Thanks for the pictures. I could use a barn like that, too.

Great pictures! That case in the other set looks kinda funny, those rear tires flat? Think I have a pic or two like that. Lol

Did you modify the hitch of the trailer yourself? I have one just like yours was originally, that came with my D2 citrus tractor. Is yours close to tail heavy like mine? The longer tongue would sure make it trail better with nothing on. They were designed as a crawler tractor trailer for the 40/420/430 crawlers. The rear two feet is to be used for loading ramp, and not useable trailer bed. Heavy built trailer for its length!

Hello DKase. The longer hitch had been added when I bought it. I have only pulled it empty and it pulled fine. I am going to haul 3500 pound tractors with it. I had to completely rebuild it new brakes, hubs, wheels, spring bushings. Had to add a set of short ramps after the spring rebuild because it will not tilt all the way without weight on the back.

Mine is the same way. I just drive up to it and push. The wheels push the tilt bed down as they try to climb onto the bed. Does yours have the 14 ply 14.5 tires also? I haul my crawlers that weigh 7000# and it works great. Good for skid loaders the 40 D and 39 DC that are on full steel. The planks on mine have been replaced with a 3 inch thick laminated bridge deck so that makes it more tail heavy yet.

Nice barn Steve! I like the light panels you installed, good idea. Don

I changed the hubs and brakes and went with 15 in. wheels. It had 14.5 when I bought and had old style obsolete brakes. Steve
