Need a Trailer Stretcher.

[Av8r3400]

The only possible problem with loading further back is unloading weight off the tongue and causing major handling issues (right Dargo? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif ).

This is the proverbial 10# of (poop) in a 2# bag. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Time for a bigger bag.

How about a picture of the piercing? The tailgate that is.

Is the truck a half ton?

 

[chucko]

why not take off the box blade and rest the loader in it?

Looks like it's time to get you a 20 footer and put a for sale sign on that one.

I have the trailer stretcher ready for you at our shop.

It will cost $1900 it will end up being 16 feet plus a 2 foot dove tail and 1 axle brake.

Idt clamp the boxblade in the loader bucket/grapple and strap it in to. going a foot backwards wouldnt hurt the handleing fron the way the pic looked. Option 2 is when I haul my backhoe on my short trailer behind the dump truck I do what the old timers did raise the bucket up 2 feet over the back of the truck and haul tail lol. its leage as long as your under 13 feet. That has another advantage it lets me dump my bucket forks into the trucks bed for transit.

Back it on until the bb touches the trailer frame, lift the bucket, fold the ramps up, drop the bucket on top of the ramps, chain it down.

Thanks for all the suggestions - plan to try some of them. I removed the tooth bar, gave me about 6" and chained the loading ramps at a slight angle back, helped with a couple of inches. Like I've heard mentioned many times, every inch counts and this is a good example. Had the trailer made to haul my AC H3 crawler, never thinking I'd have anything else to haul. Good example of Poor Long Range Planning. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

25' gooseneck, that would have been the ticket!!!

But I had my trailer first and when I bought for other uses, like hauling gear for hunting with the slide in camper on. I figured the biggest tractor I would EVER buy was a BX 23. Well I was wrong yet again.
