Not a dedicated landscaping/mowing trailer, but something I haul my JD415, LT155's, Iseki & Kubota B7100 FEL/BH's around on:-
This is my second attempt & maybe a little over the top, but has proved it's worth now many times for all sorts of tasks aeound the farms.
Basically it's a 11'6" x 6'3" modified 3.1 Tonne car trailer (10'2" 2.6Tonne fitted with crane) mounted with a Hiab crane/powerpack in a self loading/removable cradle so I can use the crane/powerpack independently of any trailer/truck mounting in the workshop & around the farms ( the crane was purchased reasonably, I already had the 5KVA genset & the 3KVA hyd pack to power it all up) - thought it might assist anyone looking for ideas for their trailer project "builds"
The crane/powerpack is made so it can to be easily removed & self loading to/from the trailer easily in less than c.10minutes, so after undoing a few bolts/cam locks it self unloads balanced by raising the module/cradle with the 2x hyd outriggers(which now both slide out to clear the sides of the trailer so trailer can be driven free from underneath the raised crane) & as the 3rd point of balance the lowered crane.
The crane powerpack/module is then lowered (secured by the same few bolts/cam locks) in a stand alone frame which has has 3PL tractor mounts also has a third manual outrigger for stability for independent use in the workshop or mobility around sites the farms on a tractor 3PL or stand alone use in the paddocks(it will lift c.3000lbs @ 6' to 1300lbs @ 12').
Out & about on farm sites the trailer crane /powerpack has proved extremely versatile, providing plenty of lifting capacity for yard/fencing/shed work, general repairs...etc., & the bonus availability of a genset, hydraulic power on hand......now if I can just add an air compressor, a welder & some LED lights on a telescopic pole, then maybe a hyd winch I think I might have the makings of a completely self sufficent outdoor "man cave"......if only I can get it back long enough from the mates who keep borrowing the thing.....
We usually team this up with our Landcruiser 6x6 which provides a mobile "on site" workshop capacity for most repairs/maintenance of our farm gear.
