Played in the woods yesterday.
Used two toys yesterday to get firewood for next season drug out. Ranger did pretty well towing somewere between 3500 and 4000 lbs. Didnt forget it was there though. Even on the flat it was in overdrive though, but it fought to maintain speed on little hills I pushed the Od button to keep revs up. Couple hills second was all it would do. If I was going farther I wouldve used the bigger truck. More hitch weight wouldve helped the blade was taking to much weight off the tongue. Tractor's tires are loaded, it ll pull a whole tree most of the time.

Tractor is tires are against the front it wouldnt go on facing forwards, blade wont go in the trailer. I wanted the blade on to push trees around with and front end protection in the woods.

Thanks guys. The blade goes clear to the rear hitch and weights 500 Lbs. putting in the bed is not a option. Its all 1/4 inch plate all the way back. Good Idea though.
The Tractor is an 1982 with 2000 hours on it. My dad has taken good care of it. Its a Yanmar diesel so its just broke in.

In my owners manual with 4.10 gears which is what I have it says itll pull 5500. hahahahah. I would never try it thats for sure. The 750 was a big enough load for me and the Ranger and its brakes. I only took the tractor 5 miles from home if I was going farther I would have taken the F150. Its rated to tow 7500 but I ve towed right around 8000 with it alot farther and it felt very comfortable trailer brakes make all the difference though.
