U haul car trailer good enough?

[Beltzington]

Please excuse my ignorance but I'm picking up my first tractor this weekend and I can not find anywhere that has trailers for rent that meet the weight requirements. I'm trailering a Kubota b7500 w/302 fel approx weight 2000 lbs. Would there be any problem using a uhaul car trailer I wouldn't think there would be but I wanted to get some experienced opinions. Thanks for the help this site is great with so many knowledgable folks.

After purchase, I used a U-Haul car-hauler to tow my CUT tractor home (30-miles) which weighs twice what yours does and likely has a wider wheel base and it did not fit well at all. The whole way I was worrying about loosing control of the load, part of it was I was using an SUV that was rated for the weight but had coil springs in back which added to the mushy feeling.

U Haul will not rent the trailer to you if they know what you will be using it for, if wrecked it is likely you will be responsible for the cost of the trailer as well. I would look very hard for another solution before using a U Haul car hauler.

Good Luck.

Thanks, I'm buying the machine used about 70 miles from my home so dealer not really an option. But as long as the tractor is wider than the ramp spacing you think I will be ok?

Yes, I tried about 5 different tool rental places none of which could help me. They had either huge trailers for heavy equipment or small 10 footers. I also tried 2 trailer dealers with negative results. I guess I am going to go with u haul I have to agree with you Iowachild I don't think they would approve of a tractor but....Thanks for everyone's help I really need to get my new toy.

Why don't you just buy a trailer? You will need one anyway.
