i have a small donahue implement trailer- great paint an stickers etc
 
i have a long trailer with a square frame, but the same axle slide and locks etc- it needs a couple bushings
 
i am 90% sure it is a donahue- but i cant find a tag or stickers etc
 
did anybody else make these things? donahue still has the parts- the same bushings were used in everything

Or Deere sold Donahue's painted green. A necessary item for moving an 8 or 12 row planter that didn't fold. Especially 8 row wide, so the 7000 series planters had an easily folded tongue to fit down the road on the Donahue.

Donahue made them all, early versions had a round tube frame and later were square tube. Square tube were available in at least two different lengths and a heavier version for round bales and heavy equipment. Most had a bridge plank floor but I have seen some with heavy C chanel used too. John Deere and Allis Chalmers and MF sold them rebranded as their own products. I think mine is 28' over all with 22' or 24' of usable deck.

I've never seen any other than Donahue, or repainted Donahue.  They still make them in Durham, Kansas.  I think they've made them from 5 to 12' wide and from 21 to 48' long.  A neighbor here used to have a 10' x 48' quad axle double frame to move a set of DK4 noble drills.  The trailer itself was a load for a 3/4 ton pick-up, and loaded it took a 8640 JD to back the deck back on the wheels.  I think it has a 32000 lb rating.

I have used one on several ocassions. I remember looking in the pickup mirror & seeing how the Donahue's wheels would be angled inward at their tops, while their bottoms were flared outward. After a close inspection, both axle pivots were wallored out.

I have one I should sell, I think it's a 28 ft. will need a few bridge planks, it's loaded with a building on it right now. also, there was one other company that made those things, but can't remember the name right now, both companies sold them to other companies for re-badging.

No you can't there is no way a pickup would stop it. We got a 12 x40 quad axle at the farm. We have moved it around the farm with a one ton pickup when empty it's still quite a load if you get it off in the grass it's hard to move.

My dad has one for sale right now on Craigslist Siouxcity and Omaha. It is a newer John Deere with rounded pipe. Has put all new plank on it. Used it to get tractors all over the Nebraska  and South Dakota. Yes you can pull it behind a pickup used it many times to haul d17s. They started with round then went square pipe then went back to round Donhue made them for all these companies

Even an 8' wide Donahue is better than 10 1/2' wide and have no brakes. A 10' wide one with the tires on the centerline the outer tires are on the shoulder if you have one. Around here the outer tires are in the ditch any time your meeting traffic.Dragging it down the highway at high speeds is not a good idea. And a bad ticket if you get stopped.

I've also pulled mine down the road at highway speeds, only thing is when a cap comes off a tire, it really go up high! lol. pulled mine with the burb and with a 1/2 ton pickup with no problem going or stopping. the round framed ones are stronger than the square framed ones. and yes Steve, they did make them for others. there was also a company that made a hyd lower and raiser type.
