JD 5103 FEL on 12' Trailer?

[Kfbeal]

I dropped my tractor off down at the bay on my BIL 36' gooseneck but need to go pick it up this weekend.

I have my 12' trailer available but not sure if my tractor will fit?

Anyone have any ideas what the measurements are from edge of front tire to center of back tire?

Or has anyone hauled a 5103 on a 12' before?

I should note it is a tandem axle 7000# trailer.

I'd go with a 10gvw to be safe. You'll probably be overloaded at 7k gvw.

You could make a 12ft trailer work with the FEL hanging over the front, my 4320 will take up 14ft with the loader on the deck.

Weight wise you will be within range, my buddies 18ft 10k trailer weights 2750lbs, a 12ft 7k will be less. Add your 5k tractor and minus 500lbs or so tongue weight and you should be under 7k on the trailer.

If it's 4 wheel drive with loader, that is closer to 6k lbs. Are the tires loaded?

I ended up backing the tractor on the trailer and strapped my box blade in the bucket on the FEL. It's a 2wd with FEL. We had about 1' to spare on the trailer but the bucket hung off.
