4410 Draw bar capacity

[Jim Bob]

I have a 4110 4WD with loader. What would be the maximum tongue weight of a trailer that I could hitch to the belly draw bar. Any idea of a maximum weight of a trailer that this tractor could pull?

Try going to mahindrausa.com and use the 27/7 owners care link. I'm told Mahindra will respond within 24 hours. They have a 800# there also. They should be able to answer your questions.

I tried the Mahindra chat line 24/7 with one of there reps and they couldn't find the information. The person told me to contact a service manager. I have asked a coulple of dealers and they didn't know the answer either.

According to my older service manual, the 3 pt capacity at the pins is 2865 lbs. I'm sure the drawbar would be rated for a bit more than that and should cover virtually any tongue weight you would encounter.

After hurricanes Francis and Jeanne in 2004, I put a 2 5/16" ball on my 3 pt drawbar and moved many doublewide trailers onto lots in Florida. I moved quite a few 12'x52' sections. It was all my 3 pt would do to pick the tongue weight up and I had to go very slow moving them as my front wheels were off the ground alot. Had to keep a small load in the bucket to keep some steering. I was told that those doublewide halves weigh as much as 35,000 lbs. and tongue weights were around 3,000 lbs (+/-). If my 3 pt held those, I'm sure the fixed drawbar would easily handle up to those loads. As far as the tractor pulling the load, I think you could probably pull a house on axles with these tractors !! Those doublewides were terribly hard to maneuver in that sand, had to lay plywood down in most cases under the trailer wheels, they kept sinking and plowing - that was the only thing that stopped my tractor when those tires sunk more than 3 or 4 inches. You've got to remember about stopping though - be sure to keep it in 4x4 if you have any hill at all, this will give your front wheels some brakes. A heavy trailer will shove your tractor very easily, I know first hand. Lost my favorite water jug sliding down a friend's gravel driveway with my empty equip. trailer behind me - it's only 3k lbs. My jug fell off when I started bouncing around a little and the rear tire went right over it, squashed it like a ripe tomato. That could have been me.

The tongue weight for the fixed drawbar has to be at least equal to the 3pt lift capacity.

I agree with Skip that it's not about what you can pull... zero problemos there... but how much you can stop! Living on a steep hill and using the tractor to manuver my two trailers into and out of their "neighborhood friendly" storage positions (especially when the dump trailer is full) is all about brakes and stopping power.

Scott;
Glad to see your finally on line here.
I'm tickled with my 4110. Hope things are going well.

By the way... there are two of them with loaders on a certain large auction website right now... an oldie (Serial sequence number 214!!!) and a supposed 2006 (unverified - no serial number posted) with a mere 123 hours! I've made two offers on the latter so far... but obviously, my pockets aren't deep enough for something that shiny brand new.

p.s., Yep... I knew it. Yet another 2005 advertised as a 2006. They all love to subtract a year. It's a "Y10" machine... October 2005 production. Oh well. -d

Thanks Skip
That is exactly what I was going to do with it. The log cabin is 12 x 46 =4axle trailer. I was told it would weigh about 20,000 pounds. No one could tell me the tongue weight . I figured the draw bar could handle alot more the the 3pt. All I have to do is reposition it over about 10 feet on level ground.

Jim Bob - If you can actually hook-up to the drawbar and have clearance for the tongue jack, it will be alot safer and your steering won't be affected as much but I'm afraid you'll find it difficult. The drawbar is lower to the ground and then the tongue weight is going to squat your rear tires some too, the tongue jack probably won't let the tongue down far enough. That's why I had to use the swinging drawbar so I could use the 3 pt to raise/lower the tongue as needed. I suppose you could use a shop floor jack for the tongue and remove the tongue jack, this might work. Just be careful. Let us know how it goes. By the way, if I'm not mistaken tongue weights for the mobile homes are figured like other trailers, i.e. 10% of gross weight. Of course this will vary depending on what & where furniture and appliances are placed in the home.
