Can Jeep Cherokee Pull My Tractor
Just for the record 9 years after this post, last year I purchased a 16' trailer and tow my JD4310 with my Jeep Cherokee. I keep the speed at or under 40mph and don't stray more than 20 miles from thee house. It is a tight fit, an 18' trailer would have been better. Check out my pickup crane purchased from northerntool. It has been useful for picking up light attachments like backblade, rock rake.

I agree proper tow vehicle would be more fun. I was trying to convince the wife that a pickup was in order. Instead we ended up with a new subaru outback  Both of my vehicles were 12 years old, the Jeep only had 45000 miles on it. If and when I ever get the $ again I will be in the market for a pickup.

Can Jeep Cherokee Pull My Tractor
Well 10 years later I can answer my own question. I hauled two loads of attachments (two trips) 350 miles to Buffalo NY with my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee rated for 6200 lbs towing. I estimate that my 16' trailer weighed 2000 lbs and attachments weighed 3000 lbs for a 5000 lb total weight. I kept the speed between 60-65 mph all the way.
Then I hauled the tractor w/loader, backhoe (5,000 lbs) plus trailer (2,000 lbs) for 7,000 lb total weight the same 350 miles on Interstate 90 at 50-60 mph with flashers on the whole way. My son now has my toys on 4 acres (I only have 1 acre after the move) but I am within striking distance.
I have new found respect for my Jeep. It has also been moving household goods up here. I have yet to move my Kawasaki Mule, lawnmower and generator. I did rent a 26' uhaul and hauled the car behind it with the same 16' trailer (uhaul wanted $400 to rent a car trailer).
It has been a while since I posted. I miss you all and hope to get back to a normal routine once this move is over. But it will take a while since my wife is a hoarder and has to mull each and every item over and hates to dispose of anything.

Hello Dennis, yes I signed up for this job because it provided reasonable hours, health insurance and just enough salary to get me by. However, as you get into any job, you find they have extra projects on the side, etc etc that they would like you to do as well!
I am working a couple of extra hours a day and it is difficult to keep up with these youngsters. It is as though the keyboard is part of their body. But for the most part weekends and nights are free.
