I can find the new ones but I can't find any used forwarding trailer for my tractor.  I'm looking for the biggest one I can find.

Any ideas?

Thx

There are none currently listed on craigslist in Vt. Ma. or NH. Metavic has used ones from time to time. What size tractor do you have?

That will pull a good sized trailer. Not many of the big ones are found here in the US. I researched them for over 3 years before deciding on the one I bought. Where in Ct. are you?

When I was looking for a road log trailer, forwarding trailers would pop up every once in a blue moon on craigs list.

I'm from CT too, (Seymour/Oxford), ended up traveling to Virginia for my trailer.  Not many up this way.

Not all that far from you...on the MA border, a stones throw from granville.  In Hartland. I've looked at you pictures in the past and like your set up.

I got prices on the Farmi units from NE Implements...p

Thank you.

Anywhere else to get prices on new units?  Other brands?

With that size tractor you might not need the 4 wheel drive assist but you should get brakes. Do you have chains on your tractor? On the last job I was on it was so steep I needed chains on the front wheels also and used the 4 wheel drive on the trailer to keep from pushing me down the hill. Metavic in Canada and Bill Thoms in NH. sells the Nokka brand.

I dont know where you are looking at on CL but I just double checked and found nearly a dozen or so fairly close up there.

I got a chance to check out bill m's rig today. I think we talked for almost 3 hours. I can see that brakes would be a good idea.

Try Hud-son in ny there down by Utica. I know it's a long drive but they sell both on and offroad trailers for either your pickup or for your tractor that run off your hydraulics.
