KUBOTA MX5100 TOWING POWER

[GILLYS CHILLI FARM AUSTRA]

Does anyone know how many tonnes an MX5100 Tractor with FEL can tow easily including a trailer?

Manual says 7700 lbs, Drawbar load is 1650 lbs, but I am sure it will pull more than that..

I always get confused with weights conversions so I asked google and these are results which suggest about 2-3 ton can be pulled.
It depends upon which "ton" you mean. 1 long (or gross) ton = 2240 pounds (UK) 1 short (or net) ton = 2000 pounds (US) 1 tonne (i.e., a metric ton) = 2204.6 ...
1 tonne = 2 204.62262 pounds.
How many kilograms make 1 metric ton? In: Weight and Mass [Edit categories]. Answer: One metric ton (also known as a 'Tonne') contains 1000 kg, or 2204 ...

Answer:

1 long (or gross) ton = 2240 pounds (UK)
1 short (or net) ton = 2000 pounds (US)
1 tonne (i.e., a metric ton) = 2204.6 pounds
In the United States, when people say "a ton," they're thinking the short ton, or 2000 pounds.

There are various dump trailers on the market and they must weigh a ton too, so does not leave much for dirt ton carrying capacity?
ANY COMMENTS FROM ANYONE WOULD BE HELPFUL

Thanks Creekbend for the link. How much can you tow with your L4400 might be a better guide i',m thinking

my mx5100 hst can pull a 4 bale hay trailer loaded with 5 by 6 bales an 1 on the loader no sweat.so id say thats close to 7000lbs towing or more.
