Lets see what you are towing!

I think to go over 13K you'd need dual tandem axles?

We have an older BigTex brand 32' dual tandem. It's very well built but overkill for 90% of the hauling we do. We use it primarily to haul hay and feed and use the 26' to haul our tractors or jeeps or SXS's.

Another thing to consider when going to dual-tandem is you have to go deckover. I prefer the "low boy" style trailer as it seems easier to load/unload stuff on.
Iron Bull does my same equipment drive over fender trailer design with the 16k gross (dual 8k axles) and also in the 21k (triple 7's). And you can pick bumper or goose. Sadly the drive overs are only rated for 4k each, but I guess a 16k machine would only place 4k per wheel at a time in the fender... so maybe that would work out okay for a tire machine. A track machine that stood up on them would destroy them.

I really love the 22' Iron Bull. I had a locally made 24' that was a complete POS... this thing is beast mode! It's such an over built trailer, I can't explain what it's like without showing.

The only thing I'm sad and mad about is that 22' is just too short for so many things. My tractor you see.... the backhoe teeth are all that are touching. I really need to sell it and get a 26', I think 4 more feet would be an overall much better trailer.

I should clarify....I know it's a beast....already have it....haha....

I took my dog out there many times - I used to work for Texas Aero. We had the contract to fuel all of American Eagle - American regional airlines - that flew into Waco Regional from DFW. Working for an FBO was the most fun I had at a job.
