Towing capacities of a 86hp tractor.

Recommended Posts

Looking at various trailer options for my SAME Dorado 86 tractor. Im wondering what sort of weights an 86hp tractor weighing 3.5ton will safely handle on the road?

 

The tractor has excellent disc braking on all 4 wheels and will stop on a sixpence and of course the trailer would have braking too. I will be towing up and down dale so to speak so don't want to a) kill the tractor and b)kill myself or anyone else by being pushed about by too large a trailer.

 

Any thoughts? Thanks.

You should tow a fare bit ....

 

Well here is a example of a Me David Brown 995 which is 64hp and we had to load these wheat bales asap before the kids set fire to field .....1100 bales and trailer was a 60FT KING LOW LOADER weighing 6 tons empty with me home made dolly attached .

I was still at school in this picture and what fun it was ,i choose 3rd HS GEAR AND DIFF LOCK and CAINED it across the 50acre field back to farm :001_smile:

24 will be the gross train is it not? My 95hp valtra would tow 10 ton ok, your trailer brakes need to be in good order or you will knacker the brakes on the tractor. A 5x2m grain trailer will weigh about 3 ton empty and you will be able to fill that with wood or chip and be fine on weight.

I agree Jon, on the Same website they show a picture of my tractor towing a bale trailer with at least 18 round bales on, which would probably be 10ton plus- might be fine shunting it around a farm but no way id go on the road with that kind of weight.

 

HI MATTHEW just go out with 6tons on a good trailer matthew and see how you go you should fine on that look on you tube you will have a :lol:thanks jon :thumbup:

Yes 24 ton is GTW. tractor only weighs 3.5t:laugh1:. Im looking at various multipurpose dump trailers so I can tow my digger to the job plus all its attachments and use the trailer on site. I always had this plan with my 95hp Zetor which pulled like a train, but lack of adequate brakes prevented this. (typical zetor).

 

Iveco kid- that's some serious pulling:thumbup1:
