A few years ago I bought a 14 X 70 trailer for storage and needed to move it 6 miles. I used an IH 3788-2+2 four wheel drive tractor which weighs 18,000 pounds. First the drawbar bowed so much that I imagined it would smap at any instant.second,the 20.8 38 rear tires squatted so bad that they wrinkled the sidewalls with 25 psi in them. I did manage to creep the 6 miles with the thing,but never again.
I don't even want to think about attempting this with a 660.
I was disgusted to see that a trailer house is made of such light and flimsy material,but after that move I realized that if they were any better constructed,it would take commercial house moving equipment to move the thing.
