Towing small tractor on 16ft trailer with c1500 1994

Hey guys,

I'm towing a TC25 New Holland tractor about 130 miles to SC tomorrow with my 94 1500 2wd. My trailer is a dual axle 16ft. setup. weighs aprox. 800lbs. and the tractor is aprox. 2500 lbs. should I have any issues? I do have a transmission cooler for towing, and do pull 2-3 mowers (commercial walk behinds) on a regular basis plus my tools. shouldn't have any issue?

So total 3,300 pounds. I wouldn't be suprised if your trailer is a bit heavier.
But even so with 5k you would still be fine.
You may want to drop OD and just stay in 3rd just depends on how it drives or just your preference.
The only thing that should really hurt you is if the truck is geared high. Even with 3.42's you would be fine.

Ya... I've never seen a tandem 16ft trailer that was only 800#
The lightest Carry-On 16ft tandem is 1650 empty (that's low side, with a mesh ramp tailgate). I see a Big Tex at 1470.
