towing a TO35 with p/u trk


It's not how fast you can go, it's how fast you can stop.

I predict that as you approach 60 mph, your rear tires will start to stretch
and go out of round and out of balance. They may shed the tread like you
see along freeways. The vibrations might shake your pickup so much that the
truck tires will lose adhesion to the pavement, and you may not be able to
stop without jack-knifing. If you should hit a 2x4 laying on the road, it
might flip over. Rail-road crossings.

When they were circle-racing tractors, they used aircraft
tires on the back wheels.
 
Due to bounce and uneven-ness of the rear tires, I would not go faster than the tractor will drive in high gear. If it has turf tires, probably that would be much better, but I assume it doesn't.
 
we pulled our to-20 20 miles to some land we rented all the time and 35 was about the max had a tow bar on the front axle just like a car. never had any problems. tractor will do 23 MPH on its own
 
steve,
by the time you pull the tractor a few times on the hard surface at those speeds, you will be buying a set of rear tires.

for the price of a set of rear tires, just bought a set for my TO35 with tubes and changing fluid, it was $900

for $900 I believe you can find a decent usable 4 wheel trailer that will haul the tractor,
you really need a brake kit for the trailer hauling that much weight,
would be much safer,
I bought this trailer for $600, but later added a new set of 8 ply tires. Then you will have the trailer for other jobs and for your neighbors to be asking to borrow it,


just my two cents.

A guy I know towed his TO30 8 miles with a tow bar he welded/make

He keep it under 25.All back roads. I think my friend still has the tow bar if you need it.
