I didn't quite know where to post this but since my manual actually lists a trailer in the "attachments" category, then maybe that would work here too.
I have kinda been keeping my ear to the ground for a better-suited trailer for my little skidsteer. The thing only weighs about 2500 lb with a bucket and it recently "hit" me that maybe for this bitty thing I wouldn't necessarily need to have a tandem axle trailer to haul it.
If I found a heavy enough single axle trailer (i.e. 3000 lb not unheard of) would you guys think I was stupid or crazy to haul my machine with it? (my machine is a Hydra Mac 8A - or same as Gehl 2500). It would be less expensive, easier to find (I think) and in my state, these smaller trailers don't require licensing or taxes at all so it would be a bit less hassle to deal with. I kind of figure my machine is equivalent to a couple large mowers.
Maybe I'm fooling myself? Anyway, thanks for any advice. This stuff is all kind of new to me so I dont have much natural feel for it like yous fellers do.
