Hey Everyone-
Looking for some advice on trailer ratings. I just picked up an older Ford f-350 pickup truck with utility box and am looking at backhoe about the size of a Deere 310c, 210c or Case 580. My question is, how big of a trailer would I need to haul a backhoe this size. I have no clue what these backhoes weigh, or how the whole GVWR deal works, so any help would be great.
I've seen 20 ft tandem axle trailers saying they are rated for 14,000lbs, would something like that be big enough? They look like beefy car trailers and say they have a width of 82 inches between the fenders.
Im not looking to haul down interstates or even at highway speeds, just pull from one farmsite to the next every once in a while.
thanks
