I've recently been informed by the retailer who sold me my Kioti DK35 that they will no longer sell or service the Kiotis. They were located about 3 miles from my place. They have kindly referred me to another dealer that is about 20 miles away.
I had been planning to buy a flatbed trailer to haul lumber/whatever for some time. So I thought, maybe I could get a bigger trailer and when my Kioti eventually needs service, I could haul it in myself. Problem is, I know next to nothing about towing something as heavy as my Kioti.
I have a late model Chevy 1500 pickup. I think it is rated to tow about 4,000 pounds. My Kioti weighs about 4,000 pounds with the FEL. It is about 13' long with the FEL attached.
I have seen 77"x14' flatbed trailers for sale, they are not too expensive. Would having brakes on such a trailer be a necessity? Would the combined weight of the Kioti and the trailer likely be too much for my truck to pull (I would have no interest in exceeding 55 mph)?
Would I be better off just paying a pro to move my tractor? What do y'all think?
