That's a flatbed trailer, not a "U-Haul car hauler." I looked at those for hauling a Cub. There are two narrow rails that you drive the car on. The rest of the trailer bottom is wide open, so it's no good for a narrow front tractor. Plus, the weight limit is 5000 pounds. An M is guaranteed to weigh 6000 pounds or more. I wouldn't risk it, especially when you see how badly beat up these trailers usually are. Some of them I wouldn't trust to safely haul a bicycle, let alone a 6000lb tractor. Don't know about you, but my "heavy half" 2wd pickup is rated for 6300lbs towing. That's the weight of an M without the trailer. A trailer will add at least 2000lbs to the package. I might consider it for a short haul of < 50 miles, but not 300. Considering how they build trucks these days, I wouldn't expect to have much left after a 300 mile haul 2000+lbs over the rated GCWR.

The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
