The only issue I can see is that a tri axle trailer will put a greater sideways strain on the towing car when turning tightly due to the tyres having to scrub sideways in order to come round. This is the same to a lesser extent with a twin axle trailer. There is no reason for the number of trailer axles to have a bearing on your gearbox. Verdict: he's talking bollocks.

Thats crap they could plough if they had a 3 point linkage
Hi All
Thanks for comments and appreciate any further advice
I need a car transporter trailer from time to time that can take varying sizes of cars / commercials / Plant thats easy to use and load but will also take average amounts of abuse.
The Brian James TT Series with Tri Axel appears to be upto the job, However if any of you guys you know of better set up then your advice is most welcome.
As said only nagging doubt was the sales guys advice that my defender gearbox / diff (I forgot to mention he say diff as well as gearbox) may not be best suited.

I think you will find that the tri axle has smaller wheels to lower the deck height. Smaller whels carry less weight so you need more of them hence three axles. no other difference I can think of.
