I ordered a diamond c in early Feb. picked it up about a month ago. So far I like it, has the ramps like you’re looking for. At the suggestion of someone on agtalk, I researched the Hutchinson suspension and decided to go with that. Also put 17.5 tires on it so hopefully they last a little longer. Wiring seems good, nice looking harness. 2 things I don’t like, powder coat paint. Looks great now, not sure what it will look like in a few years. And starting at the beginning of the year, diamond c put the spare tire underneath it, between the frame rails. It was so new when I ordered it, they didn’t have pictures of what they were doing and it slipped past me. I fought and argued and pissed and moaned about it under there and got nowhere. Obviously them Texans don’t under stand what salt does to spare tires and the ability to get them out when needed. And to make it worse, my county chlorides all county gravel roads the whole length. And the roads are crushed rock. So always have chloride dust floating up into stuff.
Our spare tire on our Diamond C is up on top the neck where everyone has put spares on GN trailers forever... 2 year old FMAX216
We've had Corn Pro, and Moritz, and my Uncle has had a PJ and a Load Trail. We liked the Corn Pro, just couldn't get to 40' with the capacity we wanted, so we had to switch...same with Moritz. We waited a year on them to build us the "new" trailer they were coming out with, and then they decided not to do it.
The Diamond C is the BEST GN trailer we've ever owned. 40', Hydraulic Tail, Hutchison Suspension, Electric/Hydraulic Disc brakes, 17.5 rubber, hydraulic jacks. It's HEAVY, but it pulls nice, and we haven't even strained it in 2 years. We don't cut it much slack either. Not cheap, but so far it's holding up better than the last couple Corn Pro's we had. They weren't bad, don't get me wrong, but we treat our GN like a semi trailer somedays (most days at times). If we can't get a semi into a farm, we'll put this trailer on our S/A T800 Kenworth and load a 200hp tractor on it and not think twice about it.
Loads like this coming home from an Antique show last fall...only 20 miles though:
