Hi all:
I have a Case VA with loader and a Fordson Major. I'd like to do work at various locations, so I'm looking at a landscape trailer - double axle, brakes, 7000 lbs, 12 ft deck with a 3 ft beavertail. My tractors aren't longer than 12 ft, but is there more important factors about weight distribution on the trailer that I should know about? Would I drive the tractor on forward, or would I reverse it on? The reason I'm looking at this trailer is the new condition (800 miles hauling a mustang) and the price is less than 1/2 of new once tax is included.
The VA with the bucket actually is a bit longer than 12 ft, so would I lift the bucket and hang it over the tongue? Or is the trailer just too short on length? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
