I am looking at 2 end dumps. One is a spread axle full frame and 39' long and one is a tri axle full frame(front axle lifts) 35' long. What would be a better set up? I understand there woul dbe some tire dragging with the spead axle, but other than that what would be a better set up?
Thanks |

Why are you going with a frame trailer? I?ve pulled 39 frameless with Spread and you learn how to use your axle dump valve when making tight turns. The spread is much easier for axleing/ maxing to gross.

A lot of the hauling I do is in and out of fields during pea and sweetcorn harvest and that is the style trailer most haulers use for that.

I vote for the 39 ft. simply because it seems more popular. But I have zero dump trailer experience just what other people have told me.

I don't know the laws in MN, but in MI you could scale more weight with the tri. Unless you plan on running more than 80,000 id go with the spread. |

Dont forget your inner bridge and overall length you gotta be atleast 51' for 80k on 5 axles and 60' for 85k on 5 axles

I'm in New England so this is a bias opinion , spread axle SUCKS ! , dont turn ,backs up stupid , tears up the forward axle components, and if your inner bridge is good , you can get 40,000 , the tri axle , tracks better ,backs up normal and your for 50,000 , that's for normal 80,000 # loads , we run 99,000 in MA,RI, on 5 axles , NH,VT ,ME require 6 , so most of our trailers are Tri Axle , if I had to run all the country , I'd have 3 axles under the trailer ,

if your only hauling 80k i would get the spread. it should be lighter and ride nicer and you can legally put 40k on the trailer instead of 34k.
