Default Can I tow it?
I bought me a new tractor last weekend and need to haul it about 150 miles through the Ozarks.
What do ya think? Should be no problem with a WDH

I wouldn't tow it. Try loading it in the bed and see how that does.

I think if you added a trailer, the weight might be too much. Just tie some tow straps to it and drag it home.

Now we're talking. No tongue weight, no need for trailer brakes. We might just have a winner here.
