Oh Lord. I forget you have little toys and big boy ones....can' keep up!

Looks good. I may borrow the design....

 

It might, depending on how heavy the pin weight is. My little 2501 can only lift 1000 lbs with the bucket attached, but the 3 pt can do 1900 lbs.

 

Yeah...well sort of. I can’t throw enough money at this guy to sell me his. I was going down to OK tomorrow...but they didn’t get their shit together.

Maybe swing down there on Sunday. Who knows. Lol

 

Good thinking. I did check some local area auctions without any luck. Colorado is just ridiculous on trailer cost. When I retire in a few short years, I see a side gig opportunity. I have been talking to a few trailer dealers in TX and OK, and they say 60% of their business is from CO...and they buy 2-3 at a time and sell them up here.

I did see some used trailers in New Mexico at auctions, but they were rough. Been looking at a lot of used trailers and this is great to see how they hold up. A few trailer brands I will not even consider.

The one I want in OK checks off all my needs: 24’, 83” wide, hydraulic jacks, quality brand (I’ve owned two prior Load Trails), 8k axles. Only thing that I am missing is MAX Ramps. I really wanted those, but it's not a deal breaker. I spec'd this trailer up here in CO for almost 13K. I will just make some drive over bars integrated into the factory fenders and buy aluminum ramps. This should keep my capacity up around 11400 lbs for when I haul boulders and building equipment.

I thought I wanted a 102” wide deck until looking at weight ratings and how much the extra width adds. On my current 20’ 102” wide load trail, the difference between the 83 vs 102 is 700 lbs. on a 24’, I’m giving up almost 900 lbs of capacity.





With 8K axles, the capacity really jumps...as long as it isn't a tilt deck....like this one.

I know right? Hell my LML Duramax is 7900 lbs. Those screenshots of other trailers would almost be maxed out if I had a diesel truck on it. Now the power would take 20% of the pin weight, but the trailer isn't always hooked up the the truck either.
