Hitch to deck is 4 ft. 5" frame forms tongue via mitre at front edge of the deck. The tongue is doubled inside the 5" with 8" x 3/16 channel, also mitred at the front of the deck then continues 4 ft beyond the mitre below the deck.
15 ft of deck in front of the axles centre point, 12 ft behind. Axle spread is about 3 ft.
Trailer is 8 ft + a couple of inches wide. I'll have to measure the frame, about 6 ft though, its tight to the single wheels that tuck under the rub rails. Cross members are pretty widely spaced, maybe 18-20", I assume that is why the deck is so heavy. A quick calc tells me when the hemlock deck is wet (always up here) it weighs almost 2000 lbs.
It doesn't seem to have much problem with torsion, the are a couple of extra crossmembers and frame structures for storing ramps in the middle that stiffen it up in torsion, but I haven't dared load it heavy after finding the rust.
I'm considering chopping 3 feet of the back as well, as I don't absolutely need it to be so long. I've also considered goosenecking it when I do the frame work and moving the axles rearwards instead of shortening. Not sure on that though.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
