Mowing a 14x80 mobile home with a DK55... YES!

[quadmaster50]

My neighbor is building a new house and been living in a old trailer and needed it moved, They had a dump truck hooked to it and a 2wd 70HP international on the back pulling and still couldn't move it... Well, I offered to try with my little Kioti and it moved it without even spinning a single tire.... Trailer was still full of all their stuff also....
Im impressed with the little things!!

I was expecting a photo of a mangled one after backing your brush hog into it.

Ha! I was expecting some sort of homemade, 'Redneck Engineered', 3PH, multi-head, weed-whacker set up. :laughing:

Lol quadmaster50 in some circles the title would be called click bait, I was ready to see you bush hogging a trailer. Never the less nice to see you beat out the international.

I am currently looking at the NX5510 and noticed (in the shop manual) the towing spec as 9,500 lbs. I'm going to be getting a dump trailer and was going to be using my truck to tow it just in my immediate neighborhood to move a bunch of material. I'm now thinking that if I get the tractor I could just use it: it'll be loading the trailer, as well as spreading the material around.

Yeah, impressive!

On flat ground the towing capacity is anything it can move.

And that would be solid ground!:thumbsup: (I've got flat ground that you can readily get stuck in)

The towing capacity is still anything you can move. It's just a lot less.

Now that's funny.

Yup. (I've moved massive tree trunks with my dinky B7800- spinning them.)

Just found it interesting that the manufacturer's specs were that high. Towing specs are generally based on the expected operational environments that the equipment will be operated in.
