Kearney trailers

[two_bit_score]

I looked at the Kearney trailers near here the other day.(They have an outlet just north of Tyler TX) They may be Ok,but seemed amateurish,sloppy welds,lightweight metal,poor paint jobs. Then that weekend,I went to the Titus County fair in Mt Pleasant,where Big Tex is manufactured. They had a whole area of displays.The Big Tex are very nice and you can tell they go the extra mile with very good welds,high tech paint,very well designed with some neat features. As both are near me,I'll bite the bullet,spend a little more and get the Big Tex.

How much was the price difference?

I have been looking at twenty foot tongue pull equipment trailers with two 7k axles and flip up ramps. Kearney is $3500. Big Tex, top hat, and a couple other brands I looked at but can't remember the name were $4300 to $4700

I was looking at 20' bumper pull, with slide out ramps and I was getting prices around 2700 from every one, give or take a hundred dollars.

I'm looking for a trailer to pull a 7500lb JD 110 so my interest is close to yours. I'm curious why you prefer a bumper pull over a GN?

Big price difference.......slide out ramps couldn't add that much? Right?

I don't have the set up for a gn, and I am open to getting one if the price is right. My dad has a one ton van, and he would need to pull the trailer every once in awhile also. I will be hauling a mahindra 4035 and brush hog.

Actually I would prefer a GN but the trailer is for hauling some equipment behind our work trucks which have a bunch of stuff mounted in the bed which prohibits the use of a GN.

Are we talking apple to apples? Is that for 7k axles? I have checked a half dozen dealers in a 5 hour radius of here and nothing below $3500. Please let me know where you are seeing these deals. I don't mind traveling to pick it up.

This was 7k axles with brakes on both. The kearney between Kaufman and Kemp, RJ trailers in seagoville, and Athens tractor and equipment. This doesn't have dovetail or fold up ramps though.
