18' 10K PJ flatbed price?

[rgold1963]

The straight tail deckover PJ comes with 6'-6" ramps, whereas, the dovetail comes with either 5' slide in ramps or 5' fold up ramps. That means that you have a couple of more feet of ramp length on the dovetail. This assumes you can fit all your stuff on the flat deck area. Based on my limited experience loading vehicles and tractors on this trailer, I think it would be a lot harder to load without the dovetail.

I just bought a 20 foot (17 flat, 3 dove) PJ 10000 lb, 6 inch channel deckover trailer. The options included fold up ramps and a spare tire mount and spare. Price was right at $4100, so your $3025 price sounds like a smoking deal to me....

Anyway, here are a couple of pics of mine.

That is a sweet looking setup you have there. The trailer I am looking at is not a deckover but is plenty wide for what I need. I have decided to go with the 20' flat. I have an area where I can load and unload on a slight slope that will take a lot of the angle out of the ramps. Then I don't have to worry about dragging the dovetail at the end of my road where it meets the county road. After looking at it closely, there was no way it was going to clear that spot without dragging quite a bit.
I am picking up the new trailer on Tuesday on my way back from Portland.

After looking for several months at different brands, I ended up buying a new 18' 10,000lb PJ with brakes all around. Nicest trailer I could find out there. Well built, good paint (powder coat), lots of bells and whistles. Don't regret paying a little over what the competition was asking. Just seemed a better trailer. I think it was $2970.

Might be too late but I am a proud and happy owner of a PJ 18' DT 10k trailer. Car hauler style so it is nice and low. I love it. It does not bother me to have my tailwheel hanging over the back of the trailer when hauling my tractor loader and brushhog. I've put many many miles on it over the last 6 or 7 years.

It's really been great and always a head turner with those diamond plate fenders.

I bought mine in Chehalis at Olympic Trailer. Picked up at their Fife location.

rgold1963, I just bought a 83" x 20' PJ trailer. $2960 out the door (includes TTL). Mine is built to 12K specs that I registered for 10K. I'm hauling a Kubota L3400 w/FEL & RC. Takes up 20' exactly. I really don't like hanging the mower off the back of the trailer.

On the PJ I got all sorts of extras that you might or might not want. I added (included in the price) rear swing up stabilizers, side storage 5' ramps, D-rings, 7K recessed tongue jack, removable pipe rails, all LED lights, brakes on all axles, D rated new trailer tires, PT flooring, cross braces on 16" centers, Bull Dog hitch (2 5/16"), brake-away system, and spare tire, mounted. All PJ's are, of course, powder coated and encased wiring. Numerous colors but I bought black.

Obviously, I think PJ trailers are top quality. They can build the trailer to your needs and at a "right" price.

PJ is a great trailer.

Awesome, you'll like the 20' length (except when you want to run pick up something small, then it is just extra weight..:laughing
