IL | A 2615 bush hog is 18ft from pin hole to furthest point of the tires when lowered. A 4430 is 14ft without a loader. Add 4-5ft for loader and bucket is 18-19ft. I'll call it 36ft total so 36ft of actual deck at minimum.
Problem is weight distribution. Would need to be a spread tandem dually or triple axle single wheel trailer to distribute the load with a single axle tow rig.
We're talking about a 16,000+ pound tractor. Figuring 12,000 of tractor and fuel, 1000+ for loader, and I'm assuming fluid in the rear tires if it has a loader. Add in a 6,000 pound mower and that's 22,000 pounds combined. A 25,000 pound gvwr gooseneck trailer is going to weight roughly 8,000 pounds. So 22+8 is 30,000 pounds. My f350 2wd regular cab diesel weighs 8,000. Add it all together and you're around 38,000 pounds. Gcwr is 32,900 on a 2024 dually tonner.
No bucket on the tractor, fuel about empty, and no fluid in the rears would put it closer to 35,000. Short hauls on state roads in rural Texas I'd probably go for it. In Illinois I'd never chance it. | |
