Loader Weight of the 305 loader system

JT on a JD · Nov 4, 2012

I know this is the owner operating thread, I'm looking to buy a trailer, but I want it to have enough capacity... I'm considering an 18 foot dual axle, I should be able to rest the shredder on the trailer bed and let the trailing wheel hang over the back, putting the loader at the front edge of the trailer bed so it should fit but here's the John Deere specific question:

I have a 3032e (111 inches) that weighs 2175 lbs, a shredder (101 inches) that weighs 590 lbs, and a 305 loader that I have no idea about...its not just the bucket, but the arms, hoses, and all that becomes a 305 loader system. How much does the complete 305 loader system weigh?

if there are any specific recommendations about a trailer / ramps for this combination, I'm listening... thanks!

Just a guess but I'd say around 600-800lbs for the whole loader. A 7,000-8,000lb trailer should handle it fine, however the price difference to go to a 10,000lb and 20' long isn't much. That combo would provide more flexibility in the future.
