Hitch to deck is 4 ft. 5" frame forms tongue via mitre at front edge of the deck. The tongue is doubled inside the 5" with 8" x 3/16 channel, also mitred at the front of the deck then continues 4 ft beyond the mitre below the deck.
15 ft of deck in front of the axles centre point, 12 ft behind. Axle spread is about 3 ft.
Trailer is 8 ft + a couple of inches wide. I'll have to measure the frame, about 6 ft though, its tight to the single wheels that tuck under the rub rails. Cross members are pretty widely spaced, maybe 18-20", I assume that is why the deck is so heavy. A quick calc tells me when the hemlock deck is wet (always up here) it weighs almost 2000 lbs.
It doesn't seem to have much problem with torsion, the are a couple of extra crossmembers and frame structures for storing ramps in the middle that stiffen it up in torsion, but I haven't dared load it heavy after finding the rust.
I'm considering chopping 3 feet of the back as well, as I don't absolutely need it to be so long. I've also considered goosenecking it when I do the frame work and moving the axles rearwards instead of shortening. Not sure on that though.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
