I need some advice as to which trailer works best for quality and longevity. I currently have a big tex utility tandem bumper pull with 3000# axels. I need a heavier duty one that has 5000# but similiar to the one above. Locally we have Big Tex / Little Tex / Diamond T / Kearney anyone out there own one of these or know of another that is local to east texas that they can comment on? Any help is appreciated.

I have a Big Tex 6'X14" landscaping trailer and so far it has been great.

Thanks for the link on this one, the axle's are better and the internet price is 500 cheaper than any of the others Ive seen.

I don't know about the other trailers, but I bought a car hauler with the same features as their high end trailer for the price of their low end. I got it at Shirley equipment company between Longview and Hallsville.

Have a Big Tex Tandem Dual with 7k axles and it has held up well!

You can try C and M trailers out of Ennis. Believe thats it. Just type in trailers in Ennis Texas and youll see them. You can get a 16 ft 5000 lb axle bumper pull made out of the 2 7/8 pipe which is plenty heavier than the 2 in angle iron. Last I checked it was 950.00 out the door. Hope it helps

I just got a Big Tex 12PI bumper pull, has 6K axles, 2-5/8" ball, built really stout, pulls great with a capacity load. I shopped around, got some slightly better prices on the same gross weight trailers but the Big Tex construction was a much better quality in the overall. I decided on the Big Tex because of it's build and the fact that IF I needed any warranty work they had a ton more places for repair than the other manufacturers. The trailer cost me $3100.

I pull for a manufacture that is also a dealer for Pro Trak, TrailMaster, and TopHat. They all seem to be very well built trailers and 2 of them are out of east Tx. Although Im not sure if ProTrak and TrailMaster make bumper pulls. I know TopHat does. Some of you Texans are more familiar with these companies than I am. Maybe ya'll can chime in on these trailers. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
ProTrak is in Wills Point and TrailMaster is in Cookeville. I haven't been to TopHat yet, but they tell me it's west of Dallas a little ways. Hope this helps.

Why the duals if the GVW is only 14k?

Thanks for all the advice on the trailers, this is really a great site for all kinds of info. Im going with a Big Tex, headed to Canton this weekend. Thanks again.

I bought mine at C&M in Ennis, they make them there. I got an 18' low boy, ramps, new tires, spare, (2) 6k axle for $2300. They have a web site. My trailer is 3500 lbs empty, pretty stout. Tough to beat their prices.
