone made their own 7 blade trailer connector instead of buying the factory one that plugs into the factory wiring harness? What connector do you need to do this? here is an example of what I am talking about. TYM TRACTOR TRAILER SOCKET KIT

My 7000# open car hauler fenders are substantially beat up from hauling logs. The inside panels which are supposed to be welded to the frame are just flapping around. This becomes more pronounced when driving my tractor onto it but closes once the tractor is in place. My question is: Do fenders...

Hello all, I’m not sure if this is the place for this but I feel like this is the crowd. I have a home built trailer that was always a single axle, I added a second axle in January so I could pick up my tractor, didnt even have time to paint the new hardware, I didn’t think anything of this at...

I recently replaced the brakes, wheel bearings and races on my equipment trailer. Took it out for test run of about 30 miles and everything went fine. Left on a 1000 mile round trip. About half way through I noticed that one of the grease/dust caps on the hubs had departed the trailer. Of...

Hi all, I'm shopping for a trailer to haul a new holland work master 75 with loader and am seeking recommendations. At first I was looking at the partial tilt trailers with the fenders that raise above the decking but even the models that are 102" wide I am concerned will be a really tight fit...

In 2023 there was a law change in Oregon that said you can just place and then rent out a camper on your rural property as a tenancy. Everyone seems to be doing this now . I just go WTF, after years of complying to the rules. At first I thought these where ADUs. But nope, they are...

So, looking for a new trailer, I ran across 3 that are the exact same price but different builds. The 3 trailers are all 20' 14k Load Trails: 20' 'I Beam' frame w/Max Ramps and Toolbox- 20' 'Standard' frame w/Max Ramps and Toolbox- 20' 'Standard' frame w/Standup Ramps and Toolbox- And there...

I have a New Holland Boomer 24. I need a trailer to transport it once in a while. Long trips would be 10 miles for service with no attachments. Short trips with mower would be less than 5 miles. I have many other non-tractor uses for the trailer, so I'd like to keep it as small and light as...

I'm keeping my eyes out for another ~16k to ~20k trailer, pintle or gn to be pulled by 550/med duty without air brakes, used/budget/older, occasional use/not for commercial hauling. A more commonly seen, up-rated 14k (after considering tongue weight)- wouldn't be enough this case. "dually"/...

I just replaced my trailer (10K) brakes and while I was at it I did the bearings as well since they had some age on them. First let me say I have done bearings on NEW axles before but not replacement on long time USED axles. I followed all the specs as per usual on the bearings but I always...

So I needed a trailer to haul my 2502 around on. I purchased a used PJ 20' dovetail with 5200# axles. Just curious, what all ways have you fellers found that you can make money off a trailer?

I have 3 trailers with wood planks for the deck and I have been annually brushing on Olympic transparent sealer stain, but each year it flakes off and needs re-applied. I've seen/read where old timers use used motor oil mixed with diesel or kerosene and brush it on the wood on a hot summer...

Greetings, We have a 3500 GMC one-ton single rear axle with a metal dump box at work. The truck GVWR is 11,100lbs. This is mainly a shop run around truck but do on a rare occasion pull a trailer or travel out of the state of CT pulling a trailer to pick up or drop off equipment or supplies that...

The more chickens my wife hatches, the more feed I have to buy. I also buy feed for goats and horses. I'm spending a stupid amount of money feeding all these animals, and I'm trying to figure out a way to save a buck so she can have more animals. Joking. I enjoy the animals too, but I would...

Anyone using a lithium battery on their tilt or dump trailer? How do they perform? I’m considering one for my recently purchased tilt trailer.

I have an old trailer and the wooden deck is rotting out and needs to be replaced. I thought there was thread about this but I can't find it. So, what do folks recommend for a new deck to carry my 7K lb tractor?

I love our new Kubota tractor and I thank many of you in this forum for all the info that helped us to purchase a L6060 grand. We have been wrapping a strap around the front axle to trailer it and it felt sketchy. Mostly because we thought 1" ratchet straps from Harbor Frieght might be a bit...

I'm going to start off with yep I did a dumb thing and now I may need my tractor to get me out of a jam. So I was moving my RV around with my truck (2015 GMC Sierra) in my yard to get it to its new resting home and out of the low spot. It had rained several days earlier but I believed the ground...

Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a Bobcat CT4045 (from my understanding, rebranded Kioti DK4510) that I have a very specific need for. I am needing to pull a somewhat heavy trailer (somewhere around 8-10k lbs, not heavy by real world standards but heavy for the conditions)...

A couple weeks ago I built rear 3 point control and got good feedback. This week I want to show you another if you want to look: It's a "trailer" that I can use to take with me on trips with the regular trailer. I also can use it to unload the truck in seconds. It also works to keep logs out...

I thinking of towing my dump trailer with the 6065 to where I'm working (installing a new road). There are some pretty step hills. Would I need a brake controller like I have in my truck? --Bruce

I have a line on a 12' tandem trailer with brakes. It is a fair ways away, and before I drive to see it, I am wondering if it would handle my tractor with FEL (Bobcat CT2035). I have used a 14' before, and I think 12 would be tight, but I only haul the tractor a couple times a year, so doesn't...

I have a nice solid tandem trailer, but they built it using axles without flanges. I am handy with welder, wondering if I could weld on a set of flanges. The trailer shop I took it too said the weld on flanges they had would not work, not sure why. I assume they just were not comfortable doing...
