Is the drawbar on that tractor high enough and long enough to hook up to a travel trailer? I know my Branson it would be a problem to get the tongue of the trailer that low.

3 point is the only option I would have.
Im going to double check that. It may just be easier to bring the skid steer.. At least I know that will not be any problem.

You shouldn't have any problems, but the tongue weight of the trailer will be approx. 1,100#. That must be considered when contemplating using the 3-pt hitch. You don't want to be doing any wheelies.

Some check-chains would be a good safety option if using the 3pt. A sudden stop without them could damage the 3pt

The 3PH is rated at just shy of 1500 lbs at 24” from the lift pins according to Tractordata.com. That would put your 3PH at the roughly 15% of trailer total weight, it should be doable as tongue weight is typically between 10-15% of total trailer weight. If you think it may exceed this level, go to the tractor draw bar.
My concern with lifting close to max 3PH weight would be a very light front axle.

Why I keep Two tractors. Small Yanmar is mostly just used with a FM. mower. A old ford for the heavy lifting and pulling. It would handle that task with ease!

If it picks it up, then move it. Especially on flat ground for 80’ ! Needless to say terrain is key here. If the 3ph is stressed out, then you don’t want to be going downhill, while turning the trailer. Let common sense be your guide!

Down force or Tongue weight is the only thing that will keep the 3Pt. arms down on my Yanmar. You can get into a bad situation easy. Not all tractors are like that. Single axle trailer notorious! I've dumped this one serval times.

Thanks all, I ended up just bringing the skidsteer And it was a 5 minute job. It took longer to unload and re load the machine more than anything else.
