buying a rgn n staying legal

A Kauffman may do all right if you over buy. They aren't the greatest. They tend to crack.

 

5 axle work isn't paying real great right now. As far a that go 7 axle is spotty at best. You may want a step with ramps. If you get a 30" deck you can load 11' legal

 

Never worked a Kaufman RGN, so can't really say much about that particular style of trailer from them. But I have dealt with their car haulers & in my opinion, they are junk.

Personally, they strike me more as a backyard Joe building trailers in their spare time rather than as a serious trailer manufacturer.

The reason you pay more for the other manufacturer's product is because it is a more proven product, they have years of experience doing what they do. Not saying you can't break one of their trailers, but it's going to take more effort to do it.

 

I don't think Kaufman uses T1 steel

 

I thought everybody used T1 these days.

 

Nope, I'll have to check their website but I think even XL doesn't use 100% T1.

 

I got one of kaufman's fixed neck 30tons its been a good trailer and It will do what its rated for. I've owned 4 of them no frame or cross member issues some minor ramp issues
