Hi Bill,

In June 05 I bought a Legend 27+5, 10k Dexter dual oil bath tandum duals, Cooper tires, 19# 12" I-beam, 3"channel on 16" centers, 6" channel side rails, 2-1/2"x 3/8" rub rail, 4x2 stake pockets, 2spring assist 20" ramps, rubber mounted lites (all of them), side turn signals, 10" GN frame, Bulldog landing gear and hitch, 6" torque tube, $6400 out the door.

I hauled back two tractors about the same weight and size your wanting to haul plus a loose cab and had extra room for another tractor but not the weight capicity. Remember that's really a 40ft long trailer. If I was only going to haul two tractors and that's it, then a 20+5 would be more than enough room.

The 6"torque tube is supposed to keep the frame from flexing at the front corners or bending the deck. I'll reserve my thoughts on that after a proven time period. The mfg stated the guys loading round hay bales state the trailer deck doesn't distort after time.

If your ever thinking about using the entire flatbed then get the 3rd loading ramp as then the 5ft dovetail is flat. You can't build the 3rd ramp as cheap as the mfg.
