Have you considered getting one without the sides? I had a 24ft built with drive over fenders and no side rails. mostly I haul a tractor on it so the side rails are not utilized, however I can load deer blinds, pallets of feed, even dirt and load and unload from the sides. I doubt I will ever have another trailer with rails.

Best heavy duty equipment trailer

I recently picked up a ranch king 20’ bumper pull with 14k axles to haul a 70 hp kubota. I am not a trailer expert, but it’s built like a tank and pulls nice. Probably Ford vs Chevy here, but I don’t think you can go wrong with most mentioned here. When I was looking a few months back, the 20’ HD’s were hard to come by. Availability may make your decision easier. Good luck.

Most 14k trailers are 3” square tubing but I agree I like pipe over angle every time

I have a 30’ gooseneck so I need a utility with sides for hauling the side by side, tractor, coolers and whatnot to the lease.

I’ll haul my Kubota M6060 on this when I don’t need my gooseneck. You are correct as it’s very hard to find many 14k bumper pulls right now. Shortage on everything

Yes sir. Mine has 5,200# axles, but you can get 7K’s on the same frame.

Originally posted by Arrowthreat View PostTop Hat is ok. Would probably be fine if you want a basic 14k bumper pull. Delco makes a 22' bumper pull with monster ramps, dove tail and removable side rails. That would be my suggestion. Top Hat is more of an economical minded trailer. They just use standard paint. Delco and the other top manufactures powder coat their trailers.
Most are Chinese or worse

I would steer clear of top hat and big tex. top hat is notorious for inconsistent work, sometimes painting the bottom, sometimes not. I can’t tell you how many big tex I have had to repair and just see absolute dog **** welds on them. Diamond c is going to be your top grade but comes with a price tag. Ive been happy with Kearney’s builds but their paint is terrible. Texas Bragg makes a good product and has great customer service in the event that you need something. Most load trails have been pretty solid. I’ve worked on just about everything except a Diamond C if that tells you anything.

Look under the trailer there will not be any paint. See the paint on the boards, hard to get paint on the metal below also...
