I have a dumb question, but I would like to know or at least have an idea. We are hosting a picnic later today and plan on taking kids and adults on a hay wagon ride in the country here with the Kioti 45S. I was just wondering what would be the safe towing capacity. Never have really thought about it before. I'm guessing about 10 to 15 people per wagon? Any thoughts or advice? I already have the loader off now. I really don't know if I should put it back on or not.

I think the more pertinent question is the safe stopping distance. If you're on level ground I don't think you'd have a problem. If you're on hilly terrian......not sure.

Donny, I've been on many wagon rides (on basically level or gently rolling ground) where old antique tractors were used to tow 2 wagons with each wagon having roughly 15 people. I don't think you will have any problem with 15 to 20 people, have fun and enjoy the day.

Everything went fine. Neighbor down the street brought his Oliver 1755 up with a wagon. We took everybody for a nice hour long ride. Great time and great weather. Kids seemed to love it. Including this big kid:D Tractor pulled fine. One hill put me back to 2nd gear. Mostly ran in 4th or 3rd. Thanks for the replies.
