I am going to take my L2250 for a 5 hour drive tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone knew the axle weights for this tractor. I know it isn't absolutely critical I put it on the trailer in just the exact spot, but I would like to be close.

I don't know the answer but others will. They will need to know other things though.
Any added weight, loaded tires, front loader, cab. They will all effect balance.

Good thought.
This is a "no extra" L2250. No weight added weight on or in the wheels, no loader, no cab just the standard oil and fuel weight.

It's more important how you position it on the trailer than what the front/rear weight split is on the tractor. For good towing you need to have a load on the trailer tongue (otherwise it will sway and braking performance and handling of your truck will suffer). Pull the tractor forward on the trailer 'till the bumper sags a little below the normal unloaded height but not so much that you use up more than about 1/3 of your travel in the suspension. RC
ALWAYS be tongue heavy. If you can't get enough weight on the tongue to keep it from swaying, you don't have enough truck. I have a 1993 Chevy one ton, flat bed with dual wheels that I don't use that often. The plates and insurance aren't that much. I can't stand to pull a trailer without the dual wheels on the truck. It comes in handy for picking up tractors or whatever else I might acquire. With scrap prices up it has made a little money.
