If the trailer has 3500 pound axles, it can haul 7000 pounds, MINUS the weight of the trailer. How much does it weigh?

For instance, I have a similar trailer. It weighs 1500#, so I have a usefull load capacity of 5500#. Subtract your ~4500# tractor and I still have room for 1000# of implement, etc...

Sounds like a sturdy trailer, is that 14 plus 2 feet or 16 plus 2 feet = 18'

 

[rollbar]

it's a 16' be plus a 2' dovetail- total 18'

 

[rollbar]

excuse my spelling-it's a 16' bed plus the 2' dovetail, total length is 18'

does 1720.00 sound like a fair price?

 

[MrJimi]

Conventional springs or torsion axles? at that price it must be springs
great deal
post some pictures when you get it
something like that around here would go for around $2,500

about right on price for new ones. we bought one 5 years agor for 950.00, 16' + 2' dove, twin #3500 axels, wood deck, ramps and brakes on 1 axel. now days i have seen them from 1700 to 2200 for the same trailer.

Just went through extensive trailer shopping. That is a very fair price...a pretty good price, actually.

I paid around $2400 for a similar size 7K trailer. Mine also had the stow away ramps which I grew to hate over time...probably just me.
