11" shouldn't be a problem for most of the machinery around here. If it is we can always build up a dirt ramp to elevate the machines for loading.

Re: Steamer
The trailer looks good.
What about making the two center axles steerable to reduce the scrubbing when you turn. It should follow like a standard 2 axle trailer then.
