Default Re: flat bed, open trailer

We use a 32 FT Deck to haul two stockers around Western States with Triple 4000 Dexter Axles (Tagged 9900 to keep DOT away).
I pull with a Ram 1500 Hemi Crew cab.If going out of state = I hook up leverage bars. Pulls Great! It cost about $6,500. last year from my son who builds/sells them.

To haul one we use a 7,000 GVW Diamond Plate Open Center with Electric brakes (Not Surge) with a 16 Ft. Deck and a 5 Ft. triple tongue. Trailer weighs under 1500 lbs and we never uses leverage bars even with a 1500 and my Wagon Stocker. These trailers are about a $2,900. Deal. These are really not much heavier than my Featherlite Aluminum BUT not nearly as fragile to use for me.
