3016 Weight With FEL and Backhoe

[Kryton619]

I am starting to look for a trailer to tow my 3016. Does anyone happen to know the weight with a FEL and backhoe mounted?

According to Tractordata about 4500 for everything. The bare tractor weighs 2459 for the HST, and another 1230 for the backhoe, and loader is 780. Loaded tires would make a difference as well, up to 250lbs each.

Thanks for the info....would you recommend a trailer with a 5000 lb capacity, or would it be safer purchasing a 7000 lb trailer?

Gotta watch out. A 5k trailer is generally 5k total on the axles. If the frame and deck weighs more than 500lbs, you'd be overloaded. I'd personally get a larger trailer than is required "by the numbers".
