I was wondering for the trailers sake about how much the tractor w/ the loader and blade weigh? It all runs and works great and was wondering what it would sell for if I had to sell it? Thank you ps. I might need one new tire for the rear, what size are those? [Reply]   [Send Email]

In Australia trailers and trucks are regularly pullled over for inspection and to be weighed. The fines here are very expensive - I think $1,000 per tonne (2,250 pounds) or part thereof. My Toyota Landcruiser Prado and factory tow bar is limited to 750 kg (1,650 pound) down load on the tow ball; 2,500 kg double axle trailer plus load weight (5,500 pound); I forget the individual wheel loadings and the two independent tie downs must have a breaking strains greater than double the load. Double axle trailers must have their own braking systems, electric, pneumatic or over-ride.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I transport my TEA20 on a double axle trailer behind my Toyota 4WD with no problems. Rear tyres were originally 10.00 x 28 which I think is now an 11.2 x 28 in modern tyre sizes. Check the tyre size on the other side - do not mis-match tyre sizes/circumferences. This post was edited by Bob (Aust) at 17:38:38 10/20/09.   [Reply]   [No Email]

The TO 20 weighs 2760 with out weight in the tires or fuel. I would think if you have a tandem axle trailer (not snowmobile type) you should probably be alright. If you have a single axle I wouldn't put my tractor on it. Richard   [Reply]   [Send Email]
