2012 CM 3HBP All Aluminum 3 Horse Bumper Pull Trailer with Hayrack

Description

Three Horses Without Stepping Up to a Gooseneck

Hauling three head usually pushes buyers toward a gooseneck and the truck that a gooseneck demands. This 2012 CM 3HBP is the argument against that. It carries three horses on a bumper pull hitch, which means quicker hookup, easier reversing, and no bed-mounted hardware taking up your truck bed the rest of the week.

The whole trailer is aluminum, and on a used unit that is worth real money. Where an older steel trailer of the same vintage would be showing rust at the seams and around the fenders, aluminum simply does not go down that road, and the lighter structure is gentler on your tow vehicle and your fuel bill. This one has been kept in good order and presents very clean for its age.

Layout is sensible for the size. A dressing room up front with a 2-foot short wall keeps tack, blankets and supplies out of the weather and away from the horses, while the 7-foot long wall gives the stall area the depth it needs. Seven feet of interior height suits horses up to about 21 hands, and the hayrack overhead lets you carry feed for a long day without stacking bales where the horses stand.

Specifications

• 2012 CM 3HBP, three-horse bumper pull, used
• All-aluminum construction
• Dressing room with 2 ft short wall and 7 ft long wall
• Hayrack
• 5,200 lb axles on 15 in tires
• Manual jack and spare tire included
• Outside width 7 ft; inside height 7 ft, roughly 21 hands
• Box length 17 ft
• Empty weight 3,000 lb; GVWR 10,160 lb

The 10,160 lb GVWR against a 3,000 lb empty weight is the figure that should shape your towing decision. Three average horses with tack and water put you close to the rating, and that is well beyond half-ton territory, so plan on a three-quarter-ton truck with a properly set brake controller and a receiver rated to match. Weight distribution matters more on a bumper pull than on a gooseneck, so load your heaviest horse in the front position.

On any used horse trailer the floor comes first. Lift the mats and examine the aluminum planking, especially where moisture collects along the edges and under the rear stall, then work outward to tire date codes, wiring, lights and brake response. None of this is cause for alarm on a trailer that has been looked after; it is simply how you turn a good-looking unit into a known quantity before you put animals in it.

Compared with other three-horse trailers on the market, a 3,000 lb empty weight puts this CM among the lighter options, which is exactly what makes the bumper pull format workable. Dimensions and weights listed here are approximate.
