quite manly.

how heavy y'think this is?

[Pmoreau]

Trailer its self has got to be 2500lb+. And I dont see any rear spring sag.

[1979J10]

Guessing 5-6000 lbs

I am guessing 1500-2000 for trailer and 4000 for the bobcat. We used to haul a cattle trailer behind our J10 and would have about 8000lbs behind us. It was a heck of a load behind the 258 but we did it....JUST BE CAREFULL...

[Ristow]

i'm about 8000lbs empty with the wagon. the wagon alone is almost as heavy as the truck. i'll weigh it tomorrow when i get back to the shop. the snow blade is probably 500+ lbs too. i got the bobcat centered pretty well,about an inch of sag. it pulls well that way,but with a 4200 lb truck you gotta take it easy on the steering input at speed.

[1983 j10]

Skid steer should be about 12,000

[jamesdart]

12,000!!! whoa. a few years ago my buddy was doing work on his house and he used to haul one home on the weekends with his 66 fury wagon with a home made leaf pack.

[1983 j10]

There pretty heavy a lot of people don't think they are but if it's diesel the engine alone is a few thousand then the pumps and control valve are another couple thousand so it adds up quick. I know the ones the company I work for sell range from 8 to 12 thousand.

[trellis8]

I'd say the old 843 is a good 6500lbs. Another 2k or so for the trailer and 4500 for the truck. Got a class A CDL there Mike?

[Ristow]

15,040lbs.

[Mars]

That's a lot of weight. How does it handle?

[Heavy_Metal_Thunder_81]

Mike, you are living my dream, sir.

the trailer pushes the truck around a bit. i wouldn't be blasting down the interstate in the left lane by any means.

That's for sure, my 87 didn't like my 'burb on the wagon when I had to tow it in dead, would not have been so bad but I had to do some hilly stuff.

I don't get over here much since I got sucked into the world of FB, that and I don't have any at home shop area now so no working on projects. I'm on the look out for a solid 80's J-truck frame I'll be due for a plow truck overhaul in a year or 2.
