I'm ordering a 6 X 16, but would a 6 X 18 be better to carry along another Pioneer or ZTR mower?

You might get two sxs on an 18', but it would be tight. I have a 7' x 18 dovetail, but sometimes wish I had bought a 20'.

I'd get something wider than 6' for sure.

My trailer is 6'8" wide and 18' long with 2 fold up ramps on the back. My wifes P1000 has 30s on it and my P5 has 35s on it. We can load one machine up to where the tires are pushing against the front rail of the trailer, then load the other machine up to where the front tires are touching the first machines rear tires. When I fold my rear ramps up they are just like 2" away from rubbing on the back of the rear machine. Everytime I load them I wish I had about a 22' trailer so I could give them a little room and also load coolers and stuff on the trailer too instead of having to dig around in the back of the truck for stuff. I can put coolers and grill underneath my P5, but it would be nice for them to have there own little space on the trailer without me having to slide it out from under the P5. I say go bigger than 18' for sure if you can.

What is the overall width of your ZTR? Also is the 6' between the fenders? I started with a 16' flatbed, now I have moved to a 20' carhauler style trailer.
With no side rails it's much easier to tie down my machines.

The general rule is to get a trailer big enough to haul whatever you have plus whatever you want to get. The Pioneer is 10' machine, so if you want to carry two, you need at least a 20' trailer.
If you can find one and afford it, AND have a safe place to store it, I'd advise looking for an aluminum trailer. I lucked into a 28' tongue-pull deckover on Craigslist when I went to buy a Talon and knew I was keeping the Pioneer and Foreman. It's nice and light so it doesn't burden the truck or kill your mileage. It is also lightweight enough to help you from getting stuck in a muddy parking lot if rain hits the park you are at.

For TWO Pioneer 1000's I would recommend at least a 7'W x 20' or 22' long trailer, that way the two machines will not have to touch and rub during transport, especially if adding ANY accessories like front bumpers and rear bed extenders.

I have used one like this for 3 years hauling 2 machines no problem, quality trailer and great prices.
