Question:

I have a home made trailer 100 x 72 inch with Toyota 5 leaf springs, Can I use 10 inch tyres and wheels under the trailer. As I want to keep it as low as I can and not use ramps to load a quod and ride on mower.

Expert Reply:

If you are using axles like the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs # 20440I-ST-72, you can use 10 inch wheels like the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range E # AM3H460.

When building a trailer you want to make sure that you have the capacity you need for your load compatible with the lowest/weakest component in your system.

For 10 inch wheels you are looking at 2000 lb axles, so you may want a tandem axle system for your application depending on capacity needs.

We also have axle-less trailer systems with built in suspension that would be compatible with the 10 inch wheels as well. It is # A20RS440.

There are similar options available in a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern if you prefer.
