Trailer recommendations for FLU419

[Nick30605]

I'm interested in purchasing a trailer for my FLU419 but I'm not 100% sure which one will fit correctly. I intend to use the trailer to haul logs for my chainsaw mill. The maximum amount of weight that I would put on the trailer would be about 10,000 pounds. I know I'll need a heavy duty double axle trailer to support that amount of weight. It will need a pintle hitch and it would be nice if it has some type of vertical supports on each corner. From what I've seen so far, the M1061 looks like a good candidate. -Any FLU419 owners out there with a trailer recommendation?

You may want to see what the towing capacities of the SEE are first. I would say by you description for needs on a trailer you a going to want to find the M1061 as you mentioned.

I don't think the FLU can haul that much anyways. The M322 trailer I am thinking is way too big. Maybe try a Bolster trailer M796 and add a deuce bed or 5 ton drop side bed to it. Trailer and tires are capable of 16k combined. Bolster is 2 tons. the cargo bed is a ton. so you still have some wiggle room on weight. Always use your backhoe to knock the logs off trailer or roll em off with the dropside bed.

Max towing capacity according to the Operator's manual is 17,000lbs. Probably plenty for what you want to do.

look at a m1061 with a laundry frame. You can reference my xm1073 ( 7 1/2 ton) build that I added a laundry frame from a m1061

The vertical supports are heavy steel. The top framework is all aluminum and unpins away quickly. Carnac had only one of the uprights he was trying to get rid off.
