Hauling Ahead: The Trailer That Keeps Us Moving
The work doesn’t start when the mulcher hits the ground. It starts when the truck and trailer pull out of the yard. If the hauling isn’t right, the whole job slips.
That’s why we added a Big Tex 22GN Gooseneck Trailer to our setup.
Why hauling matters
Forestry gear is heavy, awkward, and not something you throw on a light trailer. Getting it to the site takes the right tool.
A bumper pull can work for lighter loads, but when the weight goes up, so does the risk. Sway, uneven handling, and safety issues all show up fast.
A gooseneck changes the game. It ties into the truck bed instead of the bumper, which means:
The load rides steadier.
The truck tracks straighter, even on backroads.
The whole setup handles better at highway speed.
More gear comes in one trip.
That stability is what keeps us on schedule.
Why we went with Big Tex
We went with the Big Tex 22GN (102” x 25’). It’s built for hard work. The dovetail and Mega Ramps make loading safe and quick. The frame and axles are sized for the weight we run every day.
And Big Tex has a reputation — contractors, farmers, and haulers across the country use them because they last.
What this means for landowners
For our clients, this trailer means fewer delays and a smoother job. We can:
Bring the machine and attachments in one load.
Get to the site quicker.
Keep projects moving without waiting on rentals or outside haulers.
Haul safer, with the right setup for the weight.
The job doesn’t just start at the tree line. It starts with reliable hauling.
Bottom line
At Siteworks Maine, we invest in the tools that keep projects moving forward. The Big Tex isn’t just another trailer — it’s what makes sure the work gets done right, from the first mile to the last acre.
