How much can my tractor pull

[Jg1]

I have a 7195 Cub Cadet 19 hp. Hydrostatic transmission. How much weight can I pull without hurting the transmission?
I have a 4 ton flat hay wagon that I plan on using to haul wood logs for fire wood. I have my doubts about it pulling 2 ton across a field.
Someone told me it can pull half the weight of the tractor. Half the weight would approximately be 1000 lbs. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks

An HST transmission delivers max pulling power as the tractor first begins to move. So you may be able to pull a heavy trailer but only slowly.

You will need to observe engine temperature carefully.

I have rolling hills. I知 just afraid I値l burn it up.

I'd put a 1000 on the trailer, put your tractor in low range, 2000 RPM and test the waters.

I was one time advised never pull more than my tractor weighs... So it weighed approximately 5130 lbs
When I bought it... Now it weighs approximately 6300lbs... Use your best judgement.. :laughing:

Basically, the weight of a trailer shouldn't weigh more than the tractor, for braking purposes on hills. I found that out on an L2501 with a trailer of logs.

What happens whenever you overload a hydrostatic?
Does a relief valve open, and/or do oil temps increase?
Seems most have a fan to keep transmission cool.
Wonder if there’s a way to monitor the temps to use as a gauge on how hard transmission is working.
Acceleration and hills is the only time you need transmission to work. Absent those, I could push it by hand....on hard level pavement.

Assuming the ground is level and the wheels aren’t marred up you could pull the 4 ton wagon. Stopping the wagon is by far the bigger problem.

I often pull a trailer with 1/2 cord + (say oak at 2000lbs), plus another 700lbs of trailer behind a Deere LX280 lawn tractor that weighs about 500lbs.
....now this is only for a short distance and fairly level ground...wide open throttle for any incline and going SLOW doesn’t seem to strain transmission much.. judging by the whine.
...oh yeah...that’s another way to monitor how loaded transmission is.
Slow down when it gets so bad you need some cheese to go with it.

At worst,---trans will overheat! ---- pull it long enough and----well you know the rest. I don't know about these new fancy ones but my old 147 has been pulled, hot rodded, rolled and abused long before I got it and it still out pulls my simplicitys and Deere's! If you use common sense, I don't see that you will have a problem!
Go slow and test the waters, then you can tell how it acts. IF you smell hydro getting hot,--stop right then and let it cool down, then you should be o.k. for another short hop.
