I have a L3700 SU, manual says the 3ph can lift about 2k pounds. I have a camper that's in a tight spot for a pick up to get st.. weighs about 10k pounds.. it's on flat ground.. needs to move about 80 feet.. will the L3700 pull it ? ..I have a skid steer as well and I know that will lift and pull it.. but it's more work to load and move it,
What can it tow

Although I wouldn't hook it up on the 3 point.

Lift capacity should be fine at around 1500# (15% of gross weight), it will extend the hook up a few inch back vs on the trailer drawbar... more importantly you will most likely crank that trailer pretty hard to fit it in place (assumption) and that will put lots of lateral pressure on the 3 point links. I just think its a safer bet on the trailer drawbar. Also I don't know how you would fit a trailer ball hitch on a 3 point tractor drawbar as the holes are smaller then the ball bolt unless you simply use a chain ?

also when backing up with a 3 point there is nothing holding from lifting up... I know you said its flat ground but still not ideal.
I have a triangle thing that
i have a triangle thing that goes in my 3ph. Then the 2" shaft with the ball goes in that. ..So that's what I was thinking about using

Is the drawbar on that tractor high enough and long enough to hook up to a travel trailer? I know my Branson it would be a problem to get the tongue of the trailer that low.
3 point is the only option I would have.
