I dont see much of a point for just starting out. I got by 4 years without one so i dont see the point of em.

depends on the mowers being used in your operation...buying that size trailer it seems that you might have the cash to go ahead and opt for the extra ramp, but you'll also want racks and tool boxes to lock equipment up. i just bought a trailer earlier this year and wish i had of gotten that option...

don't really have the cash, but thinking about(1) ztr 60" huster mini z or exmark and a 36" w/b brand ??, do u think maybe a smaller trailer 14x7 or 14x6 , thx for the info :confused:

you can never have too much room on a trailer. i would have a 16' trailer for those mower to give room to work, and haul other materials related to your business. especially if you're only buying one trailer. i have a 52" z and a 48" wb on a 16' trailer, different widths than your mowers, but fairly close in length. when you put other necessities like fuel cans, trimmers, push mower, etc... it gets small real quick. the cost of a 16 compared to a 14 is about $200-400 different. if you need more room next year expect to lose $600 by selling your trailer. so you come out on the bottom. when buying a trailer i say figure out what you need, in your case a 14 would haul your mowers comfortably(ish), and go up at least one trailer size.

I like my side ramp on my 6x14 it helps say if you needed to use your 36 on a yard you could just let your side ramp down and keep the ztr on the trailer.
