Trailer question for all you guys!!

[chevy.jas]

Yea would rather be safe and get a big enough trailer

[dirtydog]

didnt want to hear that cuz mine hanges over the back of the trailer a couple feet and both front tires are over the side by atleast 3" getting me scared now

careful.. ANY thing hanging over the rear or sides of the trailer by more than 4" (thats 4 inches) is considered "oversize" and requires a permit and additional lighting..
not that the cops will mess with you but there is the potential.  just sayin..

Michigan Law states that any trailer with more than 2 wheels or weighs more than 750 lbs is required to be towed at the truck speed limit of 60 mph on the highway.

Loads cannot exceed 4 feet  off the farthest back point of the trailer without a flag. Loads cannot exceed 102" wide without permit (except certain snowmobile trailers and such) . . .

Also, a Class A CDL is required for a pickup truck and trailer with a trailer weight of over 10,001 lbs or combination weight of over 26,001 lbs, if you are caught hauling anything you don't own.

Another interesting bit is we have been pulled over, inspected, and warned for having a stump grinder (that has trailer brakes) being pulled with an open-tube receiver. A solid-steel receiver hitch is required for any trailer with brakes on it. Not an issue with a gooseneck, but an issue for bumper pullers.
