Trailering B2620 or B2X20 TLB

[BrierPatch]

I know this question has come up a couple of times. I took my B2620 to the dealer the other day to let them do the 50hr service and go over all my concerns about the tractor. It fits perfectly on my 6 1/2' x 16' tandem axel utility trailer. It has two 3,500 lb axels with brakes on it and I towed it with my 1/2 ton truck. It towed great. I was afraid of having enough tounge weight, because I was expecting the truck to squat more than it did, but it followed the truck great without swaying or wandering side to side at all. Even my light duty 4' ramp tailgate worked okay. I did throw some 4' 2x10's on it to help distrubute the weight.

By the way the dealer did not find anything wrong with the tractor, which I guess is a good thing.

Looks like the 16 ft trailer is a good length for bxx20 series with BH or other attachment. Thanks for the pics and info.

my trail is like yours but with out the railing and gate. it works great for the tractor.
here is mine before leaving the dealers



thats is great they didn't fine anything wrong with you tractor. mine is going in for it's 50hr as soon as the teeth come in for the buckit. the only thing i (the wife has)have problem with is the set wont slide up or back.

Brier,

Rigs looks great!

BH might ride a little better with bucket on the deck, even if ya gotta turn it a bit.

Just my 2d.

It is pinned up, but I was curious how most people haul them. Pinned up or let down on the deck?

Thanks for the input.

Dealer brought mine pinned up.

That is exactly how I load my BX2200 with loader and box blade on my 16' utility trailer. I don't use the 2x10s, though. My gate is made out of 2x2 angle with expanded metal and the trailer dealer said it was good for 5k#. So far no problems with the gate, but I have considered adding another piece of angle just to make me feel better.

I used to haul a JD 300 bh around with the bucket pinned up. It might have ridden a bit better with it down (lowering the center of gravity a bit), but I never felt any extra movement caused by the height.
