Okay, so I'm getting my stuff together. I'm going to purchase a Hustler FasTrak SD 48". It'll do my place and some residential lawns and not be too big but big enough. I'll have a Honda 21" self propelled mower as well. Trimmers can go in my truck. I know I want a 6' wide trailer but unsure of a 10' or 12' length. The shorter the better the maneuverability is but I don't want to short change myself either. My question is, what do you guys or gals use or recommend with my level of equipment? I appreciate and welcome all your comments.

Get the 6x12 I've had both and both will work but the 6x12 gives you room for a tool box in the front if all your going for is the two mowers and room for expansion at a later time if needed. I carry a Toro Grandstand, Turfmaster and Z master 48" on my 6x12 along with two rack full of hand held stuff. The 6x12 should have a 3500lb axle.

Ric is correct on all points. If you short yourself now you will regret it latter.

Thanks gfp55 and Ric. Better to have a little extra. 6X12 it will be.
