I always enjoy reading the posts on this site. I guess it is my turn to ask a question. I have an 18' gooseneck trailer that I haul my old tractors around with. Also a skid loader from time to time. I hauled my skid loader recently, and when I unloaded it, I noticed that two of the 2X6 decking boards were broken about 4" from the back of the trailer. I haven't looked underneath, but I am guessing this is just ahead of the underneath support. Obviously, I need to replace these boards or run the risk of a maching going through the deck. The deck is 2X6 untreated boards running length wise (front to back). The broken boards are about where you would expect, where the tractor tires or skid loader tires would run while loading. My question is, when I replace these, should I replace with 2X6 or something larger? Should I use treated vs. untreated? Any other words of wisdom? I want to do it right the first time. Thanks for any advice.
