trailers for tractors

grnspot110 · Dec 15, 2015

I built this 5' x 6' for my JD 790, using parts I had on hand:

Would have been nice to have a bit more tongue weight, but I didn't have room with what I had.

Homemade from scrounged parts. I only bought the fenders.

Yes, a good back yard with "junk" can be a source for much fun if you have a welder and tools.

My deck-over 5ton dump trailer behind my tractor is indispensable to me.

I like trailers as they avoid the law better than old trucks !

Got a couple homemade trailers.

Built as wood haulers, no suspension and truck axles. But have hauled large rocks, dirt, manure, lumber, etc. Even hauled mowers on the one that has removable sides.

The small one is 4x8 with 24" sides
The large one is 4x9 with 30" sides.

Both will handle a good load of wood.

The trailer I haul the tractor is is a bit much to do anything other than just jockey around with the tractor. Its a 25' GN that weighs 6500# empty. Dont think road gear with a load of firewood is a good idea. Besides it would take way too long to fill it with wood even if I only had 1' sides.

I have an old New Idea manure spreader converted into a wood trailer approx. 4 x 12...haul a good 2 face cord per load.
Also have a JBM 8 ton dump trailer , I think is 8x12 or something like that.
And a platform wagon 8x14 with 8 ton running gear.
For my SCUT...a 4x6 JBM 1.5 ton dump trailer.

Is the chains in the spreader still hooked up?

Dad always told me about a wood hauler that grandpa had that was a manure spreader without the paddles on the back. But the floor chains still hooked to the PTO gearbox. Made it nice to unload.
