Trailer Size for 7510

PSDStu · May 2, 2007

I'm looking to get a trailer for hauling my 7510 with loader and rotary cutter. It looks like I need a 20' trailer based on my quick measurements.

Does 20' sound like the right size?

I don't know how long your equipment measures but I would add 2 feet for future expansion and be able to move your load to get perfect balance.
I was looking for a 22 trailer, I found a 25 foot, I am in trailer heaven, this trailer is huge and I love it.

i carried my b7510 with fel and bush hog on a 16ft trailer with the bucket over the front rail. i also used a 20ft which was way overkill but had plenty of room. an 18ft would have worked for me well. just get one with ramps not a gate. that way the rear wheel on the cutter can hang off the back if needed.

A 16' trailer with ramps is plenty for your current set-up. I have a 2410 which is the same chassis and I haul it all the time on a 16' trailer. Whatever little bit might extend off a 16' trailer is insignificant. I can't imagine why you'd want to have to jockey more trailer than you need. If you get a bigger set-up, get a bigger trailer, it will probably be the least expensive part of your upgrade.

It looks like after I went and remeasured that a 18' trailer will work fine...... now to go shop around for the best deal..... almost as fun as tractor shopping!

I have a 7510 with a box blade and FEL. I tow a 20ft PJ trailer and it has 2 x 5500lb axles with electric brakes on each one.

There is plenty of room behind the tractor (2ft) and lots in front (2-3) to the point where I could take another implement with me if I needed to.

Make sure you have enough truck to pull the trailer/tractor combo too. I use an 02 F250 7.3 powerstroke with a Tekonsha Voyager brake controller. Probably overkill, but I don't worry about anything when towing. I could add another 5k lbs and would still be ok.

Thanks, I have my 97 F250 7.3 Powerstroke that I will use to pull the trailer with, don't think it will be a problem.

I have a B-2910 with loader & 5 foot rotary cutter that fits fine on an 18' trailer. See photo attached.

Stu, I didn't notice your screen name before but it makes sense now!

He's a diesel-head, I'm thinking.

Stu-Stroker, an 18' carrier will suit your needs. Two 3500 lb axles will suffice, but for a few dollars more, I'd look at the 5200 lb. (each) axles. You'll acquire a better resale feature with that to offer, if you decide to change carriers.
