This trailer was an old mobile home frame. 6" I beam. I'm installing (2) 5200 pd dexter axles under slung and going with 15" r 225 tires. On top of the frame I'm welding a dump bed together from scratch. the tongue to bed is 4' and the bed is 12'. I was thinking the 743 with bucket being 10 ft long would put the center of gravity at 7' 5" toward the back of the dump bed as it faces forward with a foot or so to spare front and back for tweeking . After reading more about trailering everyone suggests to back the machine on so now I'm second guessing my measurements because if I do that then its going to be way too tongue heavy ???</p></blockquote><p></p>
