Eipo you make some very valid points. You guys may have me talked into a wooden deck.

If the trailer ends up behind the truck every day, i will probably be looking for a larger truck but i have towed a few loads pretty close to the max and so far been impressed with how well the truck has done.

See i get the benefit of the ability to replace wood on the deck. But i see the disadvantage of wood being replacing wood on the deck, enviability the entire deck will need replaced, how often does this occur? Additionally how do the cross members fair with moisture held by the wood? I own a...

I guess i should have specified that i do intend to get tandem axles with brakes on both axles.

Looking to purchase my first trailer, i have a kubota BX23S I would like to haul on it. Truck towing capacity 6400 lbs. Machine weight with some fluff for safety 3000lbs. 12ft long. Trying to decide on an 16 or 18' car hauler type trailer and between wood or steel decking. Any options?

I lock mine in top and lower the deck, I figure let the stoped carry the load instead of the hydraulics. But to answer the question; yes mine drops about +-1" til it is resting on the stops.

What am i missing? I have a Grapple for brush, what other uses have you guys come up with.

I have a few, like 2 exactly projects that would be easier with a set of pallet forks. I found a set on amazon for ~$300 for SSQT frame and forks which is great other than the weight is 230lbs which seems high to me. Any one find a better option?

Looking for a aerator rental in Western PA. Must be plug style. Prefer 3-point.

Alight, I agree this is a good idea to do from the pictures but what i am reading manual only recommends engine oil, engine filter and trans filter at 50, is that correct? I just want to make sure i am not missing something.

I don't know if anyone else is interested or not but i borescoped the bottom of my ROPS and right at about the fender these blocks are inside the ROPS. I took a piece of steel tie wire and was able to bypass the block in the corner. Its not a lot of room, YMMV. I am debating pulling single...

The angle is on the "third function" on mine. Still have all the standard FEL functions but no true tilt.

Yes it is available, got it on mine for my Bx23s. Very nice setup

Thank you RWey56, looks like i have some investigating to do. I want everything to look as stock as possible and wire loom zip tied to the ROPS just isnt it for me.
