In all the discussion about haying, much of the argument for using larger tractors is around the relative weights of the tractor versus the implement in tow. This is a very important safety concern.
Can those of you with larger compacts and utility tractors respond with what your operator's manuals say is a safe max weight for a towed implement?
I'll look it up for my B2910 (manual is at home), but I seem to recall around 1500 lbs, maybe as much as 2000 lbs was the limit for a towed trailer or implement. That's about equal to the tractor's weight WITHOUT loader or loaded tires.
It would be nice to have some rule of thumb around how heavy a load can be safely towed.
