trailiors
Just wondering what are you all using for trailiors/ dollies
We have a homebuilt 20 ft. gooseneck with a tilt deck. It does not have brakes of any king so we call it a grid road special. Whenever loading we get lots of looks and comments, because there aren't too many full size goosenecks. with full tilt decks.

Years ago i bought a 14 foot car trailer for the Mustang, this was after i took the car all apart and then decided to move west. Paid $1600 for the trailer. Several years back i needed some money and my dad said sell that damn car trailer....ya never use it anyway. Well i kept the trailer and will always keep it. They hold their value, you get all kinds of "friends" when you have a car trailer and it's there anytime i need it and i would never be able to buy another one.
14 feet is a little short but for the Mustang and the time that was all i needed.

I have a home built car trailer with two braking axles, a Trailtec Bobcat trailer and a Trailtec goose neck that someone added a non braking third axle to. On the gn trailer I will have to add brakes to the third axle or remove it as brakes are required on all axles.

I have a 12ft hitch mount flatdeck that came with the Bobcat when I bought it. I like to get a 10,000lb axle 16 or 18 ft trailer flatdeck hitch drawn for hauling the Bobcat and trucks. The 12 ft is just too short and narrow between the wheel fenders. When I get the trailer I want I will sell that flatdeck. It is a good construction trailer.

They say you can have 2 brakes one the one axle, but depends on the weight that is set for the trailer. It is better to have both axles with brakes and that is what they would prefer. A trailer with 3 axles can get by with 2 axles with brakes. Again it depends on the weight ratio setting they have set on the trailer and what you are using it for. So 2 axles with brakes they are usually ok with. a 3rd axle with brakes is a bonus and god if one system fails.

He also said you do not need any trailior brakes till the load excedes 3000 pounds.

Each province is different. Weight is a factor, under a certain weight, no brakes, some provinces, over a certain weight brakes required on one axle, two in other provinces. Highway Traffic Acts are Provincial jurisdiction.
