This weekend I borrowed a Bobcat from a buddy. This was the first time I have pulled it since I got rid of my Cummins and I must say that this engine is strong! Obviously the suspension did not handle it like my one ton did but I was very impressed with the way the Ecoboost pulled it. The entire trailer/load weighs around 10K lbs. I know my Tundra would have struggled with it. What was most impressive to me is how you can actually lug this engine and it just pulls and pulls. I always hated running 5K rpm's in my Tundra to pull hills with a load. If I had any reservations about choosing this engine they are all gone now!

glad it handled it well! Hard to tell from the pics but kinds looks like moving it further back would have helped out with tongue weight and how it loaded the rear supsension

The majority of the weight on a skid steer is on the back side of it. Might be 1 or 2 inches too far forward, but the majority of the weight is over the trailer axles.
