So after reading and hearing some of your guys' advise, I've done some more research on trailer options. I think that Id really like a 25' deck and 5' dove and lay flat ramps. I really want to get the tandem duals. Richlmm is also looking to get a similar trailer so after talking with some semi-local dealers; anderson, pj, loadmax they are all about ~ $9500 - $10500 or so and that is us buying TWO trailers together!
I chatted with the Kaufman sales rep again and it seems that this trailer below is what Ive been looking for.

She said if I picked up the trailer and brought a bankers check she would take off 3%. So with adding a torque tube, lay flat ramps, spare tire and rim its about $8300. Its in NC and is about 600 miles away. Assuming it costs me $500 with fuel and tolls its about $8800. The only thing I wish the Kaufman had was a slightly lower deck. Its deck is about 36", where the loadmax we spec'd out is 32". I dont mind going for a ride to pick up a trailer at all, I just dont know if I can justify the extra money for 4" lower deck.
How far of a drive to NE Ohio? Go see trailerpro.:thumb:
Wow, how far are you from missouri area? Id call around here, i can get a 32' Titan (best of the best) they warranty their craftsman ship and paint (most dont cover paint), dexter 10k oil bath axles, peirced frame, 2 wide ramps with center pop up, tool box for around 8900. Ill probably go with this route, big tex was 1k cheaper, but you just cant go wrong with Titan.
Check this one out, price seems right.....

Dang! Now thats a haul down there lol.
Say's they deliver, question is , How much I dont know anyone running one personally or have I seen one in person but they look to be well made and a good bit cheaper then (most) comparable models...... Just one more option
the woman who sold jakebrake his trailer at kaufman was telling us how thats all the car hauler guys want is the 3 axle trailers becuase they tow so straight and have the extra gvw...the tire scrub i dont think would be horrible but i've never owned one eitherInstead of starting a new thread..........what's everyone's feelings on a triple axle gn. 3x7k axles. I'm looking for a used trailer in the 3k range. I'm seeing alot of triples that r 30+' long for good prices. I will b hauling my truck to pulls and the track and I have a 77 vega I will b hauling to the track plus a fourwheeler. I'm sure the triples r hard to turn and prob go through more tires because of them "scrubbing", is that the only downfall?

Next weekend I ended up hauling a load of hay for my parents, kinda glad I got such a big trailer and Im using for more than just pulling.
