I'm posting this on multiple boards to get the most options.

I have a '44 Ford 2n that I was hoping to use to pull my boat out of the water...not going to happen, not enough weight. This is not at a nice public boat launch, just at the shoreline of my cabin. Would filled tires add enough weight? They used to be filled but I got tired of the corroded valve cores leaking and drained them. I suppose I could fill them with anti freeze but how much weight would that add? How much weight can I add to a 2n?

And finally, what would your tractor recommendation be? I need something short, squatty, gas, wide front (dealing with a hill) and around 4000 pounds and under $5000. I'm guessing on the weight, I know the boat/motor/trailer weighs about 2500 pounds plus pulling it over a lip at the shore and up a slight incline at the lake.

Thank you for any ideas,

Joel B.

Hi Joel, In my opinion, the tractor you have with some weight added should have no trouble pulling 2500lbs of boat and trailer ! I think its more a question of weight than a HP issue. If you didnt want to fill the tires again, you could try wheel weights as an alternative.
