I was not thinking that much weight when I posted a picture to show the space tractors take up on a 20 ft trailer with a 5 ft dovetail.
The tractors in the picture are right a 10,000 pounds. My ton truck will take these three tractors where ever I wish at high way speeds but I would not want much more weight. The Oliver 77 on the trailer weighs 4500 and when I swap it for the Oliver 88 at 6500 pounds it is to much weight for the truck on hills. One time with that much weight and I only put two tractor on when one is the 88. I never try to put anything else on the trailer when I load the Oliver 1650 or one of the 1850"s. I would guess that the 830 would be close to the weight of the 1650. I understand that the goosenecks will handle a bit more weight than the pintal hitch that I have.
I have a fifth wheel tilt bed trailer that weighs 8000 pounds by its self and it is a load with a backhoe loaded with a ton truck. I just go from farm to farm with it. Bout 45 mph with the rpm"s up.
