I hope this is the right forum for this question. I have a 2000 Kubota BX1800D with the 60" MMM deck option. How much does this combination weigh when hauling it? I use a Triton aluminum utility trailer 64"x10' that is rated at 2200# GVWR. The trailer weighs 410# so that leaves me with 1,790 lbs of cargo weight. Am I overloading this trailer when I haul my tractor? It seems like the whole trailer and the ramps bend down from the axle back as I slowly drive up the ramps. Is this normal or am I going to break something and get hurt? :eek:

without loaded tires, I am gonna say your machine weighs about 900-1000 pounds with MMM - adds another 235.

When I load my BX25D (heavier) I place homemaid 2x10 blocks under the frame to allow it not to pivot on the axles. Trailer drops about an inch or so.



I think you are fine - and are not overloaded - make sure you find that sweet spot as to where it is located over the axle, today I hauled my B7100 - same situation as you - little smaller trailer, and I had it too much forward, the harmonics was out of whack if you know what I mean. Also make sure you are tied down well too!:D:)

My BX2360 (just a little bigger) with Fel 60" mower deck weighs a little under 1,700lbs. That is what my dealer told me. So you will be fine.
