T_Bone; OA length of trailer is 38 1/2 ft; box (this is a cattle trailer) is 32 ft; trailer can be divided into as many as 4 compartments; don't think it's possible to distribute load so as to not track/drive right; center of hitch to middle axle is 28 ft. Lots of these tri-axles in my neck of the woods in either 28 or 32 ft (box)lengths. Flat beds are (nearly) all either single tandem or dual tandem, depending on load capacity. I would choose a tandem axle rather than tri- for a flat-bed. I've never messed up a tire, rim or bearings by turning too sharply, but that front axle has got to "scoot" and I try to be aware of curbs, etc. Suppose it's all in one's mind, but a pound of lead pulls heavier than a pound of feathers. The "sense" in pulling 9,000 # of grain (corn, wheat, soybeans,ect) is that it's much heavier than 9,000# of cotton.....Have had this discussion with numerous other farmers and never had one to disagree. Old iron falls into the 'lead' category rather than feathers.....Certainly no expert on trailers/hauling, but I do have 40 plus years experience dragging stuff around with tractors and farm trucks...... didn't mean to offer unsolicited advice, just rambling on.......

I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
