Road trailer for BX2350 w/FEL and MMM?

[dodge man]

Not a great pic but you can sort of get the idea. Its my BX with the loader on and a brush hog on the back. My trailer has a 16' deck with a 2' dovetail for a 18' total length. I'd say I only had a foot or a little less left over.

Just got back from the local Kubota dealer and they suggest a 5 x 12 single axle rated for 2200 load and 2990 gross for $1800.

I'll echo Dodgeman and say don't do it.

I started out with a 6x10 or 6x12' (can't remember which) for just the tractor. When we added the front end loader I really didn't have the room to properly balance the trailer. I would have to back on and rest the ballast box on the front rail of the trailer. I eventually upgraded to a 5k 18' (16'+2' dovetail) and finally traded that for a 10k 20' Kaufman.

The Kaufman is way overkill for the weight, but I really do like the length. I put a toolbox at the front so in terms of actual deck space its more like having a 16' of deck with 2' of dovetail. It's enough room that I can put the tractor, FEL and rotary cutter on it and have enough room to adjust for balance. I'll grant you if I just have the tractor by itself up on the trailer it does look a little tiny compared to the deck space tho.

At a minimum, you could get by with a 14-foot trailer. However, a 16-footer, is not that much more money--about $200. And a 16-footer would give you more options for carrying more stuff.

The 16' Gatormade dual axle with brakes are around $1800 here. I also say don't get a 12' single axle for the same reasons of balance on trailer and to close to max weight and I've already told you why to not get a single axle.:2cents: Course lots of people ask for advise here and accept it as long as it's what they have already decided and some time cheap is the key but your dealer recommend isn't really cheap at that price.

Definitely don't get a single axle trailer, as you have nearly zero tolerance to adjust tongue weight (it will be what it will be, whether or not it's safe or your tow vehicle can handle it). I'd get a tandem axle landscape trailer, probably 16', though 14' would be plenty long for a BX and some implements.

Still researching, but here's the link to what my dealer has

Hudson Advantage Series 6x12 (VLGBO)

Also would like links to the other trailers reccomened?

Hudson makes a good trailer, but I'd go for this one:

Hudson Advantage Series 2.5 Ton (VLGBN) Trailer

I would love to see a picture of a BX with BH on a 14ft tandem. I borrowed a 12ft single axle to get my tractor to the dealer and back but I had to remove the BH and the FEL hung over the front. I went slow and wasn't comfortable but it worked just for the short trip. I have a tight turn around and I doubt the 16ft tandem will fit. 14ft tandem will be a squeeze but I sure like the idea of being able to haul the tractor with rear implement on with a tandem and surge brakes. I had that tandem and surge for my 22ft boat and that worked great over mountain passes, etc.

I haul my B2620 FEL and BH on my 16' Gatormade utility trailer with lift assist rear gate with no problems. It sits well with great weight distribution.

Just got back from the local Kubota dealer and they suggest a 5 x 12 single axle rated for 2200 load and 2990 gross for $1800. Don't ever think will need to get more attachments as we don't get into farming/gardening(big garden). Looking mainly for around the house projects landscaping and interior house upgrades next year along with digging Mom's house out during heavy snows. Local home depot has them and will check it out

don't know your location but around here that is way high for that size and home depot is not he place to buy a trailer Check with Hammer Down Trailers in Newberry Fl. they ship all over and build a good trailer Dexter axles check them out by phone or on the web.
