Trailoring BX24

I have a BX24 that I need to trailor on highways about 50 miles for service and to take it to another property.  It has a cutting deck and loader, so all-in I think we are talking about 2200 lbs.  I was thing of buying a 6x12 landscape trailor with single axle.  Those trailors are rated at 3500lbs, and weigh 1000-1200 pounds or so.  Is this enough trailor or do I need to go to a double axle?

Here's an article you can use as a primer.

What's your tow vehicle?
What kind of terrain are you in (flat, hilly...)?
Most 6x12 utility trailers that I see are rated for 2990 or 3000#.  In my state, brakes and such are required for trailers over 3000#.  I'm assuming the 3500# trailer you mentioned doesn't have brakes.

I've hauled my tractor on a 3K# trailer but honestly didn't like it.  Being right on the edge of the weight limit isn't comforting.  Being overweight opens up a whole new can of worms, especially if there's any incident/accident.  If overweight and you have an accident, your insurance may not cover anything.  Also, some states will consider it a felony if someone is hurt.

I'd propose you move up to a larger trailer with brakes.  It'll tow/ride nicer, you'll feel more comfortable and won't need to worry as to whether you're over the limit.  Both the tractor and trailer are long-term investments.  I'd go with a trailer that can handle it without being near 100% capacity.

Easy tip with trailers, know the weight of your trailer, know the capacity of your axles, right off the bat, deduct your trailer weight from what your axles can carry, that will leave you roughly the remaining weight of what you can haul.  Then you have to know the weight of that item.

Don't forget to cross your chains, put a pin or lock thru your coupler to be safe, brakes are always good too.

I also have a BX24, I purchased a duel axel 16' landscape trailer.  I find the 16' is just big enough however to do it again I would get a 18' landscape trailor.  As it is now I can only fit the BX on the trailer  (with FEL and backhoe) but I would also like to be able to bring along some extra attachments such as a york rake and rototiller.

I also am looking at buying a trailer for my BX24 and am looking at a car hauler (wood deck), 18 feet long including the dovetail. Trailer gross weight is 7,000 pounds, the trailer itself is in the 1,800 pound range which leaves more than enough for the BX24 and the mower. Hope this helps.
