Wondering what trailer would be best Wilson, Timpte or a Cornhusker. And if anyone might know the weight on any of these trailers. I was looking at a used Wilson and he was saying it weighed around 10,300. Didn't know how accurate that was and if the Timpte might be around the same weight.

I actually just spec’d out 48’ spread axles and Wilson and Timpte both were around 10,500 with duals, aluminum couplers and subframes. Well actually the Timpte was steel subframe because for some odd reason on their spread suspensions aluminum is heavier than their steel. These were 48x96x 78 tall trailers
