This title explains itself. I am buying a heavier duty Mo-Jack Hitch and was wondering about DUMP TRAILERS. Metal or plastic compound?
How much tongue weight can I handle and how much weight can I pull with two extra wheels on the trailer? k46 belt drive with locking Diff and 26 hp Kohler
should I remove the approx. 300-400 pound deck? It seems to act as a nice weight for traction.

Model #
Most all tractors can pull 1/2 of their own weight.

Max. Static Weight on Axle kg（lb） 306 (675)

Would it be wise to leave the deck attached for more weight ahead of the transaxle? Both for balance and increased traction. I would think towing would give the rear tires enough traction. Thanks!
Also, would the combined weight of the owner and attachments be calculated into the "pulling half it's weight" equation? I ask too many questions, sorry. Thanks!

Indigo, I would think long and hard and do a lot of reasurch on the K46 before I hauled any weight with it !
It won't take very long till it will start not pulling very well and you will be asking what can I do to fix it.
I'm not trying to bust your bubble, but if you do more than mowing with K46 it will go out on you.
Just trying to keep you from making a very expensive mistake.

That is for all weight including you and the empty trailer and so on. K46 is the bottom of the line of axles in this category.

thanks guys! I wish I would have known more about the diff transmission models, as I believe I could have paid more for a k66 instead of the k46. the hydrostatic transmissions do not seem to work well for pulling or pushing. However, the MTD I had had a small Hydro gear transmission and I hauled a large lawn roller every season and a large heavy lawn rake for extra grass clippings twice a month for 15 years and it still works great. the guy I sold it to loves it. I just need a mid- size tractor with a 3 point hitch etc. for the things I wish to do.

Thanks for the advice!

Word processing tables to not work in HTML and this information is great but almost impossible to read.
A bitof a PIA I know but try taking a screen shot of the table and then post it as a photo.

That is why I put the link to it below it.

Ooops.
Missed that.
This links not posting is a real pain.

I agree with you. Used to you could see them now its just words you have to figure out its a web address.

thanks BlazNT. I think you cannot use web links because that is considered "advertising". I have had those issues. Peace and chicken grease.

Firstly you have been posting to threads that are 6 years old.
The date is on the leftt hand side, white leters in the green stripe.

Secondly it will depend upon what softwear the host server runs.
To avoid being a vehicle for spammers , viruswear & other nasties a lot of server softwear will not allow any link, web link or email address to be included in a post.
This site has just changed hosts so some of the priviledges we had before we no longer get.
If I remember I will try to print links in a different colour but it only allows that once per post.

So basically, I am asking for a machine that does not exist. 48 inch width with aggressive turf tires, 20 inch or less turning radius without digging up the lawn during a turn, under 8 foot tall with a finishing mower that mows like a razor, yet will have a 3 point hitch, PTO, hydraulics, tons of lights, a radio and lighted dash with all the gauges , easily move snow, dirt gravel with a blade. Use a bucket to move material, pull a big rototiller, pull trucks out of the ditch, pull trees out of the ground.....and oh yeah, attach my D-9 CAT ripper tooth and dig down to bed rock and use the handy Husqvarna 12 V plug cig lighter socket to set off the dynamite in the bed rock holes I drilled using the hydraulics from my tractor to the jackhammer and drill. No Leatherman lawn tractors?
