18ft Trailer long enough for Oliver 88

Trailer Help

Is an 18 ft equipment trailer long enough for a Oliver 88 tractor? I know it would physically fit but would it be balanced? I can get a pretty good deal on new 18 ft but would a 20 footer be that much better?
 
I have a Super 88 WF and she fits good on my 24 ' and would be fine on an 18'. But your right about balance , it's important that I park her in the same place on the trailer , otherwise it effects my steering control. You may need to use equalizer bars to get more weight on your steering wheels.--- especially driving down the highway. Her is a pic on mine .

heres a pic of my super 88 on my 18ft trailer I haven't had much issue with balancing anything. my biggest problem is stuff fitting between the fenders.

I thought it was a deal 500 dollars cheaper than 20 ft but the price did not reflect same exact trailer, the 18ft has a cheap jack and fenders are aluminum diamond plate vs steel on 20 ft. I guess you get what you pay for. Now I am thinking I might just go for the 20 ft cause of the better features.
 
you probably live too far away for it to be financially benneficial but I just listed my 2010 Load Trail, 20', 10,000# for $3200. I bought it new and has less that 3000 miles on it. Has the optional radial tires, LED lighting , 5' spring loaded fold-up ramps, third ramp for narrow fronts , has optional 7000# drop foot jack and heavy adjustable 25/16 hitch. It's on craigs list at "central michigan craigslist in farm/gardeninc. photos. Never used in winter and tarped all the time. Health issues forced me to scale back on the hobby and won't be needing it. Can't keep what won't earn it's keep if ya git my drift. I would buy another like it in a minute as far as brand and ease of hauling and loading etc.You could put two "66",s on it if they were narrow fronts.
