1*. Why haul around the trailer space when you don't need it?
2*I don't use my truck as a daily driver any more (86 VW Diesel Jetta for that!), but I could. You really can't use a 25' long, 20K GVW flatbed as a daily driver.

********************
1*Well this is another way of looking at it.
But my way of looking at it is why manhandle 2 vehicles around hauling the tractor if you can do it with just one? Why haul around the unused truck space?
2*IF I bought a trailer I would have to buy a truck to pull it with.
This truck would not be my daily driver either (I have 4 import pick ups for that)
What I'm looking at in my case is If I can buy a truck to haul the tractor somewhere at or near the cost of buying both a trailer and a tow vehicle then why fool with the trailer?

I need to have my vehicles wear multiple hats.

And I don''t need multiple vehicles wearing the same hats.
Seems you and I are in opposite situations sorta.

5. For only about $3,200.00, I got a new triple axle flatbed trailer than can haul about 10,000 lbs. I can hook it up when it is needed.
6. For only another $3,500.00, I also got a new tandem axle dump trailer than can haul about 10,000 lbs. I can hook it up when it is needed.

What do you tow these with?
My problem is I don't have a tow vehicle either.

1*Several people who have CUT's near me do this, the local towing company has a deal with several of the area dealerships, if they can move the CUT as time allows (fill-in work) they do it for a LOT less than normal rates. The tow truck gets work when they normally wouldn't have it, and the customer gets a cheap move.

2*LBrown, maybe I'm missing something here, you have a BX23, the tractor itself weighs 1500#, even with a few extra implements included, the weight probably wouldn't be more than about 3k #.
3*Almost any V6 powered import truck will pull that and a trailer, provided you have brakes, sway-control and an equalizing hitch and drove with moderation it probably wouldn't even be a bad drive.

*******************************
1*I will check around and see if they do that around here.
My dealer is 58 miles away, but this could work for short local trips.

3*Drat all 4 of mine are 4 bangers.

1*Murf has a point about renting a hauling unit when it is needed.
2* I like my own stuff and use it when I want to and don't like to work around anyone elses schedule.
Like Murf says, you don't need a big truck to haul a BX.
If you have a tilt box on a truck that helps with regard to the loading and unloading headaches of a regular truck.

1*Yes he does
2*So do I.
3*I wasn't thinking of a big truck .
What I had in mind was something about the size of the Ford F-350 with a 14 or 16 foot roll back bed.
It would really be nice if it would dump too.

1*The trailer is only 5 x 14 with a single 3500# axle and a surge brake on the tongue.
2* I haul this around with my minivan
......................
1*Nice trailer
Where could a guy get one like it.
2*What kind of minivan do you have?
How many Cylinders does it have?

I just saw a single axle trailer with a b 7500 kubota & MMM on it.
The trailer was just wide enough for the mower and the trailer was about 3 or 4 feet longer than the tractor.
The tow Veh. was a full size chevy PU.

We have a rent it place here that has 3 Terramite Tractors they rent out.
They haul the Terramite on a trailer that is the same length as the tractor.They tow this with a flat bed or dump bed truck like the Ford F 350.
The trailer is different than most trailers. It's not a tilt bed and no loading ramps are needed.
The bed lowers clear down flat with the ground or pavement so you just drive straight onto the trailer.
Anyone have a trailer like this?
If U Haul won't rent you a trailer try an equipment rental place.

I took another look at the pictures of your trailer.
The wheels on it look just like the wheels on my 8 foot utility trailer.
What size are they?
Looks like your trailer sits pretty low to the ground so the ramps up to it would not be quite as steep.
What do you use for ramps?
Could you tell me how much the empty trailer weighs
Wonder if the manufacturer ships to Ohio.

Looks like the trailers have the vote.

Kendews, there is a difference between paying for insurance, and actually getting a claim paid.
If you are not hauling your trailer legally
=======================
Who says he's not legal?
If he is what isn't legal?

Maybe I can convince my wife to let me add a small dump truck to my menagerie.
=============================
Get a 3/4 ton pick up and have a dump bed installed in it.Or buy one that all ready has one.
That's what I'd love to have.

I hope you never have an accident with this rig.
1*Your insurance will not cover any of it, liability or collision.
=================================
1*His trailer is rated for 3500# the tractor is 2500# And
The trailer is factory built,so why wouldn't he be covered?

The wheels on my Worthington are f78/14
It also tilts so I can flip it up and drive right on without ramps.
]]]]]]]]][[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]][[[[[[[[[[[][][] ][
Mine are the same stile as yours but are 13 "
That's what I figured right after I hit post.

Trailer tires are a MUCH stiffer sidewall and have higher load ratings, the size on them starts with "ST" denoting "special trailer", they are not for passenger vehicles, those start with "P" for "passenger" or "LT" for "light truck".
Murf
================
P is the only tires I ever buy or run on my 4 pick ups.

lbrown59: I was refering to the fact that his van and trailer were over the CGVW (combined gross vehicle weight) assigned to his van.
AV8R
=================
I thought so.
Just posted for clarification.
Thanks for this reply.

If I were to get a 3/4 ton with a dump bed would I be able to fill it with dirt? Or would that be too much weight?
*********************************
I had a new 1971 Ford F 250 camper special 3/4 ton pick up that I hauled 6000 pounds on a couple of times which was a little to much but if i didn't go over 4000 to 4500 Pounds it was no problem.

Now where can i get a self propelled trailer.
