Thinking about purchasing a flatbed trailer for hauling big square bales, tractors, skidloaders, what have you. I would like to be able to haul 4020 or 806 size tractors for short distances, and smaller tractors for possibly several hundered miles. I have a 2002 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 with a fifth wheel plate. Is this enough truck to handle these jobs safely? I see one trailer on the internet that has a GVW rating of 14000 lbs, and an empty weight of 4800 lbs. I take it that means I could safely load 9200 lbs. on this trailer? What options would you not want to be without- dual wheels, ect.? If I was to hire myself out to haul tractors for other people just to make a little extra cash, what sort of problems could I run into, how would I want to insure the trailer for liability if a tractor not belonging to me was damaged/involed in an accident? What does a trailer usually cost to insure?
