I have been lurking for a while after joining. Machine is on order like everyone else. I am working over my flatbed trailer and would like to know the "track" dimensions, (center to center distance of the tires that share a common axle). If anyone has them for a stock P1000-5 Deluxe I would appreciate it. If someone has seen this dimension on the forum I would also appreciate knowing where to look. Thanks!

Welcome from southern Arizona. When my 1000-5 was still in original condition, it would fit in a flatbed trailer that measured 63” wide and 9 ft. long. I used tire baskets that tied off on the side to secure the machine to stake pockets on each side. To get the weight balance right, I had to back it onto the trailer. Then I installed 10x28x14 tires with 5-2 x 14” wheels all the way around and I could still fit it on the trailer, but had to wiggle the front tires to get them to drop down past the 2” high side rails. So now I’m just barely fitting on the trailer and it’s really becoming a pita. Ended up finally buying a new trailer and set it up with Erickson tie downs, put 1” wheel spacers on the rear only to even out the track and went with 814 suspension. Loading and unloading is much faster now (about 1/3 the time) and it tows much better. Hope this helps. New trailer is a 68” x 12ft Aluma.
