Your towing rigs and trailers

[stimpyva]

Nice looking setup, I wish you lived closer, I could borrow some of those implents when I need them. I'd even store them for you for free.

Hahaha! Thanks! We built a 40x20 barn last year but already running out of room.

Thanks! Love the expedition and trailer. Have not had much time w/ the Kubota yet.

My set up in various recent states of development. That is a 7700 pound GVWR 20' dual brake Superior made trailer pulled by a 2016 Toyota Sequoia loading a 2017 Kioti 2610 hst with FEL and Bush Hog. Pulls really nice. And a shot of one of my food plots. Also recent.

Lost access to the T250 EcoBoost van when we sold the company. Wife wanted a sailboat, so we bought a 2016 Tahoe LT with the Max Towing Package. Has the 5.3 that pulls a lot better than the 4.8L Express. Rating is 8,300 lbs.

Sailboats have heavy keels and are up in the windstream, so they can be a hassle to tow. This is just under 6,000 lbs. Dragged it back from a Ontario.

We like the gage package with coolant temp, ammeter, and oil pressure. The console display also has transmission temp and actual tire pressure in each tire. And a ull-size spare.

My Best Beverly Hillbillies moment...trip taking the tractor and new implements down to the ranch.
Trailer is a 15k 22’ tilt deck. It was actually very well balanced and it towed well.

I don’t know anything about trailers or towing....but that looks like a lot of Tractor for that trailer?

Not sure if you taped your supervisor to the fel or glued his sandals down to the deck but he is lookin a bit perturbed with you

Tractor weight is 4600 pounds. Add that much more for the loader and implements. He said it's a 15k trailer. Sounds fine to me.

Tractor is about 8500 lbs with the hoe on it. It’s plenty of trailer, but that load is close to the max.
The boy was busy playing and I made him stop and look at me.

3Lfarms. I know people hate it when it’s pointed out to you when your load isn’t secured correctly. That kid is going to fall of on the first corner. Set him in the tractor and buckle him up. He will have a blast.

Duct tape works well for small kids. Will secure them to any type of trailer. :laughing:

Thought rope was appropriate?

So today I had my new trailer behind my 17F350 cc. Trailer is a Maxxd 16,500 GVW. I believe cargo is. 12900. Had the Kubota l3700 on it . Back over the trailer tires where it should be and the back of my truck looked like I had 30k in the bed.. sagging like crazy.. pretty surprised.. I think I need to put air bags in it.

Fords have softened up the suspension to increase ride comfort. They will sag a bit. The overloads will pick up pretty quick. Worst case back the tractor up a little if you can to pull some pin weight off. You can also get a weight safe hitch and really dial in the ideal hitch weight

It's a tight fit with the mower. Have to detach the 3 point and back right up against it.

Looks like you'll have more than 15% tongue weight, unless that rotary cutter is made of lead!
