I use all 16' x 8' of my enclosed trailer. If I had more room I'd probably find a way to use that too. Un like a flad deck, the space beside the skid steer is not wasted, we have hand tools on one wall and shelves on the other. The 242 might be a bit heavy to get over the ramp door, I ordered mine beefed up some. They rate it at 4000 lbs, my little skidsteer is just under that (bobcat 553, 4 feet wide 950 lb ROC). After one season the ramp is in wonderful shape but it does flex some. The torflex axles seem a little weak behind my F350 pickup, but behind the C55 it pulls really nice. If I had my druthers I'd go with good old fashoned leafs, same as Bill. If you ever want to get a mini ex in it make sure you get one tall enough. I have to have all but the smallest mini ex delivered by the rental shop. I can just slide the bobcat 316 in if I boost up the front with the blade.
