I calculated that my tractor/ loader weighs 6,156 with no 3PH implement. Add say 1,000 lbs worst case scenario (my dad's old beast of a rotary cutter) ... & round up for other junk riding along (chain, etc.) ... so 7,250 I'll call it.
Can my un-modified '05 Nissan Titan King Cab with tow package legally/ safely tow this tractor on a suitable trailer using the factory receiver hitch & ball?
I don't currently own a trailer capable of carrying 7,250 lbs, so I'd need to get that. Nor do I know what such a trailer weighs. I just need to know if a gooseneck would be required, or if I might be able to tow the tractor + trailer with my truck, without a gooseneck?
Also, I've noticed that the 2" balls I see for sale seem to max out at 6,000 lbs capacity. Is that correct? Would a 2-5/16" ball do the trick?
Totally new to trailering a heavier load like this ... Thank you!
