In Reply to: OT - What type of trailer? posted by farmerboybill on March 15, 2005 at 19:23:54:
Last summer we bought a flat bed trailer and we ended up with a 16x8 it has the wheel wells and it is a five bolt wheel it has 3500 pound Dexter axels and we have yet too load it heavy enough to make it sag in the springs we put two ton of hay on it and still pulled like a champ! I work for Big O tires and i can see the direction your going in buying an eight bolt wheel the only bad thing is most use a GM hub and they are still useing the bolt pattern of the older 3/4 ton GM models. The only thing i hate about the deck overs, is your load is higher, and your center of gravity is just that much higher. Not to mention if you go threw the tractor photos you can find a couple of tractors have slid off the ramps on the deck overs thats why we went with the other kind of trailer. They are much more affordable. One good thing about tandam axel trailers you center most of your load over the axles and you have a trailer brake the only thing you need to worry about is power! Hope this helps the trailer we bought was a Big Tex which was named the trailer manufature of the year! So far we really like are"s its heavy duty and affordable. Once again hope it this helps. - Tyler
