Tilt deck

If you're going to go buy it, put your zero turn on your existing small trailer and tow it there to see if it works. If it does, tow the big trailer back with a small trailer and ZTR on top.

”tilt deck”

$7000

I mentioned in a previous post I would rather do a tilt deck, but they’re like $7000 new and they are usually a minimum of 16 feet long.

You also love spending other people’s money :laughing:
If I could find a short used tilt deck over yeah maybe, but Can’t find one. I have looked for a long time.
I can get this trailer for $1500

You have enough clearance underneath, for a lift assist spring, I would look at the spring style that uses a trailer spring mounted underneath the trailer and sticks out the back a little bit to provide spring lift assist for the ramps.

What I would like the most is a full width screen ramp with reinforcement for a heavy piece of equipment and a spring assist to lift it up.
Or a tilt trailer :laughing:

All you need is a bunch of pieces of 2x2 (or so) angle, some flat strapping and expanded metal and you can convert your existing gate to a spring assisted screen ramp :D
