Notice that I did not ask "How much does a 9 ton Eager Beaver trailer WEIGH?" because I know someone would say "9 TONS! HAW HAW HAW!" :)

Okay, so what's the tare weight on a 9 ton Eager Beaver trailer? It's a tri-axle bumper pull.

I want to pull it with a 3/4 ton pickup truck, loaded with a Farmall H and a 2-bottom plow. Yes, it's a little overkill but the price is right.

The problem is, I don't want to end up with a trailer that's so HEAVY on its own that it takes up all my truck's tow capacity.

If I were to pull an axle to lighten it up and make it easier to tow, the front axle would probably be best, right?
 
I towed one that I think weighed 5000#, I had a trail king 9 ton dual tandem and it weighed 5600#. 5000-5500 sounds good. Does it have the good axles with budd wheels or are the old mobile home style axles? What are they asking for it?
 
They're asking $2000. It's got the mobile-home style axles unfortunately. That's a big turn-off...

I figured if it didn't weigh 3-4 tons on its own, I could live with the spoke wheels.
