I will be experimenting this weekend with my setup. I have a 10 foot long tractor with the FEL on, and a 10 foot long TSC 7000lb single axle utility trailer. We'll see if it'll fit or not, either way, I'll snap a pic or 2 for your amusement.
Think you quoted the wrong poster. Those boxes are on Crashmans tractor. Looks like the bxpanded toolboxes I think?What is that tool box mount you have? That looks like a great solution to the cigar box they put on the tractor from the dealer.
In my case I load it different just about every time. It depends on the attachments I need, the weigh and how they nest together.For you guys with 16-20+ foot trailers, If not trailering a tractor with an implement on the back, Id suggest you consider BACKING the tractor onto the trailer, and chaining your lift-arms to/under the front rails of the trailer, then using the 3-pt lift to take a strain UP on the front rails. This will not only place the heaviest part of your tractor slightly fwd of the axles properly loading the tongue of the trailer, but it will also be safer loading/unloading and will better LOCK the tractor from moving on the trailer if a panic-stop should occur.
Im not out to be the safety police, but how does that pull? What you pulling it with?
3/4 ton Chevy crew cab pick up. Pulls with no issue...large gas engine and tranny. The trailer is actually a 14,400 derated to 9,990 for taxes/highway use and no special license requirement. Out here, if you are over 10k you are supposed to get a upgraded DL...Im not out to be the safety police, but how does that pull? What you pulling it with?

That pic is actually of it before I built a rack for the front bucket to rest on/strap in to...
I spent about 4 hours figuring out where exactly to load it so that the rig sits flat. When I haul the tractor I use a weight adjusting/leveling hitch so the front wheels of the truck are properly weighted. I bought a tongue scale to get it just right.

Nope...look at that tool box/ bucket rack I added...Got ya. That other post it just looked like the back of the truck was squatting a good bit so I was thinking front of that truck gotta be pretty light. The bucket doesn***8217;t get close to the bed when you turn sharp?
You are correct. Bxpanded tool boxes.Think you quoted the wrong poster. Those boxes are on Crashmans tractor. Looks like the bxpanded toolboxes I think?
