Don't buy a flatbed trailer until you watch this! Money saving food for thought!

[@MagaRickn]

If you add some expanded metal up on the neck, you can create another hauling surface. Tires, tools, or I have even tied down a round bale up there! Nice trailer. But I'm looking for a tilt bed for my use. Hauled my tractor to shop today with one that I rented. Very impressed!

[@garycrumrine9538]

I assume that is 14,000 GVWR. Don't forget you subtract the trailer weight from that to give you the weight that you can haul. Some of that can be transferred to the truck. But generally a trailer like that is going to be around 4000 to 5000 lbs. So you should be good with 9000 lbs of carrying weight. Trust me, a metal deck is slicker than owl snot if you have wet mud on it too.

[@donbrutcher4501]

Got that right! That is why I have a wood deck. Park the trailer away from trees and in the sun to keep moss and slime from growing on the deck. I'd repaint the deck and add some sand to the paint.

[@jakleo337]

@@donbrutcher4501 Wood deck is way cooler in the hot summers of Tx. All metal can burn your hand just touching it on a 100 degree day. I like to work under my cars/trucks when on the trailer and wood is the only way. Also you can screw into the deck to secure odd size loads like machine tools.

[@shroom903]

Wait until your metal floor gets wet. In heavy haul we add wood between metal on metal contact points for added friction. The steel will give less traction than wood

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I'll fixer up ...dont you worry.....I'll make it work out...I have a pretty simple plan and demonstration video coming soon

[@reaper9294]

Definitely look into getting the deck lined with bed liner of some sort. They will spray it thicker and with more abrasive material for grip. The downfall is you need to figure out how much extra weight its going to add to the trailer if you are on the borderline for hauling weight on certain things. Great looking trailer though its going to last you a long time! just don't be complacent that the diamond plate isn't going to be slick especially with mud and frost. From my own personal experiences hahah Love the videos you do me and my fiancé have learned a lot!

[@garycrumrine9538]

Josh, question for you. Would your purchase decision change if you were purchasing a new trailer versus finding a deal on Craig's list? I've pulled deckovers, lowboys with fenders etc. For pure usability I have to say a deckover far and away is a more useful tool. Being 101 inches wide, the fact that I can get two pallets side by side is huge.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Well...Gary...let me tell ya ...this is probably trailer #1 of a couple large trailers we'll have on the farm. This will serve great as a trailer for moving vehicles, tractors and hay....but as you said....a deckover will give me more room...eventually we'll most likely seek out a deckover...but for now I needed something to handle lower vehicles a bit easier

[@shannonlomax432]

Great deal but Josh don't fool yourself that steel floor will be really slick also I had one just like it. I did love that trailer. Also just food for thought put 14 ply tires on it, you can get Chinese tires that will hold up fine and aren't very pricey.

[@kennethlaw5216]

I got news for you Josh, the metal deck is worse then wood for being slick when wet. we have a wood deck over trailer that has a 3 ft. Beaver tail, the worse part of loading that trailer has always been getting past the metal onto the wood. if you think I don't know , we loaded that trailer every weekend all summer long for years tractor pulling.. my trailer was all wood and loaded better then my dad's metal trailer.

[@tycanavan3705]

That is a nice trailer, looks very sturdy, I have been driving trailers for 30 years and Diamond tread decks are much more slick than wood when wet or icy, the best way to help is repaint deck and add sand to create traction or you can spray with a bed-liner coating like Rino Lining or line-X spray-on. There was a comment about adding weld on angle iron to the deck which is also great for front to back traction but doesn't do as well side to side when icy. Good Luck and Enjoy, you got a Steal !!!

[@jarednot]

Also everytime you haul that tractor check the air pressure on the trailer tires.

[@holydaman6952]

i don't know if anyone has brought this up but, watch your weight distribution. when you are pulling your tractor up onto the trailer leave a level on the bed of the truck.. when the bed of the truck starts to squat stop pulling the tractor forward.. back up the tractor to keep the bed of the truck level.. you don't want to pull that trailer with the truck sitting at a big angle, you will get the death wobble at highway speeds.. be safe and i hope you enjoy your new trailer

Looks in great shape, I'm not a fan of metal decking personally, it's too slippery for my tastes. Wood is only slippery if it has a coating of mold on top. I painted a strip down mine where the tires go with truck bed paint, grippy in all weather. Plus you can screw blocks to the wood decks for different hauling needs. If that were my trailer, I'd paint the entire top surface with truck bed paint or have it done. If you thought that wood trailer was slippery you're in for a bigger surprise.

[@rickfletcher5053]

[@bobcat1]

Wet metal bed is slicker that a wet wood trailer. I like the bed between fenders. I sold my gooseneck deckover because I felt I was going to die when driving my tractor with bush hog up the dovetail. Also the deckover has a high center of gravity. Not too bad driving down the road until someone pulls out in front of you and you have to stand on the brake and you are rounding a curve. They can roll your truck like a ball.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Tha hitch is a nice setup on my current truck i had to mount the rails on the bed floor that the hitch clips in and out that works fine but the bad part is the rails actually stick up above the bed a little so it’s harder to slide heavy objects into the bed ? A nice thing about te older rails. Were they were universal so it allowed you to use any 5th wheel or Gooseneck hitch if you so inclined they did get bolted into the bed and thru the frame, that was on my Chevy 6.5 Turbo Deisel Dually BTW. I never pulled a Goose neck But she pulled a 19K 5th Wheel over the Continental Divide and thru Pennsylvania pretty. Well ironically my truck rode much nicer with the weight on the rear springs as compared to a empty bed Another minor negative on the rails were you had to notch out the plastic Bedliner if you had one ? Which i did as it was a dealer installed option on the truck when it was new but i do prefer the system that you showed in your video over the one i have because its a cleaner look IMO

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

Metal will do the same thing I love wood floor with self cleaning dove tail this helps loading and unloading but what you just got the fenders will get beat to pieces its not good for hay you will hit the fenders loading and unloading and you can't fit that many rolls of hay 13 if you jam the fenders I have 25 I haul 14 but you may not move as much as me and won't mind

[@kennethfeld6639]

Be careful in NC - DOT will probably stop you if you don't have your loader on the trailer and tied down. Pretty sure you have to have 1 strap over any implement.

Well worth $4k, I have been looking for one just like that for my tractor and new ones are around $7k. I want the low deck for tractor, 70 Chevelle and zero turn mower. Plenty of those equipment trailers out there with tongue hitch but no interest in that with a Ram 3500 dually. I previously had a GN 24' deck over with dove tail for my old tractor. No more deck over trailers for me, it worked great for hauling round bails but I hated loading my tractor or mini-excavator on that trailer at 3' off the ground. You will find that pulling the tractor up toward neck and laying loader bucket on GN will not work well on the 2500, too much tongue weight. I had a New Holland 3930 with 4-1 loader and rear wheel weights, I found that with rear tractor tires centered between the tandem axles was the best ride and easiest on the truck when I towed it with a 99 Dodge 2500. I could pull tractor a little more forward with my 05 Dodge 3500 dually but ride was still better centered on axles.

i use to buy this type of trailer from starlite trailers in claremore, ok for right around $5000. (give or take depending on options). i really like how low they are and how much lighter that trailer is than a traditional deckover with the same 14,000 lbs gvwr. we ad strips of 1/2" by 1/2" steel bar 12" apart across the rear of the dovetail for traction. the steel can be quite a bit slicker than the wood. we also upgraded to the 17.5" wheels and tires once the 16" tires wore out or blew out. the 17.5" tires last us twice as long. very good usable trailer there....we have since started buying the pj, load max, load trail version with 102" wide deck and drive over fenders...works great for us.

[@maintenancebynathan2150]

Wood deck. Power wash it then treat it with boiled linseed oil OR non-skid bed liner. Last a LONG time.. Also on a wood deck you can nail or screw stop cleats to the deck. We hauled a couple of different machines and screwed stop cleats, bevelled 2x4x7 across the bed. Machine would nest right in every time. Had fixed chains attached for perfect tie down. Helps when you load-unload 10-15 times a day.

[@christopherjilek5467]

That was a great purchase for the price. Just a thought but, you should put a winch with a wireless remote in the front to help load vehicles or broken down equipment. I did that to mine and put a battery tender on it so the battery will be ready whenever I need it. When its hooked to the truck I have a hot wire hooked to the battery to keep it charged as I go down the road. Just one more way to make the trailer multi purpose. Flatbeds are invaluable on a farm. Dont forget to repack the wheel bearings. Congrats!!

I had a near miss on a deck over gooseneck with a wet PT wood deck, loading an antique fire engine. The front wheels slid to the right as I drove up the ramps, and the right one almost slid off the trailer. I couldn't get the front to roll back and center up, so I had to chain it up and drag it back over to the left with a ratchet binder. We abandoned the trip for that day, and left the trailer in the sun for a few days to dry the deck out before trying to load again. I'm considering getting some expanded metal grating and screwing it down to the sloped portion of the deck to give better traction. I don't have the option of a drop deck, unfortunately, because the fire engine has dual rear wheels, so it won't fit between the fenders. Your new trailer looks like a good buy - good luck with it. 👍

[@calvingreene90]

Not much rain here in Texas so wet decks haven't been a problem yet. Our tractors are Fords from 55-63 so a gooseneck trailer would be too much for our needs. As a side note there are paints out there with grit incorporated in them. If needed a nice coat applied to wooden decks reduce water retention while adding good traction when loading/unloading. Since we work on our tractors ourselves we only haul when doing custom work. Besides, a wet trailer deck means the fields are too wet to work. Sure enjoyed your video though.

Can't beat those old Cummins! My Dad bought one brand new back in the early 90's; he eventually sold it to my youngest son who went on to drive it for another decade. And agree with the issue of wooden trailer floors. I used to haul show horses around, and wet board floors can cause horses to fall and get cast inside the trailer.

A good safety feature for your truck would be a headache rack in case any jack knife that might occur during emergency braking or slick payment mishaps. It's certainly a good investment for the farm.

So glad to see you moving around and hopefully feeling good! Hope you figure out this vertigo thing. I love your videos and you are a true inspiration.

Steel decks are just as slippery if not worse than wood decks when wet. Keep all decks clean by washing them off frequently. Pressure wash a wood deck at least once a year, depending on usage, to keep oil and other debris from building up and creating mold that gets VERY slippery when wet.

I thought the same thing as you but after using a metal deck trailer they are probably even more slippery

We welded ribs to the floor of ours and it fixed that problem.

I'm not a trailer price expert, but gosh $4,000 for that sounds like a really good deal.

If you have problems with the deck being too slick take some small angle iron and weld it on the trailer deck, corners up, where the tractor tires go to give extra traction
