I have a 20' for my B2650 and wish it was a 22'. I guess it all depends on what you need to bring and how often. A 24' would be perfect in all regards except length. I have a Quad cab long bed and that is already long.
What attachments do you typically haul with your B2650?

I've been hauling my B2650 with BH77 backhoe and FEL on a PJ 18' beavertail trailer, with brakes both axles. My truck is a 2006 Tacoma 4x4, 6,600# towing rated.
Tractor: 1800#
FEL w/54" bucket: 475#
BH77 with 16" bucket: 950#

Total 3225#, rounding up to 3500#.

3500# + 1800# trailer = 5300# gross. Within truck/trailer specs.

The main thing is that hauling this load handles very well for me IMG_20190710_213154312 (1).jpg .

FEL/Tiller/Rake
FEL/Box Blade/Rake/Roller
FEL/HYD Auger/Counterweight
FEL/Disc Harrow/Tiller

If you look at the front of the trailer I fabricated a mount for the grapple, so that is always on the trailer regardless of other attachments.

For those interested, Government Planet has some Pennsylvania DOT trailers for sale...

Looks like they expire on Wednesday, the 4th of Novembe, 2020...
