I have a Bad Boy 1022H subcompact tractor that I will need to haul occasionally. These are the manufacturers stats on my tractor.
OVERALL LENGTH94.2"
OVERALL WIDTH44.5"
OVERALL HEIGHT86.6"
WHEELBASE53.1"
MINIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE8.3"
WEIGHT1,433 LBS.
With the bucket, the length and weight will change.
I am on a budget and want a reasonable bumper utility trailer with my Jeep Gladiator for local hauling usually under 50 miles. The Gladiator is fine for towing with the Max Tow Package. I have hauled stock trailers with no issues.
My problem is that most local dealers are in the $3600-$5000 range. My budget is $2000-$3000 (preferably on the lower end). Used trailers are often close in price to new trailers here.
1. Length 12’-16’? Does 14’ make sense?
2. Single vs tandem axle?
3. With or without brakes? Smaller utility trailers often do not have brakes.
4. Optimum GVWR for my use?
I appreciate any comments.
