Transporting a BX23S on a Uhaul car trailer

[skypros]

Does anyone know if a Kubota BX23S can be secured to a U-haul "auto transport" Car Trailer??

IE: because the BX23S is only 48" wide...... and cars are more like 72" wide.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

I think the rails would be too narrow, and too far apart for a BX.

Last time I was in U-Haul, they told another customer their computer had to approve the tow vehicle and the load, or they wouldn't rent.

Man! The issue with trailers is really a big topic... Scope out this thread and follow the related links... especially the one where he broke his 2601 in half... That was truly a come to Jesus moment.

Thank You.
I will NOT be transporting the TLB on anything that is questionable.

Locally, Uhaul has double axle 5'X10' trailers with 18" sides. Don't know if there are hard points inside for tie down or if they come with ramps, but I'd say they should be robust enough for that load. Often see folks using them on the weekends to haul soil etc

I looked into Uhaul recently. Their largest trailer has a ramp, no tire rails and can hold a 2000lb load. They need to approve the vehicle and it needs a 5000lb towing rating is what I was told. They didnt ask what was going on it. I said i was moving "A vehicle."

This was informational...I didnt go through the process so it may have been more complicated later.

I know this isn't related but I'm new to this site. How do I create a post and pose a question? I don't see anywhere to do that

See if they will locate you one of these. Worked great for me. PS: The low rating is because of the ramp, not the trailer; it's a beast.

When i bought my B8200, i used a U-haul enclosed trailer. I think it was the 10ft (might have been the 12ft) long version with double doors. I used car ramps to get the tractor in and out. There are tie down loops inside on the floor for securing the machine too.
It worked out great overall.

A U-haul car trailer will not work. Their open utility trailer might work for a BX but the tail gate opening (IIRC was only 48" wide) was not wide enough for the B8200 (54-56" wide), so i had to use the enclosed.
