Anyone know how long of trailer that you would be able to haul a 4430 with loader and a folded 15 foot pull type bush hog? This would be the longest use I would have for it consistently. I currently do not have the bush hog to measure.
Just mentally thinking. I have a 32’ GNFB I abuse. How do you unload a pull type brush hog? I a picturing a batwing mower? How do you back that on, off the ramps? A loading dock is bad enough. I THINK I would use loader to set it on front of my trailer? Except my loader can’t dead lift 6000 lbs. maybe you have a rough ground fork lift? Once on, if hitch to back pulling off should be easy. But pulling on? Lots of weight I think on truck..
So it’s set 4’ from front of trailer? *just mentally estimating* the loader driven on forward. See how it looks, feels.
With loader I could even go OVER brush hog if needed. Just need braces. Weight distribution my biggest concern.
It might be your rig can better be backed on?
If you can back up ramps w/brush hog. I would like to see video of that. Maybe with rear wheels it’s not that bad? I would try it. If not using loader might be best? Easy to change angle on bucket as needed while driving forward? Just get it on trailer, line up, move back. If goes to side chain to center, continue?
You are going to be max weights, likely over. Tandem 12k axles? I recall a 4020 & NH 852? Round baler on a flatbed. Kid drove it on to *help dad*. It took hours to get it off. But shorter distance to trailer tires. *to me faster response to inpiputs*
What's hard about backing something on or off a trailer? Or am I misunderstanding your statement?
