It depends what weight you are carrying and the amount of tongewright your tow vehicle can take. The trailer with the wheels further back will transfer more weight to the tow vehicle.

I like the trailer with the wheels further back. Also depends on what type of truck you will be pulling with it. I agree with TOADHILL.

Like said before. I the wheels are more then 60% of the way back you will need a F-250 or equivalent for loads more than 7,000#.

LBrown59 - I totally saw something different than the other posters... Are you refering to the wheel position in relation to the deck (ie deck over vs lower deck with wheels exposed)? Or as already mentioned?

Thanks but I was refering to wheels placed under the deck VS wheels placed beside the deck.
Was wondering about the pros and cons of both.

the deck over trailers allow you to carry wider loads without it hitting the wheels.. BUT it could make it harder to load some items because of being higher deck and greater approach angle... I remember someone mentioning on a bumpy road their tractor kept slipping/sliding around on the deck..

The lower trailer offers the advantage of the sides keeping stuff from sliding off.

The deck over trailers (from the ones I have seen) appear to be much heavier built than the others.. This would give you a much greater capacity..

Good luck

1*That's what I like about them over the lower trailer.
Example I just got an 8 x 10 storage building today and could haul it home on a deck over but not the lower trailer.
2*That's what i don't like about them compared to the lower trailer.
3*Removable sides could be added to a deck over.
4*Difference in capacity wouldn't be an issue as long as there was enought capacity to haul my BX23 on either trailer with loader and Bh attached.

Actually, it would seem that way, but it isn't. The heavier built trailer will often have less carrying capacity. If you get two 14k trailers and one is heavy built, it will have a lower capacity for stuff on it. The 14k is load + trailer, so a heavier trailer = less load.

Deck over wheels is hard to load if you have a 3 point attachment. I prefer option/photo #1. Easy to load
