Pony weight

Tractordata lists the shipping weight of a Pony at just shy of 1500lbs.

I've got a single axle flatbed rated at 2990 GVWR that I haul a Cub around with frequently, with 300lb of wheel weights and a sickle mower.

There's a Pony I might be bringing home. It doesn't have weights or implements or anything, just a bare tractor.

Shouldn't be a problem, right?
 
Years ago, I brought mine home in the back of my full size F-250. Didnt have the trailer and opportunity knocked. Slow and easy, you should be ok.
 
One time I went to the dunp with my trailer, told the dumpmaster I just wanted the trailer itself weighed, so at a time of day when things are slow, I put the jack down on the scale, unhitched and drove off straight, when she signaled, I backed straight onto the ball and got it out without being in anyone's way. My 7000 lb trailer weighs 1300 equipt, ramps, spare and with the box I keep chains, straps and stuff in, so what ever I bring home has to be less than 5700, which is heavy in my book.
So if your trailer is rated for say- 3000, and weighs ? 8 or 900, you have lots of 'legal' elbowroom. But yeah, a MH pony doesn't weigh anymore than a real pony, which, if it can fit in the back of a 3/4 ton pick up...
 
The last load that I came home with the truck, trailer and payload grossed out at 21890. No problem...Duramax loves it.
 
The 1500 lbs weight was before fluids, weights and implements were added. If you normally tow a Farmall Cub, I see no problem.
I ended up just having an equipment company move mine, I would have had to rent.. so it was cheaper that way for me.
