I'll be hauling a NH T2320 from ND to NC, roughly 1450 miles, with a 2013 Crew Cab F-150 4x4 Eco with the Max Tow and 3.73 gears. I'm looking at picking up a WD hitch to help distribute the weight and I was wondering if there is anything that maybe I'm not thinking about to help make this move succesful. The fun part will be coming down I-77 through WV, VA, and NC mountains.
Weight of Tractor, Loader, and rotary cutter is around 6,100 .lbs according to NH.
Weight of trailer is roughly 3,000 .lbs according to the guy at Sunbelt rentals.
According to Ford, I'm good for 11,100 .lbs with my truck combination.
Here's a picture of when the dealer delivered the tractor to the farm in ND back in 09. I was trying to remember if the pickup was a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton that the dealer had. Looking at the picture I can't really tell. Nothing like playing in the snow with a new toy.
Here's a picture of my truck at the Ford dealership when I picked it up back in Aug. It was hard to find an Eco 4x4 with Max Tow, 3.73 gears and 157" wheelbase at the time. I had to drive to Alexandria, VA which is roughly 5 hours from here to pick it up when I bought it.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Greg
