Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something. I have a 12' dump trailer and am ready to buy ck30 w/ bh and was wodering if it would fit with the loader over the front of trailer and hoe turned so tailgate would still shut- any owners of this could give minimum length requirements that would be great- thanks much.

I tried to work out the same problem with my Deere 4115 and came to a couple of conclusions.
1) It wasn't going to fit right.
2) The dump trailer was too high off the ground. Something was going to really drag going up or down the ramps.
3) The ramps were going to be very long. My pick-up is the same height off the ground and it takes 6 foot ramps to load a 4 wheeler in the bed. There is a BIG difference between a 600 pound Honda and a 5000 pound T/L/B when it comes to designing ramps for strength.
My tractor is roughly the same wheelbase/size as a CK30 but a lot lighter. It takes up every inch of a 16 foot, 7000 GVW car hauler.
By turning the backhoe to one side I might could cram it on a 14 footer..... But as I said my 4115 is a good deal lighter than a Kioti. I think you will just about max out a 16 foot, 7000 GVW flat bed in weight and length.
Dump trailers are a lot heavier than a plank bed car hauler. You may be pushing into the 10,000 GVW trailer and heavy duty truck range. ....

I'm going to make an educated guess-timation and say no.
I had a similar sized Kubota (L3400) and put it in a 14' dump a few times. With the front tires against the front wall, I couldn't have any implements on the 3pth and close the rear doors. A B/H is going to be longer still.
Best of luck. ....
