Trailer size

I carry a pair of $12 on sale jack stands in my trailers tool box. Nice thing is they are usable for other things.

my 'toy getter' has stuff like that ih it.. air comp, jacks, stands, timber cribbing and choks, air up tanks.. good tool kit.. spare battery, winch.. lubes and stuff I might need roadside.. etc.. etc.

think I might have a spare wheel earing for the trialer in there too..

18 foot, 6 k axles, Tilt trailer, hands down. No ramps to Jack with. Nuff said.

My tractor lives on the trailer right now, so when I put the jack stands under the rear, I just leave an inch of clearance to allow for variation when I load it back up before backing it off. Worst case if you are starting unloaded, you check before securing anything and back the tractor off and reset the stands lower. You will learn where to set them after a try or two.

Thanks for all the good advice; I decided to "go big" and got a 20' with 7K axles. Pulled it for the first time this week and everything went well. I like the idea of the jack stands for the back I'll pick up a pair of those this week. The first time unloading the ramps flipped out because I didn't have them on level ground. I thought I could cheat but it wasn't a good idea, no problem though I caught it with the FEL and lowered it to a soft landing. Good experience with no injuries.
