^^^ This. I trailer my BX 24 on a 16ft 7000lb dual axle w/disc brakes. I wouldn't give up an inch, a pound, or an axle.

Just out of curiosity anyone have thoughts on length for FEL with the BH77 on the 2650?
I am thinking 16' will be minimum?

How is the tractor going to be outfitted when you're going to be hauling it? Loader, loaded tires, other attachments? How far are you going to be hauling it the few times you do and what is the tow vehicle?

14' 7" if you twist the BH hard into the rubber bump stop to the side. In a 7'x14' you can not get it sideways completely, and you'll need the loader bucket out by your truck. If you jack knife at all, the loader comes through your truck bed corner
I use a 25' equipment trailer on dual 7,000 lb axles with 4 brakes. I wouldn't ever want less. I'm registered at 9,950 lbs to eliminate combination plates and all of the legal trash that goes along with pulling heavy
My B2650 is around 1,900 lbs, around 800 lbs in the tires, around 800 lbs in loader, around 800 lbs in backhoe, around 350 lbs in the Titan 60" box blade and around 450 lbs in the 72" rear grader blade. That is around 5,100 lbs not including chains and binders. Let's say 5,200 lbs. My trailer is 2,800 lbs bare, so I'm at 8,000 gross, but assume around 10% or 800 lbs transfer off of the trailer to the truck, do now at 7,200 on the trailer.
I'm doing pretty good by weight, but the 25' can get really tight, really fast. My next trailer, should I ever buy one, will be at least a 30' or 32'. Length is no harder to pull, longer backs easier, longer for more... Easier. I would always rather have more trailer than I need than needed more trailer than I have.
I hate the 7'x14' 14,000 GVW dump trailer, it needs to be 25 feet long to be useful. Can't bring additional implements with the dump, it's a one trick pony and screws me every time. Really chaps my butt. I have to call my father to get one trailer while I pull the other.... Short trailers suck horribly.
TLB with the box blade and the rear grader blade.... Things are tight.

Hi,
I just went through this in September when I needed to move a used/basically new TC24DA New Holland with NIB 914A MMM from Scranton, Pa back to Maine. I ended up using one of the 5K single 7x12 red Cary On rental trailers from Tractor Supply behind my Nissan Xterra. Last week I purchased a 2018 Misson/Cargo Pro 6.5x16 aluminum tandem landscape. The trailer is a 6k rated unit with brakes on both axles and weighs 1350 lbs. I would think it would be perfect for your tractor as well. When I made the trip to PA I looked closely at all weights and DOT regulations even though it is not a commercial vehicle or registered with commercial plates. Some states have weight regulations for passenger vehicles that require you to stop at weigh stations or subject you to routine CMV roadside weight checks like PA does. It helps to have friends in Commercial enforcement of the State Police and we studied this deal hard before I did it. The trailer I bought will reduce some of the tongue weight and allow for better positioning of the machine which weighs 3125lbs. I will not move it again w/o a tandem especially 500 miles if for no other reason than it is hard on leaf springs so I am adding a leaf and re combering the new spring assys to add 500lb of tongue weight even though I don't really need it now. The trailer with PT decking, silver mod power coat rims w/ radials and brakes on both axles was $3800.00 or so.

If you want the ability to position for proper balance and tongue weight, I'd say 18-20' minimum. I know when I hauled a B on a 16' trailer, if I had an implement on the back end, I barely had enough deck length to get balanced.

Since it's a cab tractor the BH will be pushed even further back so it'll be longer then rockcrawlers measurements.
I don't think a 14ft is going to be adaquate, 16 would be bare minimum with an 18-20 being comfortable. With the shorter trailer you might have to back on to get enough tongue weight depending on axle placement.
You have a big enough truck that you can get by with a single axle, will just be less forgiving of load placement and I would suggest a 6 or 7k axle for a little more margin.
If you're only going a few miles on secondary roads you can get by with a smaller trailer sometimes but I wouldn't want to do it for any distance.

Sorry just realized you weren't the OP so not sure if you have the cab or not.
To the OP how is your tractor going to be equipped when transporting and how long is the trip?

Ya that is definitely bigger than I was hoping to go. The dream list is to have a dumping trailer that I can use to move the 2650 with and have the ability to load and move materials, a 20' is going to be on the pricy side.
