Ken,
I just looked this up in Bobcat Op manual. Maybe it can help decide whether to take it all in one load or make second trip.
Trailer weight tow capacity of CT445 = 7716 lbs. Tongue weight at drawbar = 1430 lbs. 3pt capacity with empty loader = 1870 lbs. Kioti and Bobcat do rate things a little different and have different loader, but all in all they are very close. Good Luck!
