If a person is stupid enough to do that they should stay away from tractors.
Find and use an old snowmobile trailerHey Gang,
Looking for a small utility trailer for my BX1880.
Been looking at some for ATV's and riding lawnmowers as they seem to be the size and price I want. Just for light duty landscaping etc.
I have found this one to be interesting, seems to be rebranded by numerous companies, but all from the same manufacturer. Oh yea, I'm in Canada so prices are insulting and supply is often limited...

Lawn tractor carts make your landscaping chores much easier! Attach the Cub Cadet Hauler 19B40026100 to a riding mower or zero turn mower and haul up to 10 cu. ft or 800 lbs. of material. Financing available.www.cubcadet.ca
So I am curious has anyone used anything like this on there BX series and if so, any pro's or con's?
That's a really cool and stout trailer that looks to be very well thought out. Nice job on designing and building it.
My property is mostly flat with only one notable "hill" which I don't plan on stopping on under any circumstances..
Noooooo! We want people like that to use heavy machinery. Preferably before they breed.
Yes, this build I did probably 20 years ago and was quite involved. I was originally thinking that I could use the hydraulics that are on the tractor but soon realized that they were not going to be enough. I ended up building a power unit to go under the tractor that would replace the mower deck. The only issue is that the caster wheels hang down a bit too far, so I plan on removing them and just use a dolly instead for installation onto the tractor. These pictures are from the construction stage before the hoses were all connected. Works great with the speed of that of a dump truck. It was nice to see that my math worked out. I last used it when digging a trench in my lawn to put our power line underground. Dumped earth from the backhoe bucket into trailer and then dumped it in the woods. After job was done the only area requiring repair was the actual trench instead of the whole lawn.That's a really cool and stout trailer that looks to be very well thought out.

All the time.
I have both single axle and tandem axle dump trailers but they're not ideal behind the MX or M. I have a small aluminum trailer that's good behind both tractors with the much longer tongue, but it doesn't dump. I'd love a trailer like the one @Donystoy built, but maybe a little bigger.
Not familiar with tractors being rated for towing like an F150 or Silverado. I'd figure that you were within towing capacity up until you lost traction.
The owner's manual lists towing capacity for our tractors (from the draw bar) as well as implement weight capacity.Not familiar with tractors being rated for towing like an F150 or Silverado. I'd figure that you were within towing capacity up until you lost traction.
