I have a line on a 12' tandem trailer with brakes. It is a fair ways away, and before I drive to see it, I am wondering if it would handle my tractor with FEL (Bobcat CT2035). I have used a 14' before, and I think 12 would be tight, but I only haul the tractor a couple times a year, so doesn't have to be perfect. Anyone using a 12' trailer on a tractor this size?

Here is a picture of my Yanmar 424 on a 12' trailer. I have to take the bucket off and run the loader arms into the bucket to make it fit, so I highly doubt you could put a bigger tractor on a 12' trailer unless you overhang somewhere. A CK3510 shows the tractor itself at around 10' long, while my 424 is only 8'9".

12 foot is crazy small. I wouldn't want that for free. But I guess if your totally cash strapped and can't get anything better... you make sure with what you can get your hands on. I run a 22' Iron Bull and I don't think it's everything I want. A 24 or 26 foot deck would be better when I have a brush hog on back.

Built this at 12” but I immediately regretted not going dual and 14’

Problem with that length is load balancing. I put my bx23 on my neighbors 14' tandem. It barely fit and it was tail heavy. Wasn't a fun haul. I have a 16' tandem now. Wish it was bigger but the tractor and me are 100x safer now.

What is the trailer load rating?

I have a ck4010 put it on a tandem 16' trailer with a brush hog and hung off back. Also like the other guy said the weight was to far back and was hard to pull with the loader and bucket. Upgraded to a 25' goose neck and couldn't be happier plenty of room for tractor and attatchments. I would regret trying to put it on a 14' everytime I moved it.

Also depends on what type of vehicle you are pulling the trailer. I had a 2005 F150 4.6L V8 that I pulled a 18 ft dual axle trailer carrying a 2000 lb implement. I did it but wonder how much strain I was putting on the transmission. I moved up to a 2014 F250 6.7L diesel so I didn't have to worry about what I could pull.
The 18 ft trailer I bought new from Big Tex trailer is as short as I wanted to go. I probably should have move to a 20 ft.

Here is my ck2610 on a 12ft trailer. It was extremely tight but balancing seemed ok with loaded tires
