Looking for a 32-35’ gooseneck for tractor hauling and other farm use. Have lots of experience with deck-over’s/flip over ramps but been looking at the lower-height car hauler style. Any input or advice on these type trailers for what we’re doing?

what capacity do you need? -
Looking for 16-20k, would probably run 17.5 tires if it’s a single wheel axle.Comment

There is a place here in Caldwell that sells several different brands of trailers. I bought a Diamond C 24 foot gooseneck late last year, customized the way I wanted it down to the color. PM me if you want the info.Comment

Texas pride trailers. In Madisonville will build you exactly what you want.Comment

I loaded a tractor on one the other day that had the tilt bed and no ramps. If I needed one, that is the way that I would go. I have a car hauler now and the dovetail is a pita as any little entrance with a slope ends up with the dovetail gouging the pavement.Comment

Those tilt beds are nice, but not in the budget right now. Our ranch road in Sonora is pretty rough but a minivan can make it so I’m pretty sure a lowboy would be fine.Originally posted by 60 Deluxe View PostComment

I have a 24 foot low bow with dove tail and it's been great. With the dove tail I can load my tractor with no ramps, just use the bucket to lift the front tires. If you go this route make sure to get drive over fenders. I have pulled 3/4 ton diesels over the fenders on mine.Comment

I’m not sure where your located. I bought mine from The Trailer Guys in Halletsville. They were the cheapest I foundComment

Diamond C makes nice trailers but be prepared to pay for that kind of quality. In the trailer world you get what you pay for..Comment

Not a fan of texas pride. I would just be careful.
I have a drive over fender style which i think you are referring to. Its a 26ft 7K axle. If i bought another one i would go 28-29 and 10K super single axles.
32-35ft just gets real long. What else are you hauling besides tractor that you need the length?
Ive got a flatbed 32ft and it rarely gets used.
My 2 most used trailers are the 26ft drive over and i have a 18ft Tem Trail tractor hauler trailer.
I would buy another tractor hauler style trailer in a heartbeat they are 96in inside with pipe rails. They are wide! and only can be registered as farm use but dang handy. I would buy a 22ft triple axle if i had to do over again in that style. But the 18ft has served me very well for the price i paid for it.

Great input, thanks! We're hauling a 5075E with a 6' mower and a disc, bucket, forks, fuel/tool skid and some materials. I mapped it all out and measured and 32' is the minimum I could come up with. The 10K super singles are what I'm wanting if its not a dual tandem, I'm buying used so Im trying to keep my options open.Originally posted by dclifton View Post
On your tractor hauler, can the sides be removed so you can side-load pallets/lumber?Comment

Ah gotcha. Yea if you got a long haul and need all of that then makes sense. Really a drive over fender triple axle is probably the best way to go for you. 10K super axles are hard to come by. Other concern i would have is everbody has parts for 7-8K axles. Not near as many 10K axle parts at random places.Originally posted by oneisnone View Post
Also with duals or triple axle you can limp her into town to get a tire fixed or spare swaped. Not as easy with singles. Being able to have both side load a car hauler/drive over fender style trailer is a great advantage. I think you would be happier with this style then a flat deck float.
No on the removable sides. Those trailers are really meant to put a tractor on and road a baler, Rakes, sprayer etc behind on the ground. Not ideal for long hauls.
I can tell you my 26ft like this gets used way more than any other trailer i have. Just due to the utility of it.Comment
