Don’t know…

Me too!

Thank you to all who provided comments. Made some modifications including moving the tractor towards the trailer tongue about 12” or so. Here are new photos… Mirrors removed…

Yes, both axles have electric brakes. I called the mfg to confirm.

The draw bar is in all the way. It bumps into the transmission/engine. It can’t go in any further.

Ok…my memory just isn’t what it used to be for sure! Here is the spec sheet from the manufacturer…5820 pounds weight capacity. Subtract 5159 pounds for tractor and loader, there is still 600 pounds to go. So there is excess capacity for the trailer. I had originally put the tractor on facing...

I did not subtract the tongue weight.

Here is what I get….tractor w/4wd and HST = 3,880 pounds, 805 loader = 1279 pounds total = 5,159 pounds…yup….might have to rethink this. I have a friend that has a dump trailer with 10,000 pound capacity….

I took it for a test drive and ran 55-60. No problems other than I could tell I was hauling a heavy load, heavier than I had on the trailer before.

Lol….how heavy is your tractor?

You are right about it getting old. Fortunately we break it down to 400 miles and spend the night. Good news is I have a 2500 with diesel and Allison transmission and that makes pulling a trailer a bit better…just a bit!

I use wheel nets all the time for my Polaris SXS 4 seater and my cars (Corvettes). The wheel nets are made by Macs Custom Straps. The trial run I could feel the tractor behind me…we are going to take it easy and run between 55-60 mph.

The photos below show my set up. Each set of straps has a 3,000 pound working load limit with a 9,000 safety limit. The trailer has a total load limit of 6,000 pounds. The trailer itself weighs 1,000 pounds leaving a load limit on top of the trailer of 5,000 pounds. The tractor and loader...

Wow! I have some “boulders” on my property. No chance in moving them, one is about 14,000 pounds and the other is 50,000 pounds. Big granite boulders. We have lots of granite. Granite weighs 170 pounds per cubic ft.

Yes, I know that but that wasn’t the question.

Corvettes and Polaris RZRs have their battery charger plug into a cigarette lighter conveniently located. Can I use the same kind of charger plugged into the cigarette lighter for my 3560 to keep the battery in tip top condition?

Ugh…you got some trees down! I am building a new home and the guy that cut the trees made 3 massive piles of oak and hickory. Cutter said there was 20-25 cords of wood. Getting the tractor with the grapple will make cutting the wood pile much easier!

Thank you. Took it for a test ride today and it will be a slow ride…maybe 55-60 instead of 70-75. I loaded the knee mill first, so there is a lot of weight forward. Nice and easy, no sudden moves! thank you!

We got the mill (2700) pounds and the lathe, metal shear and one of the big toolboxes loaded on the trailer. Everything has been covered with 3 different tarps. I am going to take the truck and trailer for a test drive today. Just to be sure….

Yes, some oil oozed out…slowly….
