Drawbar pull weight

[jla1257 2]

I searched old posts for any information about the max drawbar pull weight for various Wheel Horse tractors, but was unable to find much information. What I did gather is that pulling weight with a slot to drawbar adapter can cause damage; so it is better to use a drawbar. I will probably set up a drawbar pull test for exact numbers specific to my 1257, but out of curiosity I have the following question. How much weight do you pull around with your Wheel Horses on trailers and with what model?

I don't know the amount of tongue weight that can be applied to the hitch, but I have pulled logs with a diameter of 10" and a length of 10 to 12'. I know that has to weight more than 600 lbs.

I have a B-100 8 speed, 10hp

I have towed 1.5 tons on a 6 x 12 trailer full of shingles with a 1054a.

WOW!! 1.5 tons of shingles plus another 300-400 pounds for the trailer...about 3400 pounds with a 10hp Kohler. Impressive.

Used to pull the family travel trailer that was approximately 28 feet long with a C-85

Jeff,

I did not know I have that much on there until I went to the dump and got weighed. The front of that tractor was very light and that drum brake needed to be stood on to stop.

LOL it always amazes me how much work the body can do without knowing it. I have had several trips to the dump with much more weight than what I thought.
