My large horse trailer, 6000 lbs, and 2 horses are at the farm in e. Tx. My small trailer, 2000 lbs, and 2 horses are in Dallas. Its time to have the horses' feet trimmed and since the farrier is in Dallas, the two in e. Tx have to be brought back to Dallas this w/e.
Here's the question - I could pull the small trailer empty to e. Tx, 2000 lbs, 150 miles; bring the horses back in the small trailer, 136 miles, 4000 lbs.
I would then return the two horses that stay at the farm to e. Tx. the following w/e, 150 miles, 4000 lbs. When we return to Dallas, I would bring the small trailer back empty, 136 miles, 2000 lbs.
Or I could use the large trailer, 8000 lbs with the horses, a total of 286 miles.
If I use the small trailer, it would mean an extra round trip, but the trailer would be empty. The question is which would be more economical?
286 miles with the small trailer, 2000 lbs. 286 miles with small trailer & horses, 4000 lbs.
or
286 miles with the large trailer & horses, 8000 lbs.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
