Where are you in MA? I know CTTrailers.com in CT is located in Bolton CT, and they rent a dual axle tilt trailer with 7,000lb capacity (10K trailer) for $150 for 24 hours. I have a local rental place that has trailers up to 10K for $75 a day. But they specify in CT only. If you have a Taylor Rental near you (they are in MA), they rent a car trailer for $100 a day.

In the Worcester area. Thanks for the info, I'll call Taylor rentals.

It sounds like it's time to buy a trailer too unless you have no intentions of using it later.

Mine weighs about 3200 with the loader and backhoe on. Just remember that you need to go for load capacity on the trailer not axle rating. Also don't forget about weight distribution so it hauls safely. My 6' x 10' trailer might be big enough without the hoe but it can only haul about 2000#. It would ruin the little trailer.

I would ask around any trailer sales places even if you just want to rent. They probably know somebody that could hook you up.

Since you have one, is the 54.3 max width on the spec sheet right? This one has the industrial tires in case yours is different. Found a trailer that may work. 12ft bed on it but it has sides and tapers at the gate area. Can only fit 56.5" max width through the gate area. Blower has a 56" clearing width. But maybe I could lift it over with the loader if it just doesn't fit.

Check it out closely before you take it. I rented a chipper over the phone from their Brunswick ME store a couple of years ago, we are lucky that we didn't kill anybody with it. After hauling it 50 miles I realized that the entire chute was ready to fall off and was only held on by pure luck; the tires were bald, and the thing didn't chip, it shredded. Hopefully all stores aren't operated that way.
