Triple axle gooseneck vs Dual tandem
 
Hey guys been a while since I've been on looking at buying a gooseneck trailer I found a 30' triple axle for an extremely good deal. What's everyone's opinion on the two. I'll be using it mainly to move back from Montana and to haul building materials to build my shop and house and on occasions a tractor

I have a 30ft 2 axle non dually, i use it to haul scrap iron, seed corn, skid steer, john Deere 4010 w/ loader it handles it all pretty well. When I trade it I'm going to get a tandem dually or triple axle single wheel so I can haul heavier loads.

We have a customer that runs a triple axle, he can't keep tires on it.
Well the front and rear axle at least. Middle axles tires don't wear out and blow out.

I'm not to concerned about tire life I'll only use it about 10 times a year and a lot of it is dirt And gravel roads I'm picking a 25' with 5' dovetail triple axle for $2400 so its kinda hard to turn down

If tire life does not bother you than I say go for it!
It is a 53' car hauler that rides behind an 2000 f550. And it gets a lot of miles put on her.
The trailer does have some axle issues I can recall many late night making new spindals and rebuilding the axles, but I have no doubt it may be from the 6k miles a week :argh:

Ya that's understandable I'll really only be using it to build my shop and house back at home and to pull around a 50ho tractor from time to time

Just-Another-Dieselguy 10-19-2014 06:37 PM

It ahould work just fine for you. Don't gross 35k and run 6k+ miles a week though! Lol:c:

No most I'll ever haul I'd imagine would be about 18k and max distance would be 50miles
