Towing question?

[northerner77]

All, I have a stock 19 screw and have a 2900lbs open equipment trailer that I need to tow a compact tractor, John Deere 3038 (approx. 2800lbs). I’ve been reading like crazy on towing and I think I’m over thinking all this. I’m not interested in upgrading the Raptor suspension to tow more than it’s rated numbers and haven’t purchased a WD hitch yet. Anyone tow anything like this that can shed some light on what to expect?thanks

You're going to get lots of responses that say that you will not have a problem, but you would definitely be over the factory tow rating of 5k lbs without a WDH. At the end of the day you have to decide if you're OK with that.

Posted another thread questioning something similar about towing a vehicle.

Did you end up doing it? If so, how'd it go??

Thanks much.
