I was on the hunt for several months for a gooseneck to tow my farm equipment, hay and whatever else i can put on it
Decided on a 22GN Big Tex 25+5 with MEGA ramps. LOVE THIS THING!
I almost got a 20+5 single wheel trailer but having towed what i have, i definitely needed more trailer than a single wheel.
This has me wanting, and needing a 3500 Dually!
Towed my brothers 2006 F250 6" lift 37" on 22" wheels from Houston to McAllen, TX. Truck was a bit too far forward so it had me sagging 1.5"
Week later took my JD 4430 with front loader and 7' shredder to my house for some much needed TLC and repairs.
So glad I went with a 25 foot deck. Had to put the tractor almost to the edge of the front of the trailer so i could close the ramps with the shredder attached to it.
Once i rolled it back I had only about 1" of sag. Tractor and trailer total weight Approx 18k lbs.
Over all very happy how my truck has performed, I do have a vibration feel when accelerating from stop with all the weight behind me. Accelerating a bit hard to pick up speed from stop or from 20mph getting it up to highway speed. Is that normal? Only under some harder acceleration
