Max tongue weight for rear hitch

[jawz41 0]

Would like to pull a 27 foot camping trailer with a 1988 312-8 into a building with a slight grade. Any experience with this? I do not want to break the hitch/rearend.

I'd worry more about stopping it!!!!!

I don't think the camper has that much tongue weight, does it?

i pulled a 1958 mallard 21 ft camper about 50 ft up a slight grade with my 1967 1057 and didnt have any problems...

just pulled the front tires off the ground for about 2 ft before i seen i was in 2nd gear...

hope this helps... :woohoo:

The tractor should pull it most anywhere as said above stopping is the problem. I was pulling a 1500 lb. trailer up a 20 some degree grade with my C-120. It pulled up the grade, but when I stopped on that grade it drug the tractor backward with the brakes locked. Not Fun!

Sounds dangerous to me.

What's this camper weigh, and what's the tongue weight? What's a "slight" grade? You pulling it up or down into the building? And how far?

Be careful, whatever you decide!

And :woohoo:

I'd advise against it. Solely out of concern for your safety.

However, if you're going to disregard or warnings. Make sure the breakaway for the trailer brakes works. Do the trailer brakes work? Use that as an oh s@@t button.
