my ride on is a 14.5hp mtd with towbar i have a trailer which weighs 40kg it can carry 500lb could the mower cope with it fully loaded?
Five hundred pounds is five hundred pounds, regardless of the commodity. I'd start out at a half or third of that number and see how things go. Watch out for any big hills, especially going down. Also, any rough spots on your journey that can load/unload your drivetrain suddenly. Just my $.02.
You might be absolutely right about that.:biggrin: An 80 or 88 lb. trailer probably doesn't have a very big deck.
