I think you can tow whatever you want with a tractor. As long as the trailer is road legal and the tractor can stop it.

24tonnes is the maximum train weight for agricultural vehicles.

how crazy is that?? and you cant tow over 750kgs without a trailer licence on the road, madness

this is going to go all rules and regs very quickly and doom and gloom about how terrible mog owners are and stuff, but before it does mate, go for it, i think depending on mog chasis size depends on how big a trailer you can pull, it must be the right type of trailer on air brakes and it depends what you are towing if you are running on red. ok make way for the mog police:sneaky2:

and without an MOT - nuts isn't it

Hi

Yer I run it on white so should be ok and I think this is right that

A unimog can tow 27 tonnes legaly!

The trailer will have brakes so I take it that will be ok and road legal!

 

I am going to buy it! Cheers giles

the trailer needs air brakes, and a certain type of axle. and if it is a rockinger hitch or pick up hitch. any pics of the trailer??
