Can this trailer handle a B2320DT?

First I know this trailer is not ideal. It is not primarily for moving the tractor, but I'm curious if it's an option or not to just bring tractor in for service once in a while.

This trailer has a GVWR of 5000 LBS. It weighs 1420 LBS and that leaves 3589LBS capacity.

My B2320DT weighs 1433 LBS. FEL 725 LBS. I could remove FEL is need be and may have to, in order to balance it.

I'm getting it with the Landscape Gate Ramp and D hooks.

I of course would have a brake controller and equalizing hitch. I would be towing it with a 2015 Grand Cherokee Overland with V6 3.6L (rated at 6200 LBS).

So I assume if I can balance it with proper tongue weight, it should be fine?

Should be ok.

You'll be very tight on space- that trailer is 5'x10', right? I think my B2620 is around 11.5 feet long with the FEL attached. I also think the landscape ramp is bit light for your tractor.

I'd be surprised if you could get proper tongue weight -- there is not much room to move fore/aft, and with a single axle it's not going to give you a whole lot of margin for balancing. You could get lucky and find it balances OK, but that is a bit of a gamble to take.

Weight wise you'll be fine but atleast 12 ft would be nice.....
You can always put some kinda rubber on the front wall and set the bucket up there when hauling.
