I moved my plane several times on a 6' and a 7' wide trailer.  I used a 8'6" long 2x12 board screwed and bolted to the trailer to set the mains on since the plane is 8'6" wide.  Main wheel pocket boxes were built with 2x4's screwed to the 2x12.  A 2x4 pocket box was also built for the nose wheel.  With the trailer hitch on the ground roll the plane up ramps into the main gear pockets and screw on the front of each pocket.  Also hauled it tail to the front of the trailer, with the mains behind the trailer fenders, but had to add significant trailer tongue weight (buckets of concrete).  One 80# sack of premix concrete with the water fills a 5 gallon paint bucket and weighs 100#. (I now use the 2 concrete buckets for the tail hold-down when the plane is on the jack stands.
