Not sure if this is the right place for this but wondering if anyone transports their tractor in a dump trailer, my plan is to haul my new B2650 in my 12' tandem 14K GVW dump trailer. Tractor is 13' with loader I'm told so 1 foot of bucket will need to be on the forward rail. Only implement I would need to haul between cabin and home would be the tiller and that can go in the back of my truck.

I can haul my L3700SU with loader and box blade in my 14' with the loader bucket up on the goose neck. Do not know how to post pictures or I would show them.

we have hauled and 837 Bobcat in our dump trailer. As long as you do not exceed the weight rating, also you need to make sure you can secure it in case of mishap that will be the hard part. oh and balance the load might be better backing in or pulling in

My 16' Suretrac has 5 tie down rings in it, can haul 10k lbs (3/4t Powerwagon can only pull 10,900 so maxload in the trailer is 6k). Haul my B3350 and B2400 all over with it. Even moved that JD dozer for a neighbour this spring ***128077;

I haul my bx25 in a 5x10 10k dump trailer. Its a tight fit, and not optimal but I have done it several times now. No issues.

Yes.... 14' trailer and I only have to set the bucket up on the tarp lip if I have something on the back.

I see tractors and skidsteers in dump trailers almost daily. Up here it doesent need to be secured if its got high sides. Bucket hanging over is a different story, would need securing.

You may need some traction assist for loading on. I secured cleats to my wood deck. Instead of loading going forward, I back on to get the center of gravity a little forward of the axle.

Cerlawson is right on the money, load heavy end first. And if you back it on,and exhaust points rearward,bag it. Wouldnt want to get water/snow blowing down the chimney.

I have moved my L3710 several times with my drop axle 6x12 10k dump trailer and 2500HD duramax. The trailer and tractor tow fine...no complaints.

With the tires loaded, my machine weighs in close to 6000lbs.

I did install tie downs in the bed so I can strap the machine down effectively.

If I have attachments, those do hang out the back of the trailer so I flag those.

I've also fit my Takeuchi TB125 in the trailer, also a 6000lb machine.

Just to add my comment and confirm no problem hauling my B26 in my 14' Kaufman dump. It has 4 tie downs, but bucket must rest on front at level point near SSQA. Can put grapple in front under bucket.
