I've started shopping for a gooseneck trailer. I have looked at a couple that are "in the hunt". The first one is a "Haul-Rite". I think they are made in Kentucky. The model I'm looking at is a 24', with a "self-cleaning" dovetail of 5'. It has fold-down ramps, a chain box built into the frame, single wheels (2 axle), and a single landing gear. It is rated at 14,000 lbs GVW. I can buy a "demo" (The dealer used it to move several cars. He is a used car dealer) for $3100. It would sell for $3875 new. He also has a 20,000 LBS model with dual wheels for $4800. These trailers look to be heavier built (and heavier wieght) than any I've looked at so far. Does anyone know about them? The second trailer is a "Ridgeline", made in Tennesee. The have 2 models that interest me. One is a 20' x 7-1/2' with fixed dovetail (4') Ramps, single wheels, and a single landing gear. It sells for $2950. It is rated at 14,000 LBS GVW. They also have an 18,000 model, that is 24' x 8-1/2', It has Ramps, and double landing gear. They look plenty strong, but are somewhat lighter than the HaulRite trailers. Anyone have dealings with Ridgeline? I'm going this afternoon, to look at a Corn Pro trailer. Then tomorrow to look at a Hillsburro. Just like to hear opinions. John

Have you looked at Moritz trailers. Seem to be lots of trailer for the $$$. Have not pulled one, but will definitly look at them when I do purchase (just finished my barn and outta cash). Here is a link to a web page ( not affiliated with either the link or moritz, just seemed to be most discriptive link I could find )

Good luck DuaneW

How large of tractors are you wanting to haul. I have a Loadmaster 22ft lowprofile trailer for sale. 7000lb axles. I have hauled about every thing on it except th large tractors. I am just going to a 30 ft or 32ft triple axles. $2000.00

That would do for what I'm going to haul. (Around 10,000lbs) Where are you located? If you're anywhere near southern Indiana, or Louisville Ky, I'd like to see it. Might just be what we both want. (E-mail me at jfugit@iglou.com) John

I would think if you want to load 10,000 lbs you should go with a dual tandem trailer. Remember if the MGVW is 14,000# that includes the weight of the trailer itself; you want to give yourself some leeway.
You will probably find when you look at the name-brand Cornpro, Hillsborough etc. they will be a little more expensive. But maybe you will be getting better paint job, lights, enclosed wiring etc. Compare the spacing of the crossmembers, type of decking, size and weight per foot of main chassis beams.
Please let us know how the prices/quality ran on the others and what you decided.

Anyone looking for a good gooseneck trailer... check EW trailers on E-Bay. They build the trailers (custom if you want) and sell 'em right. They have just about ANY size/weight/configuration you could want and the prices are about the best I've seen!
