New to forums, trying to get new tractor home

[jrp91]

Hi all, I am new to the forums. So hello!

I bought a Kubota L35 today (without a backhoe), and am estimating it weighs about 4500 lbs. I have a double axle trailer and a 2004 F150 Heritage, manual transmission, 2x4, v6. I am hoping to go pick it up tomorrow. From what I've googled, I'm worried that my truck is not big enough to safely tow it home. It is about a 40 minute drive through a flat part of Indiana. Is this an ok idea, bad idea, or a horrible idea? I am very new to this, so I apologize for my ignorance. Any input would be appreciated!

Where you at in Indiana? I may be able to help you out. I have a truck and trailer capable.

You do NOT have a big enough truck.

If it were a Dodge, he would be ok :thumbsup: With his Ford. He's out

Eeeeeh....if he had a Dodge....I would advise him to drive the tractor home with the truck in the bucket. But a flatbed tow is the best bet here.

Drive the tractor home! Everyone always waves and yells hey at me. People are so friendly.

If the tranny held out long enough to get it out of the garage.
