U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT

Will a L series Kubota or your 955 fit on this proposed trailer? Why not go with a car-hauler? Cheaper, more capable, usable for other things, will handle a TLB. If you take it easy, you truck will handle it. Width will not be an issue once you are used to it.

Trailers are like tractors or garages, "...once you have one, they're allways too small..."

U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT

In my experience when you have brakes on one axle of a tandem or other multi-axle trailer the axle with the brakes will "bounce" when braking pressure is applied rendering the brakes nearly useless. I have seen this happen on empty and heavily loaded trailers alike.

U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT

Before I bought my trailer, I borrowed a friend's with brakes on one axle. When the brake was applied the axle would twist slightly, causing the spring equalizer to lift that axle, then release. This would begin a harmonic "bounce" in the axle which shook the whole thing quite violently. My trailer has brakes on both axles and has never done this all the way up to locking all 4 tires.

An electric brake has a shoe mounted on the solinoid in the drum which pushes against the face of the drum, causing the main brake shoes to rotate around an accentric activating them. The varing current to the solinoid varies the amount of pressure to the secondary shoe which activate the primary brake. The wheel must rotate for the brake to operate.
