Re: Pumpkin Trailer
A pumpkin with a 210" Circumference will have a
diameter of about 5.5 feet. It may be longer or wider
but it will average 5.5 feet.
I would think a 6 X 6 trailer would be enough for
almost any pumpkin. I would put a tandem axle on the
trailer to make the ride a smoother ride.
I plan on making one next year and these are the guide
lines I have come up with for my trailer.
