Hi DJL,

Your H is about 4300# wet and the B about 4600# wet so with trailer about 6600lbs GVW. A 7000lb GVWR trailer rating would just barely cover you.

Also that's a big load for your 1/2 ton to handle. If you don't pull the load easy, your maintance cost (repairs) would be very high.

Now that's if your driving easy and no panic stops, load weight is placed correctly. Get into a problem and your maximum load will now try and eat your lunch very quickly.

Suggestion, How about a older 1-ton just to pull the trailer around. Then you could go with a GN flatbed which will pull alot easier vs a bumper pull and if set up correct could haul both tractors at the same time.
