Posted by SJL on April 12, 2010 at 17:52:46 from (71.124.43.235):
I have a 6' x 16' tri-axle flatbed trailer, 12,000 pound capacity, with 8 x 14.5 tires. The front axle is apparently bent, and it eats tires. I am thinking about dropping an axle. Approximately 60% of the trailer bed length is ahead of the center axle, 40% is behind. If I drop the front axle, it will be 67%/33%; if I drop the rear axle and switch it with the front, it will be 50%/50%. The heaviest thing that I may haul with it is a John Deere 60 (approximately 7000#), and I have a weight distributing hitch. It will mostly be used for some garden tractors, and the occasional trip to the scrapyard. I know that the ideal situation would be to move the spring hangers, but I don't want to go to the time and expense. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on this? Thanks.
