I have towed a lot bigger loads than that with a 71 Olds wagon!Last year at the King Auction in Columbia City IN , I hauled a high crop H for a guy and follwed his Grandpa home who was also towing a Farmall 300. His Grandpa had a dodge diesel and was suprised to see he hadn't left me in the dust! If your trailer has brakes and they work, you should be ok with a little C if you are in hill country.If out in the flat lands you will be fine as long as you don't tailgate someone and plan your stops ahead of time.Don't worry about people behind you if you go slow.They are not paying your insurance. when you load it make sure to have a little weight in front of the axles or the trailer may wag going down hills or when stopping. If it wags, hit the trailer brakes seperately from the truck brakes and it should stop wagging. If that doesn't do it, and the road is clear in front of you and there is an up hill part not far from the down hill part you can floor the truck and it will stop wagging.(wear you seat belt!)A wagging trailer can throw you right off the road in a hurry if it gets bad. so just make sure you have some weight on the hitch, go a few blocks and if it doesn't feel right , move the tractor forward or back if you have it too far forward which is also bad. the truck and trailer should be almost level when loaded, but a little bit of droop in the rear of the truck and front of trailer is ok. If the C runs ok I would personally drive it! It is like an adventure you don't get to experiance every day!
