weight

I have never towed this tractor on this trailer. I measured from ground level to the top of the rear wheel well and got 39" with the unloaded trailer attached. With the tractor backed onto on the trailer the measurement is 38". If the tractor is driven up onto the trailer, bucket first, and the...

Can anyone tell me what the max tongue weight on an old (1997) Steiner 430 should be. Specifically I want to know if it is OK to pull a trailer with a tongue weight of 250 pounds.

I have a Kubota l3130 DT with loaded R4s. With a set of Everything Attachments forks on the front and no implements on the rear does anyone know the Weight ditribution by %? I need to load it on my trailer with a log spltter near the tongue and can't get the tractor as far forward as usual. The...

I have a Tye-Bro Metals equipment trailer with a label which says: GVWR 12,000 lbs GAWR 6,000 lbs I understand that the above lists "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" - Meaning how much it can handle, including its own weight. I also understand that "Gross Axle Weight Rating" refers to what each...

I've just visited a farmer who has built a selection of ballast weights, saying "The weight in the front (or rear 3-pt) depends on what you have on the other end". It interests me because I damaged a tractor quite badly by making a concrete weight which was far heavier than was needed. The 60hp...

I understand windshield fluid is good for tire weight but would think the main ingredient is water. What about rim rust using this? If rust is not a danger would it not be cheaper to use water and antifreeze? Or is there danger of rust with it? Since found out it will take to much antifreeze and...

I have a 5055E with a loader (520M) that has a lifting capacity of over 3k pounds. I would like to lift at least a ton with my forks. My tires are not filled. How much ballast weight do I need on the rear (I have weights I can add on to my BB) in order to lift a ton with my forks? Thanks.

I'm in the market for a 22' car hauler for my Kubota. What I've been noticing is that most of the trailer length is in front of the axles, putting a lot of weight on the hitch. What am I missing here? My last 22' trailer had the same problem and I recently sold it. I was constantly being...

I am hopefully moving a few states south this fall. I have a 16' double axle car hauler rated for 7k lbs. I'm guessing my T474 weighs 3600lbs + 1100 for the backhoe + 1k for the loaded tires. That puts me at about 5700lbs. I'll guess my trailer weighs 1500lbs. Maybe I can transport my bucket...
