Trailer JD 3039R

[Musdalen]

dieselscout, Your rig must be quite a bit longer than my 16 ft long outfit is. I put it on the trailer and discovered that I have more room than I expected. When I want to travel with mower, I may put that under the bucket and lift it into the trailer with the FEL while backing up the ramp. But for sure, there is quite a bit of room to jockey around. I'm am glad (so far) that I did not buy the 20 ft. rig. Ill post a pick in a minute.

I think I'll use a combination of chains and straps for holding things down.

With the block up against the front of the trailer, I have way too much tongue weight, so I would move back on the trailer somewhere.

100 - 300 depending on style & max capacity

alexpops, yes you gave the op a link - but I really think he was asking you "which" one of those "Many" links you chose to use. I really find it distasteful when someone asks a question about a specific component and they get a generic link - that lists "hundreds of variants to choose from" and they really wanted to know what you chose to use! Is it really that to hard to answer a specific question? Following thread and just curious about specific answers.

I hate strapping down my tractor, especially the front. I usually end up routing the straps over the front tube of the FEL, and then attaching to the front weight bar on the tractor, but it's hokey. I seem to remember reading somewhere that strapping to the front axle was a bad idea, but can't remember if that was in the manual or just someone on a forum. I really wish Deere had given us some hooks or eyes to attach to in the front.

Rear, I go to the axle or loops either side of drawbar, center rear. But since my tractor is towed backwards, rear straps aren't having to handle the hold-back under braking that the front straps see.

I think your picture proves my point.

If you had a 5’ rotary cutter on your 3 point your grapple would be at or beyond the end of the trailer.

The result is you would have no way to adjust the load (forward or backward) in order to get the tongue weight needed.

I have at least 2 options. First, drive on forwards and put the bucket over the rail on the tongue. Second drive on backwards with the mower suspended from the FEL. The latter, I am 90% certain will work.

Winter Deere. You are certainly right about the need for tiedown loops in the front. I wonder how JD transports them?

Regarding Deere tie downs, my 2320 has a weight bar on the front with holes that are very convenient for hooks. Do the larger tractors have this?

My 3039 has nothing

Looking at your picture the trailer might be a little nose heavy but I’m guessing. I think 18 feet is going to serve you well. Nice looking rig.

You could add a plate and shackle like I did to my Kioti, or weld some hooks to the grill guard / weight bracket.

Deere makes a weight bracket. Or you could use these: BOLT-ON TIEDOWNS
