Is hauling it on a 14 ft utility trailer, cutting it too close? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the weight of your sxs and add some weight for any extras on it versus the capacity of the trailer which I imagine is single axle? If you are close to max trailer weight consider loading the sxs forward so that you put more hitch weight on the pickup.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your trailer can handle the weight and you have enough weight on the tongue of the trailer, its fine. One draw back to having such a tight trailer is when you go to tie down your machine, you're basically running the straps straight down and when the straps are straight down they have more of a tendency to unhook as the trailer and machine bounce down the road, but if you had tire nets that problem is solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
