Seller said we could buy his tandem axle trailer for $6-700
has the implements loaded on it for us to use to take to the property and also said we could use it to move the tractor as well even if we didn't buy it from him. I'm thinking if it looks decent, we'll get it.

Well, we bought it for $600
He also gave us some forks he had made that would fit on bucket. Open the clamshell a bit and sit it on them then close the bucket. Not sure what we will ever do with them, but I'm sure something will come along needing to be lifted.

here's the trailer. 16' long...needs a bit of tack welding done and will get that done at the shop here at work.

The Allis Chalmers in the background is the bossman's, not ours.

We didn't get the trailer. Just took it back today (seller let us use it and check it out before buying). Had sides welded up (simple job), but needed new shackles, bearings and possibly springs.

Borrowing a trailer for now, and actually supposed to pick tractor up from dealership in an hour or two.

Question, though...
any idea on what the tractor weighs with FEL? (ours is 4 in 1, so it would be a little heavier than normal 1525 FEL, I assume)
