randyp Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Anybody got any input on favorite brands of pintle hitch trailers in the 20 to 25 ton range? I looked at a few, Kaufman, Winston, and a few others. I plan on getting a new one, would welcome some opinions. randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eager Beaver has nice ones too.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 for a tag trailer I like Eager BeaversI liked theirs too but the pricing scared me. It could have been the dealer too but much to rich for me.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

randyp Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I just went and looked at the eager beavers. Its a good looking trailer. I may call tommorrow and check price and also see if i can change a few things. I need steel cleated ramps and dovetail. When i bought the Kaufman drop deck I have, they changed that for me. The spring assist ramps are essential also. Thanks gentlemen,,,randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I run a tri-axle 25 ton eager beaver with the power assist ramps, what a dream now that I'm getting older and wiser. I picked mine up from E-bay( actually bought it from the seller when it didn't sell) Paid $15,000 plus 2 grand to ship it from Florida to Pa. Half the price of a new one and at that time it was only 5 years old. Mine also has the longer deck which is 25' of flat plus 6' beaver tail.

David Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I always thought tags were a hand job. Always running at half the speed limit and take way too long to hook up when your working by your self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a tractor or straight truck, I would rather have a 5th wheel, or gooseneck setup.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
