What would be a recomended trailor size for a CK20 FEL & BH?

I have a holmes 18'x8' dove tail 7500# trailer that does fine and never been to light for the tractor. However i would if i had to do it over agian buy a 24' 10000# trailer. The reason is that the tractor loader and backhoe on the CK 20 fills the 18 footer up and there isnt much room for other tools. You might get one more took on it. The reason i would go with 10k is that by the time you firgure the loader, tractor with water in the tires and backhoe plus the wieght of the tractor you are at about 6500-7000# you ad a couple tools and you are over easy. Now i have done it but if the Trooper stops you he isnt going to be happy with you.

=========

16 footer with two 3500 lb. axles for7000 total lbs. at a minimum. Bigger is always nicer so long as you choose to spend more and storage is not a problem.

Most everybody will tell you go bigger but i'm just saying this 16 footer works for me and I'm talking TLB. Pllenty of room to balance the rig out with 10% of weight on hitch also.

Take a look at the picture and note that I still have room for more load or adjustment especially if one turns backhoe boom to the sides. This trailer is a car hauler.

I agree you need at least an 18' trailer. For occasional hauling a 7K would be just fine. If you're going to do a lot of hauling with some extra attachments then get a 20' 10K. I don't know what you will be pulling it with but you're probably going to at the limit of a 1/2T truck. No problem for a 3/4 or larger.

I'd like an 18 foter with brakes on 4 wheels and a 1 ton SRW dump pick up to tow it with for my BX23 tractor.

So, assuming you are trying for the economical answer:

I have a 12' (platform size, not including tongue) tandem axel with sides to allow for hauling other stuff. The front bucket curls over the front rail and the BH is turned to the side for the rear ramp to close.

If I had my time back I would go with a 14' platform, however I had bought the trailer just before deciding on the tractor. Mine's a fully galvanized trailer, and I got the LED light option, so I'll have it for a while.

AS you can see from my photo to the left, I have a larger machine than yours and I have an 18 foot dove tail tilting deck over trailer that handls the tractor no problem. Mine is a tri-axle 9 ton trailer, way over kill. But I find the length to be perfect.

I do like the deck over a lot.

Good luck,
Joel

I would like an 18' deck over tilt bed.
*What do you like better about it over a between the wheels bed?
One thing about that is it sets lower than a deck over.
