Seriously thinking of buying a gooseneck for my '04 F-350 (Ford 6.0, auto, crew, 4x4, single rear, HD towing package, hideway ball), new or used (where might there be good used ones, oil field all around with plenty abused ones..)
What I want it for is to haul some farm equipment, usually smaller stuff plows, rakes, occasionally something heavier, up to 12-14K. Larger stuff such as PT or SP old combines usually are bulky, want 100-102" wide deck, and maybe want to add a winch later on (after winning the lottery), length about 24-26 ft, thinking about torsion (spelling) bar, too. Considering tilt bed (ease of loading)over dovetail/ramps. Still undecided on dual axle single/duals, triple singles, oil bath vs. bearing,etc.
Thanks for all input! Ralph in OK.
