I'm not a farmer but I grew up on one. You are exactly right it's probably doable with a tractor or something else that could turn sharper up front. Also having a longer tongue on the trailer would help but on this particular rig would probably put you over legal length. The HEMTT already has the turning radius of yacht with the double steering axles up front haha. We are building a dump box trailer on another tandem military trailer for areas where we need to be able to backup. It won't have quite the capacity of this one but should much more maneuverable. The size of this rig isn't always handy but with the crane and carrying capacity I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
