I"m looking for a good used Dodge 1500 truck. I"ve got a 1995 Chevy S-10 and I"m wanting to upgrade. I"ve been looking at a 2004 Dodge 1500, has the 4.7 liter V-8 engine, 4 wheel drive, automatic, quad cab, short bed, white, has almost 44,000 miles, has good tires. If I take the truck, it will have a towing package included in the deal. Most of the time, I"ll be pulling a 6 1/2 by 12 single axle trailer with probably 3 Cub Cadets on it. My grandfather has a double axle trailer that weighs about 2,000 pounds that I could pull if the truck will handle it. I"m wanting to know if I could pull this trailer with a Farmall H on it? I figure an H weighs around 4 to 4,500 pounds. Dodge literature says for a truck like this, maximum payload is 1,530 pounds and maximum trailer weight is 7, 150 pounds. Also says the 4.7 V-8 has 235hp @4,400 rpm and 300 pounds-ft @ 3,500 rpm. The Dodge guy I"m dealing with says the truck will handle it with no problem. I would mostly be pulling it on two lane roads with some hills. Where I mainly haul to there is two good size hills between home and there. If I can pull grandfathers trailer okay, I can haul 7 Cub Cadets on it. Might also haul my McCormick Deering W-4 or my JD B on it. Probably won"t pull the bigger tractors around with it very much. I"m just not sure if the 4.7 V-8 will pull it with no problems or if I should wait and find a truck like this with the 5.7 liter V-8. Hopefully someone has a truck like this that pulls a trailer with tractors. Thanks in advance.

Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
