  Buying a trailer

Unless you are going to be towing it daily for a lot of miles I don't see where you need more than a 7000lb trailer. That will give you the extra that you need. I do not like the landscape ramps as stated earlier as they do produce a lot of wind drag. Brakes are a must and on both axles. The deck over has it's advatages and disadvantages for the deck height, lower is better for stability but can be a problem if to low for ground clearence.

  Buying a trailer

Jim, you reminded me of the different trailers I've used and how things work. I bought a boat and brought it home and had a fishing trip planned 3 hours away. When going over the trailer, which mind you towed home fine, I found the tires showed some dry rot. So off tire shopping I go, could not find anything but a fellow told me he would sell me the same size car tires for a good price, I did, and I have since put the right tires on it as it was all over the road just like you. Every divit, crack, or bump and off it would go swaying all over. The larger trailer, like an 18 foot deck will allow you to room to better position the load. I'd haul your JD on a 7000lb trailer as you weigh in at about 5000lbs unless your tires are loaded with out fear of overload. Mind you I do this with a 1/2 ton dodge with four wheel drive. I also use 10000gvw deck overs at 18 foot flat pulling L-48 Kubota's and often for 45 miles at a wack. Just reminds me of driving a tractor trailer with a 250 horse Cummins and a 13 speed with 70000gvw. I do hope to get the brake valve hooked up soon as it does get a bit touchy on hills.
