I'm looking for the loader weight as the delaet says with a L4701 and loader LA765 I can't use a dual axle trailer with axles rated at 3500 pounds.

Sorry to say you're dealers a moron!
At least when it comes to trailers.

You should be well under what the trailer can handle axle wise.
Does it have good rated tires, a good hitch, Brakes?
There should be a plate on the trailer that states the weight handling capacity of the trailer.

I'm looking to buy a trailer with brakes etc.. and it would gave 3500 dual axles, dealer says I need 5000 pound dual axles...


I have an F150 I'm thinking seriously?? I need a bigger truck now to pull the L4701 home from the dealer ?

Yea a trailer with tandem 3500 lb axles will be fine!
You're dealer must have a family member or he sells trailers.
The F150 on the other hand... well that aint going to cut it... Just joking!

One proof your dealer is being a dunce about the trailer, there are no 5K axles, only 5.2K and very rarely does anyone use them, they almost always jump up to the 7K axles, better rim and tire combinations with a 7k axle.

Thinking I need to start working with a different dealer

Interesting. My dealer only asked if I was picking it up or having it delivered. I don't know why they'd care one way or the other unless they are trying to sell you a trailer. Where in TN are you?

 

[Testedone]

I'm in middle TN near Columbia

IMO if your spending that kind of money why don't they deliver it for you for free. My dealer did. Maybe you can speak to them about this.
