Title says it all. I used to move my own equipment years ago. I had a detach. It's obviously a better more versatile setup. I sold it all and have since hired my moves.
I'm considering getting another for my own convenience. I don't plan to move for others and I don't really move lots myself. I have a tag for moving the small stuff.
So here's the question. I have a potential very nice older fixed neck / rear load tri axle lowboy trailer in line. The price is right, don't need a wet kit, and fewer moving parts. My concern is loading big units from the rear, up the ramps over the tires and down into the well. And of course there are fold out board supports in the well for wide units, but first that wide unit has to go over the narrow ass end before it gets to the well. With a 950 loader, no problem. But how about others? I have D6, D7s, D8H, 988A. Obviously it can be done. It has been done for 40 years. But are the savings worth the peril.
I'm a bit gun shy. We had a D5 roll over off a trailer once.
Experienced opinions sure are welcome
Thank you
