JUST HOW HEAVY AM I?

I am needing to start hauling my DB885 around. I already know my Ford F250 with the 6cyl won't do it, so I want to know what truck I need to look for basically. My question is, just how heavy is it? I have calcium in both rears, as well as weights in each rear rim. I didn't put the weights in, they were there when I got the tractor so I have no idea what they weigh, they are full circle and look to be about 2 inches thick. My trailer is a 16foot tandem axle with brakes on one axle, electric brakes. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you're concerned about the weight of the 885, and you don't need the fluid in the tires or wheel weights, then remove them. That should bring the weight down to less than 3000 pounds. Your present truck and trailer should handle that with ease.

A F250 with a 300 I6 will pull 2 885's with room to spare, maybe not fast but it will do it safely if the trailer is a gooseneck. Not sure I would want to pull any tractor off the back of any truck smaller than a dump truck. Now the trailer may not be heavy enough. I'd guess (which is all any of us can do as we dont know tire size, % fill, or pounds of CaCl dissolved in each) Tractor should be running in the 8000 pound range give or take a thousand. If this is a 16' bumper hitch with 3500# axles you are short on axle weight. If it is a 16' gooseneck with 2-7000# axles you've got trailer to spare. I use a 2500 Dodge with a 24vI-6 cummins and a 20+4 gooseneck with 2-7500# axles. but I started farming with an F150 and a 300 I6 pulling the same trailer with 990 and 1210 Case/DB's on it on long hauls (first year out I had 65 miles between the furthest farms I was renting).
