In N.C.Ill. in the 1950's the Implement Dealers were about the only ones who hauled any thing on a trailer and it was usually a 10-12ft. long by 8ft.wide tilt bed made from a two ton truck rear end.It may or may not have had a winch and if it did a hand operated one was the usual norm. Not much power assist like Hydraulics etc. Farmers drove their Tractor and Machinery to where it was to be used. This was not a big problem as they mostly had 160 -320 acres in one Block of the Section and road travel wasn't done. We did not have a Trailer to haul Machinery on our 280 acre Dairy Farm but had a variety of 4 wheel wagons with one 2 wheel feed wagon and two 2 wheel Manure spreaders.I remember some of these trailers which were Factory Made were Fruhauf Trailers. Road Contractors of course had Low Boys to haul their Construction Equip. on.
