I know it’s not a gooseneck. I know since you are specifying a gooseneck neck, a bumper pull may be out of the question. I know this is probably too far away but you may have a dealer near you. That said, I have had 2 goosenecks with ramps in the past. Both good trailers, did a good job for hauling skid steers & materials, bales and acting as a stage occasionally. They pulled great, ramps were no problem at 40, climbing on and off the deck was no problem at 40. But now that I’m older, I have a tilt bed bumper pull (they now make tilt bed goosenecks). Not having to mess with ramps is the biggest plus. Just unlatch the locks, stand on the tail to lower the bed, drive on. As you pass center of the tilt, the bed is leveled and usually tongue weight ratio is good too. Also the bed is lower so I can haul a higher payload with a lower center of gravity and I don’t have to climb on the trailer to tie down the load. The front 6 feet is handy for materials and/or extra skid steer attachments. To give you a reference, the tilt bed is long enough to load and haul an F350 crew cab with an 8 foot box. My $2.00 (inflation you know).
