I have a 14000lb trailer that is a bumper connect. I am asked if I would haul a 10000lb tractor 350 miles. It will be hooked to a 2001 Ford F350. Will may trailer handle it?

If your trailer weighs less than 2k lbs, yes.

Can't say for sure, but it is a heavy built trailer and each axle is rated at 7000lbs x two.

It'll haul it just fine. Even better if you tow it with the 1 ton because it can tote a lot of tongue weight. Make sure your trailer tires are aired up to the max pressure si they dont get hot.
Just curious but what kind of tractor? I ask because my 10000lb 966 IH wouldnt fit on a bumper pull trailer.

I hope so (and think it will) because I have about the same situation. I have a 14K bumper pull trailer and a Dodge ram the 5.9L Cummins diesel engine rated to tow 12.5K. With a 9500 lb tractor and the trailer it is right about at its rated limit. I will need to haul it 700 miles twice a year for several years, with some mountain grades. I'm betting the Cummins can do it - will find out several months from now. Mine is a SRW, but this and the bumper pull help to hold down the weight a bit.

The Tractor I am asked to haul is A John Deere 4040 and right now it is being check out to see how wide it is. I hauled a Oliver 1850 on it two years ago, 8 miles and it fit just fine. I was told the John Deere weight was 9600lbs and I rounded it off to 10000lbs.

Welcome aboard, this is the place to get your answers. Does this trailer have brakes and does your truck have a brake controller. All states; not having brakes for that large a load on the highway, is illegal. It could void your insurance on that basis. Think liability if Murphy's law prevails.
