 OK,my 7000 lb car trailer is no longer adequate to haul heavy combines 400 miles or more.So here are the possibilties.I have $15-2,000 max to spend so anything new is out. 1=Bumper hitch 18-20 ft trailer with a 4 ft dove tail and ramps 2=Gooseneck 20-24 ft trailer with 4 ft dovetail and ramps- 3=Find an old cheap Jantz combine trailer if any are still around 4=Build one I know gooseneck is the way to go but they are so tall when hauling 12-13' tall combines such as a 123 IH.You hate to have to take the grain bin off-etc. Pictured above is a trailer like I want.It sold on ebay a couple of weeks ago for $1554 but was in Central Texas.It was 8' by 20' with a 4' dove tail and ramps.It had a diamond plate floor,3500 lb jack,4'5" tongue..It had 3-6000 lb axles (brakes on two) with 14.5 tires.It was nice and low to the ground.All it needed was a winch. What do all you guys haul with? Years ago my antique tractor hauling trailer was an 8x18 ft 3 axle bumper hitch that was low to the ground but its long gone.It would have been ideal for combines
