Hi Ol'Chief, This past summer prices: 20ft+5ft dovetail, Dexter 20k dual tandum with oil bath, forward self adjusting brakes, spring assist ramps, torque tube, all rubber mounted lites, Bulldog GN and landing gear, $5300 new. About $160 a running foot. I probably called 15mfg in TX and they were all close on price. Very few trailers in stock and build to order about 2wk wait. Deliverly was running about $400/unit. My thoughts, buy one trailer to last you a life time that will carry anything you want, with-in reason, for a reasonable price. You don't have to load it to maximum load weight and load it to what your tow vehicle is capable of. Being it's a flatbed, you can load the trailer to pull great at 12% pin weight with GN hitching. That's with-in your F350 SRW spec's but a tad too heavy for GCW. Keep your GCW under 26k if you want long life out of your truck and under 20kGCW since your SRW as you don't have the control that the DRW gives you. Dual tandums are too much trailer for any SRW tow vehicle. You'd be wasting the capicity of 4 tires. You might consider single axle duals if your going to order a new trailer. That way you would have the side to side stability of the duals. That should drop off another $800 off the price. The trailers are running about 150lbs to 170lbs per running foot empty weight. T_Bone

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
