Re: Mahindra 4110 gear vs. JD 3520hydro Are you sure about that F150 towing 9,000 lbs.? My 2000 F250 Super Duty 4x4 is only rated for 12,000. Don't forget about your trailer weight and implements on your tractor and fluid in your tires in figuring your weight. I used my 4110 commercially for 2 years and of course towed it extensively - you really have to know your equipment to tow it safely. My 20' flat trailer weighs 3,000 lbs. alone. With the loader & fluid in my rear tires, my tractor is right around 7,000 lbs. If I had gotten my tractor before the trailer, I would have gotten a longer trailer too. Very tricky getting the equipment loaded and having the proper tongue weight. With a 6' rotary cutter mounted I have to back onto the trailer and the tailwheel is up close to the tongue jack to get the proper weight distribution. My trailer has brakes on both axles too - wouldn't even attempt to haul it with just brakes on one axle. Some points to consider ....
