I would like to know how much does a RC 70 weigh and how much does an RC 60 or RC 66 weigh?

Can any of these be safely hauled on a tandem axle trailer of the type used to haul a car?

Can it be pulled with a V8 SUV?

I frequently pull RC 70 & model 80 Olivers on a 18 foot tandem axle with my pickup. I strongly recommend using an equalizer hitch, electric brakes and sway bar control. Even with about 5,000 lbs. of Oliver 80 riding back there, the unit is very stable in violent cross winds and on pathetic Missouri roads.
Have fun!
PS - Don't rely on a bumper-style hitch mount

Your looking at 2 ton at the most. A 70 Oliver wieghs 3900. I've pulled 4900 or more (Oliver 80's) no prob with my 96 ford f-150 with a 302 (5.0) v-8. with a 5 ton car trailer. Depends on how far you want to go. I suggest trailer brakes, takes me a while to slow down. I hit a german shepard at 60mph, darn near fliped the trailer and it bent my rear bumper back pretty good.Had an Oliver 80 on that time too. Got trailer brakes now, stops alot quicker.

Trial and error method of a lesson learned was good advice to pass on.Unfortunate for the dog, but fortunate for you that it wasn't a child or another vehicle.Chances taken are just that, chances.
