Hey guys... can someone give me a total length of their 4120 and 3720 fully rigged up (w/FEL & backhoe)? I'll likely be making a run to pick up one or the other shortly... I need to get my trailer thing figured out. As a side not (because I'll get a equipment trailer too), I'm curious if anyone is transporting their unit around town in a dump trailer? I have a 14'.... I've see a few here and there with the FEL hanging out the front but stuffed in their dump trailers. Thanks!

A 20ft trailer is a good fit for the 4120 tlb set up. A low deck is easier to deal with (lower center of gravity) but you can use a proper dump trailer for this. I have a 14ft dump but have not used it for hauling my 110tlb there is a poster who uses a 16ft dump to haul his around. Great white hunter IIRC.
Thanks J! I figured a 20' would be the fit... I have a 3120 that I haven't hauled in my 14' dump, but I've tested it and I could squeeze that 3120 in easily if need with a boxblade (unattached). I'm assuming that backhoe won't work... yet I've seen a few hauling them around with the loader bucket left outside the trailer.

I don't have a pic of my 4400 on the trailer but it is a 16' low deck with no beaver tail. Here is a pic of an L48 on it, no room to swing the backhoe sideways so it hangs out the back.
With the Deere, 430 loader, 48 hoe, I can hug one fender with the tractor and swing the hoe 90 degrees to the other side and chain it to the deck and still get the ramps up. Have to jump the loader bucket over the front of the trailer a little bit, but not as much as the Kubota.
I think a 14' dump would work but you will be hanging out both ends.

Theres a pic of my 4320 on a 16 + 2 trailer, with the pallet forts sticking out the front, with the bucket on the forks. I think 14ft would be darn snug with the backhoe.
If you had the FEL hanging over the front I would say it would most likely be doable. Looks like mine is sitting on 14ft of the deck with the FEL and bucket on the deck.
I believe the round bale feeder on back is around 4ft tall, total length of the trailer is 18ft.

Thanks a ton guys! I ended up grabbing a 20' PJ gravity (14k) tonight... so which ever tractor we end up with, we'll be ready to go.
Best wishes!!

That is a good choice, you will be set with that trailer.
