Abstract: A trailer frame having fixed wheel track is provided with a forward and rear side platforms, each of which is slidably mounted on the trailer frame to move between a retracted position wherein the platforms extend from the sides of the trailer frame no further than the track of the wheels, and an extended position for carrying large machinery, such as farm equipment. An interconnecting side frame member is attached to the forward and rear platforms when in their extended positions. The interconnecting side frame member slidably engages each of the platforms and bolts to a telescoping side frame member support. The interconnecting side frame members can be easily disconnected and stored in a rear portion of the trailer when the side platforms are in their retracted position.

Abstract: A farm implement carrier is provided including an elongated load bed having front and rear ends. The front end of the load bed includes structure for hitching to a draft vehicle and a rear frame section is provided including a pair of opposite side elongated longitudinal members. Wheeled transverse axle structure is supported beneath the frame and supports the latter intermediate the opposite ends of the longitudinal members. The rear end of the load bed includes follower structure guidingly engaged and supported from the longitudinal members of the frame for shifting therealong from the front ends thereof, when the latter are inclined downwardly for engagement with the ground, to the rear ends thereof behind the axle structure or assembly and the fulcrum defined thereby, whereby to over-balance the rear ends of the longitudinal members and cause the front ends thereof to swing upwardly into engagement with the under-side portions of the opposite sides of the load bed.
