Own a Farmall 200 that's a tricycle type, and would like to match up a trailer for it. Looking around for awhile just window shopping and learning. Now I would like to ask this community of their advice!
[i:c72878f0ed]I want to load the tractor + implement (disc ie), and transport to a friend's property occasionally. Also would like to take to my local fair once a year. And any other use in the future acquiring. ;-)[/i:c72878f0ed]
From what I can figure is I would need a tandem axle deckover. Maybe around 8 x 16 at the smallest. How will I load with only two ramps? Make a third or find trailer with heavy gate?
Tow vehicle is a '96 Ford Bronco with 302 v8. Estimated vehicle weight is 4,587 (GVWR 6,050). From my figuring... I have a GCWR of 11,500 lbs. So with a typical trailer I should have about 4,000+ of towable cargo?
The other part of my post is about [b:c72878f0ed]safety[/b:c72878f0ed]. Read about people getting killed trying to load tractors, and using them too. My Dad's boss died in a roll over. What are the best methods to load & unload tractors? Any other advice welcome!
