Buying a trailer

This is a cross post from the JD Owner/Buyer forum. Should have gone here first maybe.

We are looking to buy a trailer for our 1990 JD 1070. It has a model 80 loader on it. What weight requirements do you recommend. I've read your post and it is full of info but wanted to make sure it applied to our tractor as well.

Thanks for the help.
Leslie

Buying a trailer

We know the tractor weighs 3000 according to the specs but do not know the loader weigh. The loader is a model JD 80. The tractor and loader are each 5' wide.

Wow, that is good info about the 10,000 gross weight. We don't want to get CDL's.

We will try to find out how much the loader weighs.

Thanks

Leslie

Buying a trailer

I'll pass this info along to hubby.

We have a 97 Ram 4 x 4 with the heavy duty towing package on it so it should handle the load just fine on a trailer like Dana has. We have just purchased a Bush Hog finish mower that would also fit if we needed it to. We have a permanent topper on the truck (to heavy to take on and off) so a goose neck would not work for us.

Probably wouldn't be hauling much. Only to the shop for necessary things. Hopefully not many.

We'll check out some trailer places around here and see what we can find.

Thanks for all the info. I'll post back when we get one.

Peters, Good luck with your new Ram. Watch out for Transmission problems though.

Leslie
