What Size Trailer Do I Need for a Zero Turn Mower?
If you've recently invested in a zero-turn mower, one of the first questions that comes to mind is how to transport it safely. In most cases, an enclosed cargo or utility trailer around 6 to 7 feet wide and at least 10 feet long will accommodate most zero-turn mowers.
With over 80 stores nationwide, TrailersPlus offers a range of models perfect for transporting zero-turn mowers, and we're here to help you find the right size.
Finding the Right Trailer Size for Your Mower
The trailer size you need will depend on the overall dimensions of your zero-turn mower. Typically, zero-turn mowers range from 48 to 72 inches in deck width. For standard-sized models, a 6x10-foot model will usually provide enough space. However, if your mower is larger, you may want a 7x12-foot model to ensure a secure fit.
A 5x8 trailer may also work for smaller zero-turn mowers, especially residential models with deck widths around 42 to 48 inches. If you're considering this option, check your mower's length and width to confirm it will fit safely. While a 5x8 might accommodate a smaller mower, larger commercial models will need a more spacious option.
Keep in mind that you'll need extra room to load and unload your mower, as well as space for tie-downs or other accessories. We offer a variety of trailer sizes, so whether you're hauling a smaller residential mower or a large commercial model, you’ll find an option that can handle the job.
Choosing Between Utility and Enclosed Cargo Trailers
When selecting a trailer for your zero-turn mower, you'll need to decide whether a utility model or an enclosed cargo model is the best fit.
- Utility Trailers: Utility trailers offer easy loading and unloading, and their open design makes it simple to tie down your mower securely. They are typically more affordable and available in multiple sizes.
- Enclosed Cargo Trailers: Enclosed trailers keep your zero-turn mower safe from rain, dust, and road debris, making them perfect for long trips or storing your mower when not in use. They often come with additional customization options for your specific needs.
Both types come equipped with Dexter Spring Axles, which provide a smoother ride and reduce the wear and tear on your equipment. Whether you choose an open utility or an enclosed cargo model, we'll make sure you have a reliable option for transporting your zero-turn mower.
