Do you think a 3/4 ton would handle that?
Indeed, it's an 843. Your looking at roughly 7,050 #'s (our New Holland LS 180 weighs in at 7,150 #'s). That particular trailer was a rental, but I estimate it weighed in at around 2000 #'s +/-. Our trailer weighs in at 2,500 #'s. So at any given time your lookin' at 9,800-10,000 #'s by the time you factor in fuel, chains, binders, tools, etc.

She pulls it with no problem, although I think it's a bit out of a 3/4 ton, SRW's league.

As it is, I always suck up a little seat fabric when some pinhead pulls out in front of me.
