I have put down a binder on a gooseneck trailer and am trying to decided on a couple of options. The first is length of the trailer. The stock trailer is a 27+5 with dual tandem wheels and axles. There is an option to make it longer or shorter. I am pulling the trailer with a Ford F-350 6.0 Diesel Truck. I want to be able to haul two tractors, a big one (John Deere 830) and a smaller one (McCormick Deering W-6). I don't want to go an inch more than I need to, but I also don't want it to be to short. Taking into consideration what I have just said, what length of trailer do you think I need? Another option is lowering the trailer a few inches, which requires "piercing" the I-Beam frame. This is a $500 option, which probably also requires some additional secondary framing costs. Lowering the trailer will give a better angle when loading the tractor. Should I pursue this option? Thanks
