ford 960 front weight

grandpa Love · Feb 3, 2017

Want to buy or build a 3rd ramp for gooseneck trailer to make loading tractor easier. How much does front of a 960 weigh? Tsc had some ramps on close out but wasn't sure if they were strong enough. Rated for 1000 lbs.

I pull my 950 in the 3500 lb class and I'm a little shy of 200 lbs. So I would say 3300/3400 lbs

Sorry, misread thought you wanted total weight. For loading on my traler,narrow front, middle ramp just use a cut down piece of Mason plank with a bent piece of steel at the end. I normally throw a couple of wood block under it for support just in case.

I've been using 2 wood 2x10's about 5ft long. Stacked em, Screwed em together. Works good. Looks janky. Lol

Cannot answer your question directly but I expect that the 1000 lb. ramps will work fine if you stack blocks of wood or perhaps a concrete block beneath the ramp in the center of the span to distribute the load and use common sense.

tractordata claims the entire tractor weight 3626 lbs. with all fluids in it. Add the driver's weight to that to get the total unless you'll be winching it on and off the trailer. I'm guessing with no other weight on the tractor that at least 1400 lbs. would be on the front wheels.
