Tilt Trailers - Questions

[PAexcavator]

I have a Cam tilt deck too, deck is split, IIRC tilt is 16' with a 3' section in front that is fixed. Can fit my Kubota L3010 w/loader and rake, or brush hog. Also perfect for my KH-91 excavator. If you use your trailer on construction sites w/loose dirt the dropleg ramps can be a pain. Sometimes, if you're not on a level, once you are loaded, and the trailer squats, the dropleg will hit the ground and keep you from flipping the ramp up, or you can't get them down when you go to unload. My 79yr old helper (Dad) doesn't miss the ramps at all.

Is their advantage of split deck over full tilt deck?

 

[wolfpack2]

A split deck allows you to load implements or other items on the trailer and still be able to tilt it to load/unload the tractor or equipment.

A split deck would also move the axles back farther
