New to me dump trailer

16 footers are definitely hard to find. The only one I came across was sold. It was a Gatormade for $5000. Nice looking trailer too.

Nice find OHV
I have a 16' er x 80" wide made by Cross Country Trailers. Bought it new. 16' ers are rare. Trailer builder told me they only build 16' ers on request because they are not a popular size. Claim they sell 90 of the smaller dump trailers for every 16' they make.

Well thank you for clearing that up a little. Any information I've "gathered" from governing bodies' sites is cloudy at best.

I've very pleased with it so far, but I haven't really even used it yet.

You still need to have your truck and trailer plated for the weight and you may want to discuss your insurance coverage with your carrier. Light duty trailers with the lawn mower on are one thing, 15-16k gross trailers are another.

My local PJ dealer wanted about 8600 or 8700 for the sixteen foot version back around 2011 or 2010. I also think that you did well.

Very true. In Ohio, they don't plate trucks for weight, as far a I know. I'll have to check on the trailer plate when I go to get it next week.

I also need to get ahold of my insurance, thanks for the reminder.

Also, Just because a trailer is capable of hauling a weight doesn't mean you have to put that weight on there. OHV, great find!

That is a good point. I will see how the truck handles a 6000lb tractor in there and go from there. I live less than 1 mile from two different gravel pits as well. I've been busy this week with a shutdown at work and building a grapple that I've yet to put a load in it.
