Tractor
farm trac 555
Just came back from the landfill where I weigh my tractor and trailer. Trailer and tractor together 8,560lbs. Tractor 6,350 trailer ship weight 2,300lbs. Out of a 10,000lb. trailer that leaves 1,440lbs. On the plus side. Now as far as chaining the tractor down I put it back some next to the dovetail and it didn't squat my truck like the last time! It handled pretty good I just hope there enough to une weight.

Yes, better "hope" there's enough tongue weight. :eek:

Is "hoping" like guessing or more like praying? I guess if you do the first one you'll be doing the other when you try to stop quick or get into a good hill. :D

On the way to the landfill the we're a few hills and I made both anyway I will cut it and put a few more feet on. I wish I could post pics. But tap talk won't let me piece of it!

If you are not getting any tail wag you are OK...
Looks like you have the tractor up enough to have adequate tongue weight to me...
Nice rig...

I know when I load mine, which is a lot lighter than your tractor, I just watch for the rear of the truck start to dip down.
