Real good video on the new trailer. Seeing the quality work on a diamond C trailer is making me think about one for myself. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
It’s nice to hear people who really use this stuff talk through their thought process. For a guy like me who would be buying one for occasional use it makes it easier to say ok I care about that too so I need to consider that or I don’t need it for that so I don’t need to think about that.
Sam, your videos are always excellent! Your recent trailer purchase was very well thought out. And you are just keeping a good variety of equipment on hand. And given the variety of your activities. It is very smart. And can be a safety factor for keeping you out of trouble. I have seen people hurt. Because they tried to make one trailer. Do too many things.
When I buy an equipment trailer, I plan to get this but 24ft and having it derated to 14k but have the 2 10k axles. Quite literally every option you have except the longest ramps and maybe a diffraction color. Love the quality of their trailers!
I just ordered a Diamond C trailer today! I'm very excited about it and your videos helped me make the decision. Ordered a 20k pintle to go behind my dump truck with a 30 ft deck + 5 ft dovetail, hydraulic jacks, and a couple of under mounted tool boxes. I'm very excited! Keep up the good work man!
I do like the 22 foot bumper pull LPX Diamond C trailer. I'm in the market for a trailer. Not needed but wanted. Hydraulic steel well jack seems to be the way to go. I was concerned about the ramps, at first. I was originally considering a tilt deck but your rationale surely made sense. Your video answered many of my questions. I also like the drive over fenders vice the deck over but I too want the low profile trailer. Your video answered many questions I needed info about. Thanks Sam for the detailed Diamond C trailer video. Nicely done. 👍🏽🙂
I just bought a 7 ton trailer very similar to that but I would much much rather have that one perhaps one day soon!! Very nice!! Absolutely perfect for my application s
I had almost same trailer 24’ bought it in June very nice trailer . I sold it in late august and bought a 20+5 dovetail deck over Pintle by load and Trail 20k rated with duals and love it much more than that one . I hated the fenders as I was always hitting them due to having almost always to back on with my TL 10 and 76” wide mower and a bucket I would put up front . and had to weekly bend them back to shape so I went with a deckover . Also be careful with those ramps I had the ramp pin bend where the springs are attached and my machine Is only a TL 10 . So your machine weighs more . Great trailer I did love it but I am much happier with my Pintle deck Over, I bought a load and trail brand this time due to availability I would bought a Díamond C Pintle but couldn’t get one in time so far so good and it Tows Great .
I have a 20' 7k Diamond C utility trailer I use to haul my SXS. It's a great blue color, and always gets lots of comments at every ride. Its about eight years old, and still looks and works great! I am looking at upgrading to a 24' so I can haul two.
I like the specs on your new trailer, I might have to put something like that together. My old '02 7k car hauler is getting outdated and i could use the increased weight capacity.
The reason for pintle is weight capacity. Pintle is rated up to 100k I have a 10k diamond c with the adjustable Hitch that frequently switch from to pintle cause one truck only had pintle. I love my diamond c. I've used several trailers over the years, repaired alot of new trailers. I researched long before I purchased this trailer, like you it wasn't the price that decided it was the quality and standard options that sold me. I was in a time crunch so had to buy off lot so didn't get all the options I wanted but am still very happy with my purchase
Very impressive, I'm working on a 24 footer and am looking for ideas, for example the way the tongue is built. Looks like 10 inch I beam, I really would like closer look and maybe dimensions. I have already built the framework with a 3 ft dove tail. And as I said I need some words of wisdom for the tongue. Thanks for the video
Love the trailer but quick question me and my father are gonna build a new 24 ft trailer to replace are old car hauler we have two older 1500 rams dose a goosneck help with spreading out weight better vs bumper pull bc we were tossing around the idea of making are new trailer gooseneck ?
I swear by my pintle hitch. Yes they rattle a little but i feel so much better over using a ball. I have a 97 f350 that i haul my antique tractor around on a 89 9 ton owl equipment trl that is deckover tandem dually. Granted it scales 13k loaded it feels nicely planted. I wish i had a winch. Helped a friend haul a junk motorhome. Using a come along to load it during early covid in michigan so was trying to keep distance so i did the cranking. My arms when finished were locking up. I kept under 45 hauling it but that was cause the motorhome suspension causing a rocking that i didnt like
LTC trailer company in Waco Texas is great if your not near Sam’s Dealer. They have multiple locations in Texas and sell flatbeds too. I got my flatbed there. Diamond C dealer. Great people.
Question, when using the flat deck truck, could you not use a 5th wheel and flat trailer like a semi, or is that outside regulations,,, I'm in scotland,
Love your channel bud I'm a residential tree climber from Massachusetts dig your setup and all your stuff my question is man what are the pins for under the front strap d rings on little buddy ? Holy @$^* your next video popped up and I see a spider lift... god man you have my dream outfits
Sure know what you mean about the pintel. I rent an equipment trailer now and then to move my tractor, the rental trailers are pintel and they never grease them. When I ask the yard man to grease the loop he looks at me like I'm crazy. They grind on turns and bang when you start and stop.
So do we have a diamond c discount code yet? lol. I've been looking at the diamond c bumper pulls for my tractor. Your videos have been helpful and informative.
@@VBELTandSON I wonder 💭 if it would fit between the ramps and flip down out of the way when you are loading? Any particular reasons why the D-rings are set in from the edge? Could not tell if it was lining up with the frame?
My local dealer has a 24' lpx spec'd out exactly like yours. I have a Tak TB260 (12k pounds). Would I be better off with 22'? Just trying to figure out the best length for my machine. Thanks, Rob
What solar chargers do you use on your rigs? Been looking for one for the winch on my flatbed, tired of buying batteries or having to hook it to a trickle charger the night before a job
Sam congratulations on the new Diamond C, got a question do you have Electric over hydraulic disc brakes on the other diamond C trailer and if you do do you like them ?
So in Missouri we run farm tags on our trucks and I can weigh as much as I want to licence to. We have four cummins and all of them have 30k plates on them. I regularly weigh 28k but its all personal and farm use. could i get away with that in cali
Wait having reflector strips means that you are over 10k??? I have a dump trailer that’s only rated for 5,000lbs and it has those reflector strips up top
Pintle hooks are for weight well over 21k. If you get a quality hitch they latch around that ring nice and tight and you don’t get that slop in it. Consumer grade ball/pintle combo hitches are nothing but slop and are really not meant for full time pintle work
Agreed, Diamond C likes to advertise Lippert as the superior axle when the rest of the world says otherwise, Dexter clearly is the better of the two axles although I don't think you will hurt 2 10k oil bath axles regardless.
Pindles are big in fleets and rental companies because it’s lower liability than a actual ball hook up were a latch could be forgotten or it could look like it’s on but it isn’t. Really for noobs who don’t know how to hook up a trailer, the pindle is just more fool proof being just a big ring on a hook. I agree with you Sam, I don’t like them either.
Still waiting for these trailer manufacturers to get smart and fabricate the ramps movable along one continuous bar. That way it’s possible to load equipment that might be narrower than 52” or thereabouts.

Great stuff. Thanks for the info, keeping the weight down and not getting a tilt deck makes perfect sense to me.

Love the Diamond C trailers. Keep up the good work.
Sam you made a wise choice . Great trailer , Love it . Looking forward to your choice of winch and installation video . Great video .
Excellent video, I plan on buying one within the next 6 weeks, so all that practical knowledge is very helpful.
Love the Trailers! Great choice! Thanks for the videos...
Definitely looks like one of the best trailers on the market. Very nice. 👍🏻

Great video great presentation on why you bought that specific trailer thanks
The penile hitches for off-road and rough Terrain. It's primarily used by utility companies and the military. And agriculture uses it to
I want that trailer. That hydraulic jack is a must, thanks for sharing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Very nice man!! They look good!!!
Great trailer. Congratulations
I appreciate hearing your thoughts on pintel hook.
That paint condition after 13 months is nothing short of a miracle....
Trailers looking good. You certainly did all the resurch for your specific needs. Great video as always, you never disappoint!!
Just ordered 2 dump trailers from David. Should be here just after New Years!
Nice set up Sam! Keep up the good videos.
You had me at low center of gravity.
Nice trailer. Just add some expanded grate down around the Jack for a spot to put chains.

Versatility and engineering,go get them Sam.

On a ca cdl anything over 10000 lb or over 20 foot in length cdl is required. Love your videos.

Love the diamond C trailer
Looking good
Hauling a midsize tractor around 9000 lbs with an implement attached which trailer would you use?
Isn't it nice to have what you like to work with ? Buy once once cry once. Keep on trucking.
Only one once was supposed to be there. Damn auto spell.
Hey first one here! Pumped for another video!
have you looked at the southland trailers. great content Sam love your videos
Did you get a permit for the shed?
Where do you get those little D rings for the stake pockets
What’s the rateing of you gooseneck diamond c if I may ask sir
Great video
how much would the first one cost if it was a forty footer
How does that work. Get them to pay you with thier trailers. Just Curious.
I don’t think you mentioned how long the deck is on your new trailer? We have the PJ version of it, but you make me want to consider switching!
22
I love my full tilt diamond C… only complaint is it’s starting to rust after 2 seasons in the northeast…
Them hydraulic jacks come with a manual way to raise and lower in case the something goes wrong with the hydraulics or battery
Tractor assist
Have you thought about mounting the spair tire on the side for more box space.
Yup I am full width can’t go straight on the side. Needs on top or underneath
@@VBELTandSON I wonder 💭 if it would fit between the ramps and flip down out of the way when you are loading? Any particular reasons why the D-rings are set in from the edge? Could not tell if it was lining up with the frame?
Nice trailer. Is there much sway at hwy appends with a heavy load
No swaying
Love it... GOD BLESS Y'ALL

I don’t think the 24 would be bad. Little longer than it needs to be but spots would work great still
the army loves pintle hooks for trailers they are fast to hook up but are sloppy and jerky when pulling trailers
Ball hitch is the way to go
This video is better than the ones Diamond C has on their channel!
What happened between you and that other brand?
What solar chargers do you use on your rigs? Been looking for one for the winch on my flatbed, tired of buying batteries or having to hook it to a trickle charger the night before a job
Amazon special. Like 20-30 bucks works great
@@VBELTandSON I appreciate it
What brand are this stake pocket D rings? Those are slick. I need heavy duty set. Need to chain down my 8 ton skip loader.
Diamond c makes them
I’ll have to look into that.
Can’t wait till I’m in the market for a new trailer. Those diamond C’s are damn nice.
Sam congratulations on the new Diamond C, got a question do you have Electric over hydraulic disc brakes on the other diamond C trailer and if you do do you like them ?
Yup hydro disks on the big buddy they awesome work very very well
@@VBELTandSON Thank you
So in Missouri we run farm tags on our trucks and I can weigh as much as I want to licence to. We have four cummins and all of them have 30k plates on them. I regularly weigh 28k but its all personal and farm use. could i get away with that in cali
Would you still recommend diamond c? I use mine often to haul project cars around now, but I need a longer trailer
Yeah diamond c is the best for sure. I’ve bought 3 more diamonds since Thai video
@@VBELTandSON im looking at the gtf 22' but can't decide if I should go with the 102" or not.
Wait having reflector strips means that you are over 10k??? I have a dump trailer that’s only rated for 5,000lbs and it has those reflector strips up top
That’s what it’s supposed to mean
I love my lpx 22’ 102 wide. 14,900 lb axelstho
how much can a 40ft cost ? i been looking for one but it difficult to get.
Look at they're website and see for yourself.
I want one
How much extra was the Stillwell Jack?
Idk have to ask my dealer. Worth it tho
Please buy a 95-97 7.3 powerstroke .
F350 extended cab dually preferred guy ;)
What length is the bumper pull trailer.
22
Much better than any Big Tex!
Used to be a inspector for BT and they are more about quantity than quality.
Any opinions on Gatormade trailers?
I won’t buy a gator. Diamond c is the best.
Pintle hooks are for weight well over 21k. If you get a quality hitch they latch around that ring nice and tight and you don’t get that slop in it. Consumer grade ball/pintle combo hitches are nothing but slop and are really not meant for full time pintle work
Commercial pintle hitches have a air cylinder in front to tighten the hitch so no slop
Almost didn't subscribe for the ford comment.....sometimes the truth hurts. But love the vids keep them up!
Hah I don’t remember which Ford joke is said
@@VBELTandSON you said some of the dodges you pick up don't run but ALL of the ford's definitely don't run hahah
Ohh haha classic
So, does this mean the "other brand" trailer will be on the market?
Naw I keep it around for back ups and limited access jobs
I'm seriously thinking about buying a Diamond C but was told the Lippert axles are not as good as Dexter. Anyone have thoughts on this?
Better. Dexter didn’t want to evolve so dc went elsewhere.
@@VBELTandSON can you elaborate? I've heard of several failures from the Lippert axles. Were they having problems in the past and are better now?
Agreed, Diamond C likes to advertise Lippert as the superior axle when the rest of the world says otherwise, Dexter clearly is the better of the two axles although I don't think you will hurt 2 10k oil bath axles regardless.
@@VBELTandSON better how, like your videos but I don't think you or Diamond C can back that statement up...

Very nice trailer 👌 👍. Time to get rid of Texas pride trailer and replace it with a Diamond C trailer 😀.
What happened between him and that brand?

How much does your lpx weigh?
4 ish
Those Valcrum Caps are bad to the bone!
The reason pintle hitches are still being used, is because there's still men that pull trailers.
