your trailer will never be big enough. You will always wish you had an extra two feet. I would go as big as you can if you can afford it.

Always go bigger, you will need the room. You will kick yourself if you don't.

Someone told this to me the other day!!! And I've been telling it to ppl now, my trailer is just about perfect for me, if anything it could be wider! 56" mower just barely fits on a five for wide trailer, and I have to take the bagging blade off though! Which is annoying!

I picked up a single axle, 6.5 by 14. Love it, pulls nice, wanted a tandem for the extra weight capacity and brakes, but didn't need it and am happy with the single axle. Mine has the pipe top rail and does not flex like my angle iron did. Makes a big difference in that long of a single axle.

on my 6.5x12 I put a 52" ZTR and a 48" WB and still have room for a 21" push mower. I think you will be fine....if you are going to spend more money go for tandem and breaks....
