finally broke down an bought a trailer. Thought I would share it with you. Towed this 150 miles each way, with altitude gain of 5000 feet. 2001 Tundra did a good job. Was worried I might need to buy a new truck to go with the trailer, but won't be necessary.

That is an insanely nice trailer!

Also, have a quick question, that looks like a B3030 with the Woods Hoe. Also it looks like you have a hydraulic grapple on the loader. How and where are the hydraulics tapped in for the aux control for the grapple? Do you have any pictures of where the pressure supply is for it? I have been reading some threads about people adding hydraulic spool valves, etc in a "DIY" manner, but the block that supplies the loader on my new B3030 does not match what other people are showing on their other model tractors!

Feel free to PM me or email me any info or details if you don't want to clutter the thread!

Thanks,
Steve

Very nice Friver!;)

That aluminum trailer must weigh less then 1500 lbs no? Your TLB combo weighs in at 4000 lbs or so. How much towing capacity does the Tundra have?

I have a B7800 and plan to buy a BH75 BH. I have a 2005 Tacoma that I will probably have to upgrade if I want to trailer it :(

What's in the back of the truck ... A woods snow blower? Which gas station did not knock over to pay for all of this?

(The sad part is that at today's gas prices, you would only have to collect the dollars from a handful of drivers right after they open!)

Thanks for compliments, spent a lot of time putting together what I thought would work best for me.
Here is a picture taken with my cell phone that shows the whole thing.


I bought the tractor a year and a half ago, but the trailer is new.
The grapple runs off a diverter tapped into the bucket hydraulics. This works great for me. I had a few acres of pine trees to clear and grapple saved the day (or year). It didn't work as well with the tooth bar off. In the picture the tooth bar is off because I had to use the bucket for snow removal - and we had a ton of snow.
Kudos to the observant guy who noticed the Woods snowblower in the back of the pickup. After using the bucket for snow removal last winter, I vowed not to do that again. I bought the snowblower now because i thought by the time Sept/Oct rolls around my memory would have faded some and I may have decided to go another year with out it.
The trailer comes in at 1350 lbs. The tundra is rated for 7100 lbs. I was looking at a featherlite trailer, but the price was significantly higher than the Aluma. The specs for the trailer are at the Aluma Website, the trailer is model #8218. The hitch is a Robin quick fit hitch.
I have a few 4-wheelers and a Polaris Ranger, so when not in use with the Kubota, the trailer can also pack my toys.

As I mentioned earlier, I haven't used the trailer but twice, but it and the Tundra worked fine. We have some pretty steep inclines getting over the Cascades, and the truck pulled and handled it well.
