It is time for my first post on TBN, other than my introductory post, and I want to thank everyone in advance for any advice.
For the first two weeks since I discovered TBN I have been reading old and current posts, and I am amazed with how much I didn't know about tractors, attachments, and their use.
I have searched the forum regarding my question and the amount of information pertaining to my question overwhelming to say the least.
My question: I have a New Holland TC1520 tractor with various attachments, including a snow blower. I would like to trailer it to a few locations (my job being primary) to do some snow removal. I will have a steep, long hill to pull up and down. What do I need for a truck and trailer to haul this thing?
I have a 1993 Chevrolet k1500 with a 4.3 V-6, 5 speed, which I know will not do the job. I have had this sorry old truck for a long time and 270,000 miles, and will not part with it so I would be looking to buy an additional used truck. Whatever I buy to pull the tractor will not have to be a daily commute vehicle - I have a little car for that.
I had my mind set on a 1-ton dump as I could make use of the dump truck, but I'm reconsidering it after reading another topic regarding them.
Sorry for making this so long, but I wanted to make sure I provided enough information. Thanks again for the advice.
