Trailer for 2320

bigtiller · Apr 18, 2012

Isn't an 8 foot dump trailer is too small for a 2320? With the tractor against the front, will the rear gate close if the 3PH isn't removed? With that tight of fit, how will you tie it down?

I can't imagine doing this. I have a 16 ft. trailer for my 2320 and, even without the loader on I wouldn't be comfortable with anything less than a 12 foot trailer. As far as towing with the loader on the tongue - real good opportunity to vbend up the tow vehicle when you turn and also almost guaranteed to have too much weight on the hitch.

What your trying todo is when I look over on the highway WTF

I would suggest you get a double axel 7k landscape trailer at least 14' for a 2320 your going to need that much trailer to balance the load on the small suv it maybe rated a 7k but I would not tow more than 3500 with it also you need a brake controller I have three new trucks silverado 1500 crew and silverado 2500Hd duramax and would only pull 7000 with the 1500

Looks like we have by and large agreement so far.

Thanks for the thoughts, advice and experience. I had a sense that it would be too small for the tractor, but think overall it's the right trailer for me. As I mentioned, 5x8 is a nice size for just about everything else (besides a tractor).

So, for those couple of times a year I tow my tractor, I'll do it with the right piece of equipment: my friend's flatbed tow truck. Besides, it's a lot more fun to play with all the hydraulics on that thing than the single up/down button on the trailer!
