My tractor weighs about 6500lbs, this includes tractor, fluids, front end loader and bucket. Any implements will push it close to 7000Lbs.
I need a new trailer as I have a 7000lb car hauler. My current trailer will haul the bare tractor and bush hog, nothing else. I only transport it once to twice a year but would like to be able to use the front end loader at my other property.
I have looked at 10K and 14K bumper hitch trailers. There seem to be nothing different about the construction except the axles and springs. The weights of the trailers are almost identical at around 3000 lbs. So it looks like the 14k would be the best option.
I also looked at goose neck 14k trailers but I have a 2008 4x4 Ford F-150 Crew Cab with the 6.5 foot bed. I think the extra weight of the goose neck would put me over weight. Another truck is out of the question as the boss will KILL me.
What would you do?
