Great info. Its funny, I was just looking at PJ's site earlier this morning and was thinking the monster ramps were the way to go. I have a 16x83 PJ 7K utility trailer with removeable sided that has been great.

I have owned many trailers over the years, and once I discovered the quality and all the great features offered by PJ, I have owned nothing but PJ for all my steel trailers going back around dozen trailers over 20 years now. I currently have 4 PJ trailers.

My 20ft dove tail pipe top PJ works fine for my 2-4 series tractors but my 4 series is pushing or slightly exceeding it's weight rating with the 4066R loader and especially if I have anything on the loader or on the back of it.
I also have to be on the money when pulling it on and off the pipe top trailer to fit the 4066R between the pipe rails, only 1-2" to spare on each side of the 4066. Another reason I was suggesting a deck over trailer to avoid having to squeeze between side rails and or fenders.

Enclosed trailers I have been really happy with H&H I have had a couple of those and still have my 16ft H&H.

First thing I did was increase the width of the rear wheels. More than fluid loading the tires, a wide track makes the tractor much more stable.

How much did swapping your wheels increase the width? wondering for trailering…. Thank you!

Have a deck over flatbed trailer. Rear wheels (16.9 x 28) are at the edge but not over. So well within 8 feet wide. I'll look for a picture of the wheels and specs from the manual.

Here's a pict of a 5200 and a 5065e Both have 16.9 x 28 r-1. The 5065 on the left has the canopy, loaded tires, and is tippy compared to the 5200 with aired tires and a wider track.

Sorry I missed your reply. Thanks for the pics. We're actually widening the front and rears on mine this week.

For anyone wondering I can add the following RE implements on the 5075E from my experience to date (which isn't much compared to a lot of you guys, but may be helpful to someone):

John Deere HX7 - I have been running this cutter for reclaiming some really nasty overgrown fields. The cutter is a beast and just eats up most anything you roll under it. The 5075E runs it through the nasty stuff with no problems at all. This cutter also will give a very nice cut and can be run in ePTO for most grasses.

John Deere 1008 - I have been using this twin blade rotary cutter for topping off pastures. It runs fine in ePTO just fine even up to 7-8 mph when it is not too thick.

Frontier BB5096 box blade - I have been using this regrading gavel drives and dirt lanes with great results. I would recommend a hydraulic top link. I would consider it a fairly heavy duty unit and it pairs well with the 5075E. I'm sure you could twist it up, but so far I've only bent one ripper on very large rock (boulder).

HLA 4200lb pallet forks with 48" tines - These get used for everything from moving pallets, logs, brush, digging out stumps, hoisting implements, etc. I have used them with 84" fork extensions to move chicken coops and some run-in sheds. I have lifted up to around 2K with them and had no issues with the rear end getting light (rear tires loaded + box blade on the rear with a few suitcase weights attached for the heaviest stuff).

John Deere HD 72" bucket - It is a nice heavy duty bucket. I would prefer an 84" materials bucket on this tractor and will probably pick one up soon.

John Deere 84" rototiller - Great size for all things requiring a rototiller on this tractor.

Steinsammler 73" Grapple - Awesome all around combo grapple for clearing brush, debris, rocks, logs, etc. I think the 73" is perfect on the 5075E. I am not sure an 84" would do much more or be worth the extra weight?

You asked what implements we run with our 50*5 machines. I have the 240 loader, 73" HD bucket, 6' root grapple, 8' snow plow, AP12-F forks with 48" tines, 7' box blade, 7' land plane, 7' tiller, 6'6" disc harrow, 6' rotary cutter, 8' snow blower, and a host of upgrades and modifications like front and rear tie-downs LED light retrofits, hydraulic top link, and front pulling ring.

How do you like the 8’ snow plow? Can you compare it to a similar size snow pusher? Looking for next year.
Thanks in advance

Don't install a crusty cutoff switch on the negative battery cable and expect it to start when you get back to the Pacific NW... The internals corrode the same as a battery cable and cause resistance... This causes all sorts of problems and if you aren't knowledgeable you will be unloading your wallet to a servicing department like mine.

The 5075E handles the 8' plow very well, but wouldn't go much wider for deep snow. I have never run a pusher. I would like to try one sometime. Haven't had much of any snow yet this season.
