Trailer for a 4120

KB9UDE · Jul 29, 2008

What do you all think of hauling a 4120 on a 7K trailer?? I do not want to buy another trailer but I will if needed. I am signing papers tommorow on a 4120 with 400x loader. The heaviest load would be the tractor with either the loader or RC1072 Frontier mower.

I have no problem with the 3320 on this trailer buy was not sure about the 4x20 series. Specs say 3700lbs for tractor plus ?? for loader.

Sounds pretty close to, if not over the limit. How much does the trailer weigh?

Too close to the knife edge... not worth the $2,000 it will cost you to upgrade to a 10K trailer. Or go the next step or two -- 12K or 14K trailer and have enough capacity for a 448BH and the mower!!

I do not know for sure what the trailer weighs. It is just a basic 7K car hauler. What would be a good estimate??

Wood floor or steel floor?

I bet the trailer weighs at least 2500#s.

I usually figure 4000 for the tractor and FEL.

MX-6 mower - 500lbs

2500 trailer
4500 load

That is 7000 right there. I bet you are very close to the max if not over.

Wood floor. Thanks Darin for the info.

John, Darin's numbers are real good...I've got a 7K trailer that's only 12ft long w/wood and it weighs 2000lb empty. I've had it on the scale. Be safe! Craig

I've got a 7000 lb Big Tex, wood floor 1700 lbs empty. 3700 lbs for the tractor + loader (around 1000 lbs I would guess?) would put you at or just under 7000 lbs. You should be fine.

Congrats John, hope she serves you well!! Love to see a couple of pics when you get the chance.
I think I'll be trading the 2520 in on the 3320 in the fall. 73's
