I admitted to overloading a trailer by 400 pounds not having a body buried in my backyard
Most trailers are under-rated to 75% as to have a little wiggle room. You guys are cruel![]()
WRONG! As soon as your trailer is overloaded by a pound it will self destruct causing it's contents to summer salt in the air and land on school children !
Well decided on the 12'er. Trailer is a 5 tonne, made by JDJ out of Ontario, really well built. It has the landscapers pkg. complete with underbody ramp kit. I have attached a few pics but it was dark when I got her home. My father in law was with me and likes to collect stuff (junk) so by the time we left the dealer we had a full load. I though it was pretty funny.
Will be trying the BX in her tomorrow for fitment, will post more pics then.

I used to haul my BX24 around in a 6x12 dumper just like that...I made a 2x4 insert to rest the bucket on the front wall of the trailer and also had to swing the backhoe to one side in order for it to fit. Tight, but quite adequate!
A hint for loading the tractor...raise the dump bed a foot or so and that will lower the ramp angle a bit for a smooth entry into the trailer!
