Hello everyone,
First post but have been learning and gathering info from the forums for about a year now.
Anyways, I went ahead and reserved a JD 333g CTL to start a hobby farm in remote northern Minnesota and it will be available in about 2 months, my problem is I currently don't have a trailer that can handle the beast(12,000lb). I am not worried about pickup as I will likely pay for delivery and I don't have reason to transport it but if I can invest in a method of hauling it I could make use of it in a small business.
I have been doing my best to research trailers and most of the skid steer trailers around me seem to cap at a 14,000 gvwr which leaves far less payload capacity than desired even though I'm sure 99% of those with these machines are riding those trailers.
Maybe someone here can give me advice for what I should be looking for specifically? I know for sure it needs to be a bumper hitch trailer and probably 20 feet to have room for a spare attachment. It seems like the dove tail style would make loading easier as well. As far as payload capacity I didn't think the 14k gvwr was enough but if its what everyone else is running maybe I can settle on that?
Our current truck is a chevy 2500hd with a gas engine so it leaves much to be desired but we have ran it with a dump trailer and our JD 326e so short distances with a larger setup will likely make due and if not I will find an old dump truck.
Thanks for reading and hopefully you can provide me with good tips etc, if I left out any details let me know!
