What is the best gooseneck trailer Doolittle,PJ,Texline,Gator,Big Tex, ect?
Post here So we can get some real life knowledge about what holds up good.
Also I would like to know what the advantages of single wheel versus dual wheel with oil bath axles are, and if the extra tires are a nusence or a good thing.
What is the best for moving equipment,horses,cattle, what are hot shot guy's running any opinions are welcome.

 

depends what you need to haul ..
ive used a few type they all seem about the same .

we have one with flip up ramps , i like that ....

dual jacks is a must ....

single tandem are fine unless you plan to haul over 10k or so ...

I think all dually ones are oil bath ...

 

Would you cast a vote that the oil bath hubs on the tandem axles are better than a grease-able axle on the single wheel over the life of the trailer?

 

yes , of course

 

I was thinking the same thing. Also if you have a single wheel and the tire blows which they often do cause I overload everything your tire is now a balled up mess with the rim beating around back there and the other tire on that side is taking twice the load now. But with Tandems at least you have another tire on that same axle.

 

i have a dual wheeled gator. never had one problem with it but tires wearing but lots of miles towing the sled puller

 

I wondered about how your Gator was holding up. Didn't you buy that back in 2009? any issue's besides tires? would you suggest a trailer with a winch or at least a mount for one?

 

Hey Tony, I have been looking at the Gator gooseneck they should cal them thick necks , did yours have the flood lights mounted up top and the roll bar?
Sure is a bright GATOR sticker they put on the side of those.

 

mine didnt come with lights. what i like about the dual wheels is safety. we have stopped several times along the road of fellow pullers that blowed a tire. the gator has served me well. the tire wear is because of turning real sharp at all the fair pull tracks. i just wish my tires were about a foot closer too the front. i load my pull truck backwards to help from too much weight on my tow truck

 

I like the lights, steps, ramps and the powder coat paint on the Gator.
