I was thinking the same thing with regards to 10K bobcat tractor and trailer comb?
My jd 350B dozer with six way blade weighed in at 11K or so, can not compare to a 40HP tractor.
My 9 ton tri-axle weighs, I don't know, somewhere around 3K I would think at least?
I was pulling 14K I bet, and I was using a 3/4 ton K2500 with 4:10 gears and man was that a heavy load.
My tractor, loader and backhoe come in somwhere around 5K.

I said approx 10,000lbs, if I am off it is by a huge margin. Not necessarily in that picture, it was just a picture I had. Lets see, when I go over to the farm place I carry my box blade with me.
tractor weighs about 3,900
loader weighs 1,400 per the stats
trailer ? about 2,500 maybe
loaded tire water we'll say about 800
7ft box blade at least 600
and in my tools, jack, spare tire etc, and that equals about 9,500lbs give or take a little. Sorry, it's so hard to believe but the math doesn't lie.
That is my brothers trailer in the pic, mine doesn't have the supports on the ramps that sit on the ground when the ramps are down. All the weight is on the trailer, and my "little" tractor picks the entire rear of the truck of the ground. I don't use it unless I have to, I find it a little un-nerving to load and unload.
