Regarding your trailer - their are a lot of variables. Home Depot specials are several hundred lbs to 2,500 GVW. Heavy duty name brand dual axle 16' trailers with brakes start at 7,000# then go to 9,999# and some have 12,000# trailers. No brakes and it dropps onto the 2,000 - 3,000# range. Goosenecks become popular at just over 10,000#. You also have driver license issues at 10,000# that has been the subject of much debate.

Remember it's not what you can pull but what you can stop.

Before I sold it I would transport my 686 on a 9,998# pumper pull pipe trailer - it had 6,000# axles and 15" radial tires with the empty weight aroung 1,900# and most important all 4 wheels had electric brakes. I tied it down with grade 70 transport chain - 4 points and binders on the front 2. I figure the capacity of the trailer was about 8,000# and the tractor was just over 7,000#'s that went to 8,000# with the plow.

If I added a plow, front weights and fluid in the rear tires I'd be over capacity and NOT SAFE. So I didn't add fluid and took off the front weights when transporting

I think an M is around 5,000# to 6,000# and the Ford 801 less.

Take a look at your registration to determine the weight you can safely pull.

One last comment most trailers are 78" wide and most tractors are setup for 34" rows that means the width from outside tire to ourside tire is 80+" for 12 inch tires. You might need to move in the tires to 30" row spacing (72" overall width)to get it on your trailer unless it's a deckover.

Hope this helps

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
