Okay, I've got a line on a trailer with the following info: Specs: - About 12 years old. Hasn't been registered since 01. - Had new rear axle just prior to being taken off road. - 10K equipment trailer. Was used to haul Skid-Steer. - Dual 7K axles w/ brakes. - Width is 78". - Lenght approx 18' - Flatbed bumper pull w/ dual ramps. - Comes w/ Spare. - PO will have company mechanic go through axles/brakes to ensure working. - PO will have mechanic ensure all light working via 7-way plug. Needs: - Needs 2 tires - Doesn't have battery break-away. - Deck might last 1-2 years. Pretty bad wood. Knowing the above info, is it worth $500? Also, with the 78", is this wide enough to haul my 90 K5 w/ 1-ton axles & 38's? This is what would be on it almost all the time. COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS? Thanks.
No, it is not wide enough. Atleaset my 72K5 would be hangin off both sides. I have a 83" deck and I squeeesee thru the fenders just barley. I would keep looking for a 83" deck... .02c Burt
When my fenders were stationary and 83" apart, I still had to run over them with my K10 on 38" Tires. I built removable fenders and it now fits between the tires without any trouble.
My trailer is 75" wide. I can fit a 1 ton K5 with 38" boggers or my stock K5 with 31" AT's just about the same. Either way I end up driving over the fenders. It is fine with a rig in good shape, but when the motor doesnt run or the steering box is ripped off the frame... It can be a lot of work to load/unload.
