Happy New Years Bill,
The prices seem to range betweem $4500 to $6000. The cost isn't that important. I'm asking what is best, what should I look for? Why is a single cylinder better than a dual cylinder? Some single cylinders look scary others have a dump truck design. Shouldn't size matter, the size of the piston? Some have told me that if they load their trailers with too much weight to the front, they can't dump them.

My current utility trailer weighs about 2000lb. Some dumps weigh up to 4000 lb empty. I need to keep the weight of the trailer in mind.

I did find a 16 ft 14K, 2 cylinder dump around Elkart for $6000. Just wondering if I could use it to transport my tractors too. It is 83 inches wide while my old trailer is only 75 inches. Not a lot of room left when I transport a tractor with a 6 ft mower. Wonder how slick the metal would be with a layer of snow or rain on it?

A dump trailer has to have a slick bed. Does that mean they would not be good for transporting tractors?

Who sells corn pro trailers in or around terre haute? I don't want to drive hunderds of miles.
Thanks,
George
