    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    The poles are in very good shape so I am considering that after removing the 2x6 boards. Between my tractor and excavator together it should be no problem.

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    I have two 45ft class 2 treated for saltwater use poles. The saltwater treatment was only $5.00 per pole extra but not really needed. I have 90 2x6x8 pt boards on it now but they are in rough shape and need to be replaced. Why pay $750.00 for boards alone when I can lay a trailer there? I'm...

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    Just lay it on the dirt like the one that has been there for the past 12 years. No chance of erosion for sure.

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    Wow! Thanks for the entertaining story but my bridge plan is only crossing a narrow spot on a pond. Welcome to the forum.

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    Thanks for pointing out it's not an aluminum frame. I am looking for the lightest frame possible. I'm aware that aluminum trailers are prone to cracking compared to steel so thats another issue to consider. If I find a steel frame trailer in good shape at a good price I'll jump on it. Seen some...

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    I hope to find one closer and cheaper but this is what I found for example. Maneuvering it to the pond crossing will be the biggest obstacle.

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    It would only be used for occasional use by light farm tractor, sxs atv, 3/4 ton pickup, and kx057-5, so as long as it could handle about 13000 pounds it would be good. My property ingress and egress is not relying on the bridge at all.

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    The prices I've seen so far on the internet are around $5000. I think they would actually sell for 3-$4000 locally. Another thing is welds on a trailer 25 years old.

    Make a bridge with a 45ft trailer

    Where is the best place to buy an old used 45ft aluminum semi flatbed trailer? I have a pond with a bridge that needs to be upgraded or completely replaced. A semi trailer seems like an instant replacement. Plan on removing the axles/wheels after it gets to the pond location. Anyone here ever...

    RUT MFG mini disc mulcher question

    Only thing is that I have to keep a strap on my hyd thumb to keep it from creeping down. Not a big deal though so far.

    RUT MFG mini disc mulcher question

    Got it going! I knew it had to be something simple. Kubota said my setup in the cab was correct so it had to be the reversing of the hoses. Called Rut and they said their hyd pumps only run one way so reverse the hoses and no damage was done.

    RUT MFG mini disc mulcher question

    Switching the hoses did cross my mind but Rut said it was all set up for a kx 057-5. I will call Kubota first thing in the morning then call Rut. Thanks

    I have one aux hyd running down the boom then you can see where it shares with the thumb hyd hose.
