Trailer for a NH TC45DA

[RobertN]

I thought that too when I bought my trailer for the last tractor. Again, it is tooooo short for what I have now as I noted above.

that said, I found the flatbed trailer is very useful, even though I have long bed pickup. I use the flatbed frequently. I have hauled my tractor, a old tractor my Dad had, when I had my Farmall-A we made floats for Cub Scouts. Hualed lumber, pipe, firewood, concrete block, hay, canoes for Boy Scouts, fencing, cars, Bronco's, wire panels.....

I have an 8' utility trailer too. The 16' flatbed gets much more use...

If only it was that easy, For how infrequently I move my tractor, I decided I'd just call the local towing company to move it for me. They have the liability during the move and, although I hate the cash layout, it really makes more economic sense (for me, anyway) to pay as I go rather than sink a few thousand $$ into a fixed asset that sits idle most of the time. Well, I'll just put the money I've saved into some other toy!

I bought this 18 foot droped deck beaver tail rated at 10,000 lbs it weighs in at 2400 lbs. handles my tractor and mower nicely. Tires are loaded too. I have to put more tie downs on it. It came with stake pockets.

I have a 7000lb 16' trailer left over from my much smaller Kubota that I used to have.

My TC40D fits on there, but only with not with loader and scraper; I can put it on the trailer with one, but not both. And, it is pretty much at max capacity weight wise. There is very little room to try and balance the weight. I take care of my parents place 25 miles away. I had to have them bring their pickup and utility trailer to my house, and load the 6' mower in the utility trailer, then load the tractor/loader on my trailer, tow down, unload, and repeat on the way home...

Really a pain because there is no budget for a bigger trailer, and I only have to transport there once a year.
-------------------------------------------------
So now we're talking 22-24' 10k minimum trailer...

Not in my budget... Still using two trailers for that once a year trip. Where's the trailer fairy when you really need one

Put a hitch and trailer lights/brake connector on your 16' trailer, get a small trailer for the 6' mower and make one trip. :thumbsup:

Xfaxman - That looks like a really nice trailer! Is that a Cornpro?

It is a Delta: Equipment trailers from Delta Single Wheel Flatbeds

It is the perfect trailer for me, a gooseneck with a 18' deck and a 4' pop-up dove tail.


For hauling square hay bales, ramps make a back stop.


For round bales, leave the deck down and the ramps hold the last one or two in place.

I hauled 8 5x6 bales on this and 6 more on a 16' deckover hooked to the receiver hitch.

For equipment, ramps slide in to match tread width, and support the rear when driving the tractors up on the deck.


I ordered it with the receiver hitch from a local dealer in 2006. The delivery fee was $500, so I drove to the factory in Arkansas and picked it up.

Got a red one because when looking at the local dealers, on a sunny day black was too hot to touch for long, but red just felt warm. 5' Dovetails where too low at the back for my terraced hay field. It is 22' long with the 4' Dovetail. Empty weight is 5,000 pounds, 4,000 on the axles. Should have ordered the 8K axles because of the weight of the metal deck.

I hauled the Bobcat V518 across the scales with 12,640 on the deck, 14,200 on the axles, 3,440 on the ball, Just 3,640 over the 14K GVWR.

I own a NH TC48DA and can tell you from my own personal experience that my last trailer I owned was 18 feet in length and was still a little short when I hauled the tractor with the rotary cutter attached. I ended up trading the trailer in for a 22ft tilt with two 7000 lbs axles and wished I made the purchase the first time.
