Need recommendation

[RedNeckRacin]

Can I pile on? I agree with the posters about needing more truck. I think just pulling the tractor up on the trailer behind the 1/2 ton will convince you.

i have a 5055e no cab, no loaded tires, with the 553 loader, bucket weighing just under 400 lbs, woods RM90 on the back, full tank of fuel and my 220 lbs in the seat the tractor weighs 7920 (or maybe it was 7980), i do have the weigh carrier on the front i think it's about 120 lbs. i tow it on a 10K 20ft trailer. it is pushing the limits both in length and weight. i bought it because it was a good deal and would be useful. if i were to do it again i would go with a 14K 22ft equipment type trailer with stand up ramps http://s938.photobucket.com/user/terryknight/media/tractor/0022_zpsda7f30bb.jpg.html i also have a 27ft GN which gets used as well http://s938.photobucket.com/user/terryknight/media/truck/towing/008_zps320dc74d.jpg.html both have their place

Do you secure it with straps?

I have a 5303 4wd with FEL and MX6 that I move on a 22' 12k bumper pull with stand up ramps with my 2004 F150 with 5.4 V8 and 3.73 gears. From bucket edge to mower tail wheel is approximately 24'. There are times I wish had 24' or 26' trailer and probably would bump to a 14k rating. Would like a deck over gooseneck and 3/4 ton, but get by fine with what I have for the limited times and distance I move tractor.
