hi Dan, take all info and assemble and then figure who is behind the wheel. i say that because i would try it. nb test on the a showed tractor before adding weight was about 1800lbs the cub at about 1200lbs for weight alone you have a guessing game. you said it was a 16ft trailer,is that a equip.or car? how wide is it. are both frontends wide? my A and cub are. are there rails around the side? how is it chained? what is the true length and width of the bed and are the tie chain hooks in good position for each of the units.others asked what is the pull vehicle and how long a drive? also think of what roads and traffic you will need to deal with.can your pull truck do the hills? ther are a lot of things to think over but as the others said it has been done. i haul cars for a living and have a new puzzle each load. this sounds like a fun puzzle. let us know how it goes.hope i was some help. bill

The combination could weigh as little as 4000 lbs, depending on how they are weighted. Add 2000 lbs for the trailer and that's all most half tons want. I pulled about 7000 for 300+ miles with my half-ton GMC once. Never again! Otherwise the problem, as noted below will be getting enough wiggle room so you can get your trailer loaded with just enough tongue weight on the rear of your pickup. I suppose this is where a load equalizing hitch would come in handy.

as to length, i bought a 57 cub loboy and a farmall a, at the same auction. i hauled them both home in a 16' gooseneck stock trailer, behind a 3/4 ton pickup. it was tight, but the gate closed. i don't know if a 63 cub would be longer than a 57 loboy.

Besides the weight issues that have already been pointed out, length is going to be a problem. If I remeber correctly an A is aobut a six inches to a foot longer than a cub. You can barely get 2 cubs on a trailer with a 16 foot bed.

Hi Dan, These guys are right on hauling those two tractors. I just hauled an A and it was a load for my 1/2 ton truck pulling a trailer.

The engine was under powered and with a 3 speed tranny, it was hard to pull any hills. You would need at least a 3/4 ton truck with a big engine. See if someone has a low-boy trailer
and tractor to haul those for you. They can secure the tractors with tie down chains and chain jacks. Hal

Maybe.

Those two tractors could feasibly weigh 3 tons together, depending on how they're equipped. Loaded tires, wheel weights, implements will all add to the weight.

Your trailer has a GVWR rating on it. That includes both the tractors and the trailer, and your trailer probably weighs about a ton in and of itself, if it's a typical tandem-axle 16-footer.

What do you have to pull it? No wimpy 1/2 ton truck for that much weight, if you're figuring on pulling it over any long distance.

dan, novel idea guy is right, my consern is where that weight is going to be on the trailer, you didn't say how far you need to haul them, but figure 90% of the weight of the second tractor is going to be behind the trailer wheels, on a bumper pull trailer this will make the trailer want to 'WHIP" back and forth behind the tow vehicle, if your just going a few miles you can stay around 40 mph and get there . but like he said you need a stout tow vehicle, and the longer wheelbase, the better, ericlb

As for pulling power my dad has an 90 I think Chevy with a 305 engine and he goes all over up to about a 2 hour drive pulling his M to tractor pulls and it has no lack of power. My old 1980 chevy with the 305 will also pull the load with no problem. With the M it weighs about 7500 pounds and trailer is 2000 pounds. With a good tuned up truck I can't see needing anything bigger then a half ton truck. Now this tractor does put a good balaced weight on the tounge and back of the truck. I think this is the important part. if not a balanced load a trailer will swing bad. Also should have good trailer brakes pulling anything over 5000 pounds and even if pulling less then 5000 with a half ton I really want trailer brakes.
