Help me decide deckover or low pro

[jamescottr7]

I love my low tilt trailer for hauling my tractor and heavier loads. I also have a deck over I haul my side by side, 4 wheelers and fire wood on. On the deck over I have walls and ramp made. I have hauled my smaller tractor on the deck over a Kubota b3030 but I prefer the tilt trailer

I've been reading all the comments and weighing the pro's and cons of the advise given.
This is the most I've ever agonized over an equipment purchase but I'm glad I'm taking the time to sort it all out.
If I had a dealer close to me I'd be looking hard at a Moritz International with the adjustable tail but there isn't a dealer within 100 miles and the one dealer I reached out two had zero interest in selling me a trailer. I'm going to place the order for the low pro Cam Superline on Monday. The trailer will do everything I need it to and I won't loose the load capacity of the other trailers I've looked hard at. Corn Pro was another manufacture I looked hard at but the closest dealer was just under 100 miles and specialized in horse trailers. They were also trying to pass off a 2014 trailer as new so that was a bit of a red flag for me.

I was able to stop by my wood pellet supplier who has several low pro tilt Cams and he was extremely satisfied with them overall, his trailers are well used and looked great except for paint. These are all 8+ old and use for 15-30 k miles per and worked hard. He loads pallets on them with a fork lift and offloads at customers with a powered pallet jack.

If a Gooseneck was an option I'd likely got with 20+5 with adjustable dovetail but I just can't get the GN in my current place. Cam's seem to hold their value so I'm sure it'll be a good investment. Thanks for all your advise!

We need pics or it never happened!!:thumbsup:

Oh, btw, could I borrow your trailer this friday? I need to haul some broken concrete chunks home. . Figured I'd be thefirst one to ask.

 

[GreatWhitehunter]

Lol, it's a 10 week build time from order so mid June I'll be sure to post pics.
You can borrow the dump trailer if I can borrow the Moritz?

I have also been looking at about a 20-22ft tilt trailer. I keep being drawn back to a Kauffman but their cost is so much lower I think there must be something wrong with them. I would love the CamSuperline but cant justify the cost yet. I think you will love it. ENJOY

I considered a Kaufman (14K - equipment trailer - 18'+2' beavertail), but bought a trailer (not a tilt) by "Quality Steel & Aluminum" instead, from a dealer 150 miles from me.
My primary reason for NOT buying the Kaufman was that I could not find a local business to unload it for me. (Kaufman states that the buyer must provide unloading)
I later found an unloading source/location, and would now likely choose Kaufman, if I were looking to buy a trailer.
I know that CamSuperlines are nice trailers, but the prices are way too high in my opinion.
I bought my 14K trailer for $4400,...... a similar CamSuperline was nearly $1500 more!
I have since mounted a 9500# Superwinch.
I will use my trailer less than 8 times each year, but when you need a 20' equipment trailer, you NEED a 20' equipment trailer!
I kinda wish I had gone for a 20'+2' beavertail trailer instead, but indoor trailer storage space was also a consideration.

I have a deckover, am now looking into buying a low tilt, as loading the deckover is a pain

Can you elaborate on your statement? I placed the order for the low pro last week and still second guessing myself:duh:

Yeah, I'd be interested in that explanation as well. I never consider loading on my deckover as difficult.

My custom built 12ftdeck over is about 34" tall. It was built to haul firewood, which it does great. However, with 8ft arched ramps, loading my Kubota BX2230, was "fun" (not). The angle was too steep, that backing up the ramps, I had to wear my seatbelt just to stay in the seat. I had to load it backwards to balance the load on the trailer. Plus I would rather look forward going down the ramps for unloading. I have since purchased a Sure Track, 16ft utility trailer to haul the BX2230.
