This trailer frame used to be a 28 ft travel trailer until there was a mystery LP gas explosion that blew the camper off. It was,,, a double slide so the GVW was probably 7000+ lbs. It is a 2002 frame with only 400 Miles on it meaning the tires and brakes perfect.
Unfortunatly one of the now gone camper wizards at our family campground had already started hacking on it before I got it. The bed frame now is 18 ft which is enough,but close for my 861 and bush hog.
I want to put 30 in long angle drops on the back at 15 degrees or so to support fold up ramps.
On top of the frame I want to make a 4 in channel iron frame for the bed OVER the tires so I dont"t have fenders,(more width). Using 5/4 deck wood for the floor with 2 1/2 channel for cross bracing. Before I go any farther with this thing I would really like imput from you all to tell me if the frame is strong enough?
Is 31 inches to tall to safely get the tractor on and off of?
If so, how long should the total lenght of the ramps be? Any thoughts would be nice.. Richard
