New machine was delivered yesterday. The ride control is awesome, clean air conditioned cab is great.

You towed that machine with a toyota tundra? WTF? That's got to weight over 10k right? It's a nice machine though good luck with it.

That was my thought! wow thats crazy. I would think class 5 truck or larger!

The machine looks great though!

Cool machine! The place I get my mulch uses one similar. You should have a blast with it!

I put about 6 hours on the new machine today, works fantastic. No I did not tow it with the Tundra, just had it hooked up to my trailer to stabilize it for load testing. I do pull that trailer hauling my Power-trac 1445 at about 7,500 gross though. I am still looking for a truck to haul the 244J on that trailer. Probably only need to move it 6 to 8 times a year so I don't want to spend a lot of money but the truck will need to pull the load and haul the bucket, flail mower and forks on a flat bed.

That trailer's not going to hold up too long having 11500 on a 12k trailer. Even if it was just for testing. What are you using the loader for?

Matt, I am using the loader for construction, landscaping and general utility work, snow plowing mowing with flail mower etc. The trailer is rated for 14,000k gross 12k axles 2k on the pintle, without the bucket it should be right at gross weight.

and how much does the trailer weigh????
that counts against the gross.
