Trailer for BX23

[JeffJ]

What length trailer do I need to transport a BX23 with the loader and Backhoe attached? What is the total length of the Tactor with Loader and Backhoe? I have a 6x12 landscape trailer now with 2 foot side mesh, dual axle (7000lbs). Just need to know if I need new tractor. Thanks for any help

I was able to get mine on a 14' using a shoe horn, but 16' would be better. Dual wheels are also a plus, and brakes are a absolutely needed option. If you are going to be hauling it with the mower deck attached, take your measurements and check the width between the fenders.

That trailer will haul it, I hauled mine on a single axle trailer that was about 5 x 10 with the 54 inch deck, The loader bucket was hanging over the front of the trailer a bit but wasn't in the way of turning and I had the backhoe turned all the way to one side instead of straight out the back. I did have to bungee the mower chute in the up position because it stuck out too far. If you don't want anything hanging over the ends of the trailer (loader or backhoe) then you need something longer, but you shoud be ok width wise

Here is a pic of my BX2230 with FEL and Box Blade on my 18' car hauler. It shows plenty of room. I would tink a 16' would be fine and a 14' minimum. Make sure you have brakes on any trailer used to transport this much weight.

I have a 16 ft. tandem axle 7000lbs. trailer with the mesh sides. The trailer also has trailer brakes. I have room left over when I haul the tractor with loader and tiller or box blade on.

I was think you go do it easily with a 12 foot 3000 pound trailer. Am I wrong in that assumption.

 

[Av8r3400]

Yes.

A 6x12 tandem axle will work, but it will be a tight fit. A 16' would be better. Try and see how you like the 12' trailer you have first.

I haul a BX2200 with a box blade up front (FEL over it) and the tiller on the rear on a 5 x 14 trailer. Not been a problem for me.

I use a 14' dual wheel trailer with disk brakes to trailer my BX23 to my block each weekend. Approx 50 mile, half dirt road over the mountains.
Fits nice. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
