I've used both before. I prefer a deckover for all the reasons mentioned above.
Having had both, there is no reason to want a low-boy. The fenders hit everything I loaded. Fork trucks can't load lumber and a dually won't fit because the lugs on the front wheel wouldn't pass the 85 inside width on the fenders (non-factory width tires won't fit on a 3/4 ton either). I put 2x10's down to get them over it.
Look for a Low-Profile deck over. The deck height is not bad. My old vs. my new.
85 inside width.
102 outside width (legal limit). Deck height is 32 inches.
I bought the 30' version of this for $11,000 with hydrualic dove tail.
That looks identical to the 36' Load Max we use for our hay service. I can vouch for them. The hydraulic dove tail will pick up the ass end off a 4440 and a 468 baler with a roll of peanut hay in it. We also haul 18 rolls of peanut hay at a time. They average 1400-1600 lbs apiece.
Be glad you changed your phone number, because I just tried to prank call it. LOL

Google...:hehe: I'm smarter than that my friend. That was my Stillwater number when I lived in town going to college. So you knew the area code?
As soon as I can get to Sonic, eat, and get home, I'm heading to the Red River with a trailer of hay. If it fails, I sure hope it ain't today.
how does the low profile deckover gooseneck with a hydraulic dove work for loading and unloading a puller with a weight box up front? does it work better than unloading or loading with standard ramps?
If you can swing it, we have both and they come in handy for different things.
However for a pulling truck I'd recommend a low-pro deckover, ours is rated for 22k and around 9 grand brand new.
