Trailer advice for l3301

Rubicon1000 · May 5, 2020

Hey guys my dad passed away last Thursday and he left me his tractor, it's an l3301 with a loader and backhoe. I also have a land pride 58" tiller and a land pride Bush hog.
I can make multiple trips but I could really use some info.
How long is the tractor with the loader and backhoe on and an estimated weight.
Rear tires are filled with rimgaurd. Thanks for any help

I haul mine on a 7,000 lb car hauler. The tractor and all shouldn't be more than 5,000 lbs max I would think.

It’s too heavy for a 7,000 pound trailer with the backhoe and implements.

I'm going to be moving the bush hog and tiller separately I just really need the length with the loader and backhoe

Always buy bigger than you think.stay under 10000 lb.for insurance and licensing. For a tractor your size i use a tandem axel with 6 lug nuts and electric brakes on all 4 wheels. rated at 9999.00 lbs.you will thank yourself later.

Yes, do not limit your future carrying ability by getting a unit that "just gets it done" today. Also, get a tilt if you have a backhoe to reduce the attack angle or may well drag the tail end getting on and off the trailer.

I have a similar tractor to yours.. a L3700su TLB. I have been using a 20' 10k low profile full tilt deck trailer for the past 5-6 years. I'm about to replace it with a all aluminum or galvanized full tilt in the next few weeks, same size and GVW. The low deck height makes it easier to load the tractor when the BH is on.

Hello, first of all I’m very sorry to hear about your father’s passing. That must be extremely difficult for you and your family.

The tractor with loader, backhoe and loaded tires is roughly around 5,800 lbs. Kubota does not recommend loading the tires on the L3301 if it’s equipped with a backhoe.

I will go measure my L3301 and let you know the dimensions. Give me a few minutes.

This is what a L3200 looks like on a 16' trailer. It only fits & balances because of the super long tongue. The L3200 is identical to a L3301 except emissions.

Trying to load or unload a backhoe or impliments is going to suck bad without a tractor on one end. You could chain things to a tree & drive off slowly or something. But that's sketchy, especially for a top heavy hoe.

L3301 is 2,700lbs TractorData.com Kubota L331 tractor information
The loader & loaded tires should add well over 1,000lbs
The hoe is probably over 1,000lbs
Most impliments are going to be 400 to 800lbs or so.

You are looking at a minimum of 7,000lbs for that machine on the lightest trailer you could get.

A trailer needs to have 10-15% of the weight on the tongue. That's 700-1,200 or higher on the hitch. Most half ton pickups dont have that much payload, especially when passengers, fuel & tools count against payload as well as tongue weight. 3/4 ton pickups barely have payload for 1,500lbs of tongue weight. Advertised tow capacity doesn't take payload & required tongue weight into account.
