Alright heres the deal I have a few months to sit and think of ways to spend my hard earned money and think I would like to buy a GN flatbed to haul whatever on. The thing I don't know about are the common sizes or sizes that work best. My main intentions are to haul my truck or several 4 wheelers on when we go on trips to ride. It will also haul wood most likely in log form. I don't have much knowledge on these so if you guys with experience can give me ideas of brands sizes and things to look for. Thanks

 

From my expierences, a 24' is about as short of a GN trailer that you want. I personally like the 25+5 Trailers. Tandem axle, dual wheels, dovetail ramps.

 

18 and 24ft is the most common size for what your lookin for. Down in your neck a the woods just head over to Carbondale to Wayne Qualls Interstate Motor Sales. He'll have anything you want sittin right there on the lot and he keeps his prices low.

What unit are you with. If you've been in long my face would probably be familiar to ya.

 

PJ makes some nice trailers. Make sure that you get one with ramps, a dovetail, and it's at least 16' long, including the dovetail. Probably be a good idea to get one with a long neck so you can increase the turning radius.

 

Yeah I guess you could call it long 13 years with B 2/130 in Effingham. I work in Hillsboro for IDOC. Who are you where you from?

And for size I would like it to haul my truck with a 4wheeler on it also at the same time.

 

Jut don't go to much bigger then you think you need. The smaller the easier to get around in cramped spaces and in town. The biggest decision is if you want a Lowboy or Deckover trailer.

Lowboys are easier to load, lower to the ground means more stable on the road and you have a full flat deck to use that is only inches off the ground. On the downside you lose some width and the rails make it hard to load from the side if you ever need to.

Deckover trailers give you the wider deck, either no rails or removeable stake and platform type rails to make side loading easy. The downside is you have to have a dovetail because of the deck hight and that leaves wasted space, the high center of gravity makes the load a little more unstable on the road and the way most of these are built you are limited on tire width you can run.
