getting bx24 this week

[newbury]

Use your trailer until you can get the money for what you need!
Just make two trips for everything.
1 load for the tractor,
BX24 1520 lbs
1 load for the rest
loader+backhoe+mower=about 1500lbs with fuel etc.

Just make sure your trips are short and your tires are great.

I'm told I need a 16' 7000# trailer with 4 wheels and 4 brakes to haul my BX23 on.
This does not mean a lightly built landscape trailer either.
A BX24 would require the same requirements.
Your 04 Ford may be ok if it's a 3/4ton but I'm not sure about the suburan.
I'm looking for a 1 ton SRW pickup for a tow vehicle.

Your suburban should be able to pull the load no problem. A 1/2 ton should be more than capable of hauling your tractor on a 7K trailer.

You don't want to haul that tractor on a single axle light duty trailer.

I remember growing up, my dad pulled our travel trailer 4K empty, who knows fully loaded with three motocross bikes, food, water, clothes, tools, gas ,food, etc. with our 1/2 ton chevy van, 350, four barrell, tow package, we hauled that rig 100K miles easy. He insisted on the brakes working perfectly, the sway bar and load leveling hitch.

Remember one time a lady passing us on a grade, cut us off and hooked my dad's bumper, he hit the brakes and the trailer and truck stopped us and her in short order.

Your ford and chevy truck will tow the BX/trailer just fine. It just the trailer size you have is just not up to par with everything attached. Glad to hear your dealer gonna deliver. Sometimes this is the best way to go, give you a chance to talk tractor shop when he drops it off

Personally, I would never put that tractor on a single axle trailer, It's too heavy and that would be a very unstable load. Besides, My BX cost more than my truck, so take that into account in terms of financial risk.

I talked to my insurance guy and he said that the tractor is not covered on the trailer..sounds odd to me, but that's what he said. The only policy I could get for it is a commercial policy for 500-600 per year. Couldn't justify that, so it stays on my property.

You don't need a 3/4 ton truck to pull this...any V8 half ton will do fine. I've pulled 8K travel trailers with my GMC 1/2 ton Z71 with no problems. You know the load is back there, but it does just fine.

Funtioning trailer brakes are a must.

There is no material difference between a 7K car trailer and a 7k landscape trailer, just gates and configurations. The axles are what is generally rated anyway.

Thanks tim- its pretty much what I been saying all along.

If your financing it through Kubota, get the insurance that Kubota offers. Very cheap, but very good coverage!

So then what differences in them are there?
There must be some or one wouldn't be
a car trailer & the other a landscape trailer,

Car trailers are flat deck generally without sides and use ramps. LS trailers have some kind of sides and a fold down rear drive up gate and always have a flat deck.

Car trailers have runners or flat deck configs,....Frames and axles are the same in the same weight class.

Not sure what you're thinking of here, big box single axle trailers?

I hauled an '50 8n with FEL on a 7k ladscape traler with no problem, along with pickup trucks..The gate wasn't too happy, but everything else was cool.
