    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    I hear ya. That remains my goal, i.e., talk a prospective seller into allowing me to experiment with his 40' cotton trailer.

    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    A one time event but the fence is an immovable monument. Given this reality, i.e., a 40' trailer cannot make the turn, my next question is: What is the maximum length and width trailer that could make the turn?

    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    There are 36 foot cotton trailers out there. There also may be 40 foot long trailers that are only 8 feet wide. I was hoping to get the big 'un. There is also a back door that I don't have a legal right to use unless my neighbors would agree. Neighbors I don't get along with, unfortunately...

    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    I downloaded a free CAD program. What exactly would help? Note that while the road is only 20' and 21,' at the turn the 21' road extends out to the Eastern property line where the 20' road intersects it, i.e., an upside down L.

    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    I appreciate that I am as dumb as a fence post. :smile: I understand the details are crucial but I have not been sure what details were required to analyze the simulation. The trailer in question is $2500 and I will not buy it until I am absolutely certain I can make the turn. The trailer...

    No. Fences define the width of the road. And one correction: the width of Pear Lane going East to West is more accurately stated as being 22 feet. 4 wheels are located in the front and 4 wheels are located in the rear of the trailer. What is the radius of curvature of the inside...

    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    I uploaded an image which depicts the road, Pear Lane. I would be traveling from Monterey Road onto Pear Lane. The 90 degree turn in question is a right hand turn. Pear Lane is 20 feet wide from Monterey Road South. Pear Lane is 21 feet wide East to West. It seems obvious the only...

    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    Yes. Maybe mine is a dumb question and the obvious answer to it is no but I saw this page. That trailer is over 42 feet long but can make a 90 degree turn on a road 27 feet wide. I was hoping the narrow width of the cotton trailer would allow me to make the turn. Don't forget I have...

    Turning Radius of 40 foot Cotton Trailer

    Can I make a 90 degree turn on my 20 foot wide road pulling a 40 feet long and 10 feet wide cotton trailer? The cotton trailer has two axles in the rear and two axles in the front. I am an organic farmer and wish to employ a...
