tractors weigh right around 5000# . This is the limit for a normal "car

5" channel frame, heavy fold down ramps, and oversize tires (normally the
"weak link"). It has a gross weight rating of 7750 pounds.

of Structural 5 inch channel Iron, with angle iron cross members,
every 24" inches under the deck The

all the way to the forward spring mount, for greatly improved stiffness.

to the point on the deck where the dove tail starts. From there, is has
another 24" of downward slope "dove tail" which lowers the rear of
the trailer, and at 24 inches long, makes for a easy approach angle for
driving up on the deck! . The deck is constructed of top quality 2" pressure
treated lumber, screwed down with 5/16" machine threaded torx drive
deck screws.

the ramps can be removed completely.
