She might swing a tandem. Looks close. That's a very nice trailer for that money! I had a 1954 Hughs back in the mid 80's. Served me well. It was converted from vacuum brakes to air. It needed a brake adjustment every five minutes. Had 8.25x15 rubber. I made ramps a little shorter than yours, but they were hydraulic. I used an electric hydraulic pump from a snow plow lift, and Myer angle cylinders. Worked great. It was pleasure to use that trailer. The wood deck went side to side, Kind of unusual. - Tom

Depending on the pin setting a tandem tractor could work.It would be nice with a 18" or 24" pin setting.I have a transport trailer with a 48" pin setting,you cannot put any overhang on front of trailer with a 72" cab to axle.
