I'm trying to figure out the weight of a tractor/loader/hoe I've got parked in northern Michigan. I need a way of moving it between two properties I own about 15 miles apart. All flat roads, i.e. no big hills like here in NY. I've got a Ford F250 diesel truck also parked up there. Has a gooseneck, ball, and pintle hitch on it.
I've got a chance to buy a 20' trailer cheap with dual Dexter 6000 lb. axles. I'm assuming it's got a safe load capacity around 9000 lbs.
The tractor is an International Harvester 3414 with loader, 3121 hoe on the rear, AND a stack of 8 counterweights in front.
I know that the tractor and front loader weighs around 5200 lbs. Rear 3121 backhoe must be around 3200 lbs. But what do those front weights weigh? Anybody know? Has a weight-box on front with 8 counterweights. Each weight is IH part # 381216R1.
I don't mind overloading this trailer a bit since it's a short, slow-speed trip with no hills - but I don't want to push things too far. I wouldn't dare try it at home in these NY hills with a 3/4 ton truck.
Here at home I've got a Deere 300B loader-backhoe that looks similar in size to the IH. But my Deere weighs 11,000 lbs. If the IH weighs anywhere near that much, I'm not going to chance it. Front counterweight on the Deere is one piece and weighs 574 lbs.

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
