Hauling Sub-Compact.

[nikerret]

I wouldn’t haul my BX on less than the 7k GVWR car trailer. It only has brakes on one axle, which sucks, but otherwise it’s much more trailer than required. I prefer to be well within the envelope, not smashing out of it, when possible. I also prefer to not have one tire, on each side. On the car trailer, it’s a cakewalk. In my dump trailer, it’s even better.

My first truck was a 1500 Silverado. It was okay, but had the wrong rear axle ratio. My dually is a much better puller, though unnecessary, for a SCUT.

7k, 18 ft. car hauler with brakes on both axles (towed with my F150) for my BX25. Tows nice!

Tractor doesn’t like it, though, ‘cause the trailer is green!

All this wondering, and they delivered it no extra charge.

It tows just fine.
I see now what the confusion was, you guys thought I wanted to tow the tractor in that trailer. Ha!

fill that trailer enough, and it will tow the tractor for you, whether you want it to or not.

So one can't do either other?

Just make sure you load the tongue heavier than the tail.

lol it won't change anything when all 4 tires are locked up, and your still moving. learned there was limit to my atv's stopping capability

Naw, that means there’s not enough weight on the tractor/tongue and you don’t have the Traction to stop.
Now if you got the brake pedal mashed, and the weight/traction can still overpower the brakes and turn the tires, that’s a different problem.
Similar to pulling. Many times you have the horsepower, but not the traction.
