For you guys who haul two tractors to a pull...how long a trailer is necessary to do it easily? Sometimes I'll have the luxury of loading two NF JD A's; sometimes it will be a W6 and a JD A. I'm thinking that minimally we'll need 24' of deck with a dovetail and anything longer than that is even better. What are some of you guys using? Thanks |

| A little outdated,but we hauled 2 NFs on 16ft.trucks for years with no problems.Ms-44s and equal sizes.I hauled 3(2NFs-1St.)and sometimes 4(3NFs-1ST)on a 25+5,all 3-4 plow size.So unless you want to pull a big trailer,16-20Ft.plus tail is plenty.16-18K trailer is more then enough.I have 2 16'16K&1 18+2 16K that are nice easy pulling trailers,plus a 30+5 with 12K axles for serious hauling.The bigger it is,the more trouble in tight places. Your choice. |

|  Trailers are kinda like sheds- never big enough. My 24+5 was tight for two tractors, and real tight for one big tractor and a 4 bottom plow. I figure a 30+5 is my minimum. I have a 40' PJ with an eight foot hydraulic tail, and it's by far my favorite of the many I've owned. I'll never lift ramps again if I don't have to. |

| hauling 2 on a 20' gooseneck with a 5' beaver tail isn't a problem but stopping it is .you will need tandem dually to stop. |

| I haul 2- one is 9500, other is 5000, plus 2000 in suitcase weights, extra fuel, tools, three spares (2 trailer 1 truck), cooler, clothes etc, all with an 86 F250 regular cab, single wheel, 6.9 N.A. diesel. Weighs 31480. Its a tri-axe trailer, NOT a fan of it. Hard on tires & bad for turning. But it stops fine- just keep all 6 brakes working. A tandem dual is the only way to go in my book. |

|  Here is the trailer my Dad bought a couple of years ago. Its 28ft total length, the dove tail is about 3ft. 17.5 wheels. 102" wide Its a fleetneck brand. Its just right for thease two plus a golf cart. I like this style as it is easier to load and chain everything down verses a flat deck. |

| We use a 28' PJ Car Hauler similar to the one above. Two JD's with 11' front weight brackets. Both forward facing. Like the 102" wide, low profile. |

| We haul a nf Allis Chalmers C, nf Farmall SH, and a nf Minneapolis Moline ZA on our 24ft upper deck and the front end of the Allis hangs down onto the 4ft Beavertail. Its a very tight fit but it works for us. |

| I have a 20 plus 6, 8 1/2 ft wide, back the wide front on and swing front to one side, drive the narrow front on and past it, works good and not too long to get around with. |

| I have a 20 +4 and it is great for two narrow front tractors because both tractors are on the deck. If you want to haul two wide front tractors then longer is the answer. |

| The guys are right 25 + 5 is just right. I have a 20+5. I can haul two tractors as long as one is a NF, and the wide WF is set in all the way. They need to overlap a little. But I would buy another 20+5 again. It is big enough for me and not to heavy to pull with a single rear wheel truck. |

| Clint, I have been using a 25' with 5'dove tail trailer for years. I really like the size. I haul 2 tractors most of the time and have alot of room, I have even hauled 3 a few times. I just bought a new PJ with the same dimensions and really like it. Worth the money. |
