Tractor is getting new ride!

Very nice looking trailer!

I feel for you on the foot surgery. I had total joint replacement on both big toes about five years ago after the first surgery didn't work out so well.

Nice trailer! :thumbsup:

I have a Kubota bx 25 and was wondering how much Trailor I would need to tow it around and about how much it would cost. Any ideas? Thanks

You would probably be looking at a 16' 7,000 GVWR trailer.

I have not weighed it yet, but Danny at Betterbuilt said it weighed about 3K with a legal capicity of about 9K. It is rated at 12K gross to match my truck hitch rating but the Bill of Sale states 14K rated axles and frame. The Mahindra with FEL, loaded rears and heavy disc will go about 6K so I can haul it without stressing the trailer or axle/tires. My old trailer was a 16' 7K rated GN that was FULL and overloaded. I hope this is my last trailer and tractor!!

This is exactly what I want/need how much did it run you as I have requested many quotes from dealers, and none seem to want my business.

After all the add ons ( 20' + 2', spare, chainbox, spring assist on ramps, sealed wiring harness, rubrail and 14K axle upgrade) it was $4270 including tax and title. A basic trailer would be about $3500. I chose Betterbuilt for the Quality of the finished product after visiting the plant in Double Springs, AL.
I knew what I wanted and price was not so much a determing factor as was fit and finish of the unit. I looked at several trailers that were compatibile (Kaufman, Gatormade, Big Tex and too many cheap units!) and the Betterbuilt was the best in my opinion.
Also the fact that a custom unit was the standard way they build trailers and not on a assembly line, this made changing and modifying prior to being built as simple as a phone call. Remember, I ordered the unit for a 8 week delivery. Most trailers can be built in about 2 weeks normally.

Looks like a very nice unit, What tires are they running? You got just what I am looking for to haul my tractor/equipment. I would just have to get it to Michigan! CJ

It has Double King rubber. I almost bought better tires myself but decided they will have to be replaced soon enough
Betterbuilt has some dealers north of Alabama, contact them for the names
