HAPPYNC...
It's really nice... Only complaint I have... The skids don't raise high enough for my liking. The square tube the skids raise up into could be higher so there's better clearance. I've noticed some others that have more clearance, other than that, great trailer.
It's also very hard to find trailers with 8k lb axles so you don't have to go dual tandem wheels.

Tires are loaded putting tractor, loader, and cutter in the 12,000 lb range... This is a 20k treated trailer... I'm not over and I have almost 2k lb cushion right now.
Trailer weighs about 6,200... It's states on trailer I can put about 14,200 on trailer somehow... Not sure of their math.

How much does your tractor weigh? I'm guessing you were right at the upper reaches of the trailer's weight capacity. Do you have the rears on the tractor loaded? BobG in VA

I know everything doesn't weigh 14,000 lbs so I feel good about it.

I didn't realize you had 8K axles...I've got a 24ft GN (Delta trailer) with 14K gross....the trailer weighs 4500 lbs so I can only (safely) haul about 9500 lbs... my 6000 with FEL and rear loaded tires weighs right at 9200 or so... I've also got a 511 BackHoe..which, by the way, you should look into... great units....I pull mine with a '99 F350 with the 7.3L diesel. I like my trailer....but I love my truck. BobG in VA

Nice!

You can put that much on the trailer because some of the weight is transferred to the towing vehicle axles. Nice looking set up!
