Question for all you tractor haulers out there. I have a David Brown 880 selectmatic w/front end loader. I need to transport this tractor about 350 miles. I own a tandum axle trailer w/ 3500 lb axles,brakes and D rated tires. Trailer wieght 1800 lbs. I also am handicapped with a chevy 1/2 ton truck w/ 350 auto. Is this too much load for this trailer and truck? Any opinion would be appreciated. I will take these only as opinions. I hold no one responsible for my actions. Thanks for the help.

I sold a Massey 50 to a fellow who hauled it 110 miles behind a Toyota Tacoma 2 wd p/u with a 4 cyl engine. The trailer had no brakes. I worried about him doing it as he had to go through several good size hills to get home.

880 should only weigh about 4500 pounds. Guess 1000 lbs. for the loader, that's 5500 lbs. + 1800 for the trailer. Total 7300 lbs. No problem for the trailer with those tires. No problem for the truck if your hitch is sufficient.

I agree it should be no problem. I have seen people do worse.
