I am leaning towards buying a 20' low boy gooseneck trailer for my landscape biz. Couple of questions, there is the option of pipe top or box tube, any difference? Also, any specific things I should look for?

One I have found here in town is 3K, 2 7K axles, brakes on one axle, and a wood deck. takes about 6 weeks to get it built.

Also, what about options on the ball it self? I would like something where I can easily remove it (with out crawling under the truck) and one where the chain hooks don't always stick up.

TIA

yep, B&W turn-over ball, don't even know it's there. I would call Terry's in OK. He can build whatever you want and always seems to make a better trailer for less money. Plus you can get out of paying taxes on it.
