Hauling Deere D

Yesterday's Tractor Forums
Congratulations! I hope that it was an enjoyable trip! Your gross combined max weight was approximately 9000 lbs. Your legal tow capacity was 7500 lbs. This is not coffee room talk, it's not what he said she said. JD D tractor information is from Tractor Data, truck information was from Edmunds. You didn't by chance get yourself weighed did you?

When I have a load within my GCVW I am in far better control than if my load is way above.

Where did "way above" come from? He might be at, or even a couple hundred pounds over at worst, not "way above."

Something only has to go wrong once during a one time deal .
Rent a U-Haul with hydraulic surge brakes .

U-haul surge brakes are about as good as nothing. Speaking from experience.

You people act like he's hauling a D8 Caterpillar over the Himalayas... He'd be hauling a maybe-5000lb tractor across town! Don't tell me you don't load your goosenecks with 20,000lbs of round bales and hit the highway back to the farm... probably without straps even. Don't tell me you don't fill your grain bodies until they will not hold another kernel and head off to the grain elevator. I KNOW how big of a load you hauled and how janky your grain truck is are popular sources of "bragging rights." Oh, that's because you know what you're doing, right? Nothing bad is going to happen to YOU, because you're doing the Lord's work, right? :ROFLMAO:

John Deere D said:
April 2005, I left my then home ,on the Canadian side of the USA / Canada Border (Washington State /British Columbia) with my 1997 Ford 1/2 ton,extended Cab,Long box,6 cylinder Auto Transmission,Firestone Air bags on Rear suspention,16 inch 8 ply tires.
The Trailer (my brothers) had twin 3500 axles,10 ply tires,loaded with a 1947 John Deere D, Rear Rubber loaded with Calcium Chloride.

I picked my traveling time, so as to have minimum highway traffic,and much cooler ambient . After 750 miles,sun was up, I entered the west portal side of the Rocky Mountains and headed North East exiting the Rockies on the East side,with my trip ending at the Southern Terminus of the Alaska /Alcan Highway in Dawson Creek BC.

NOTE
The above is not coffee room talk,it's not he said she said.

it seams lots of stuff around here gets blown out of proportion when the OP is asking a simple question. its a yes answer right off the bat for a 24 mile trip. i know i have hauled heavier tractors than than and in fact in was a 660 ihc on an 18 ft trailer with 2 3500 lb axles. pulled with a 1995 chev 1/2 ton 6.5 diesel . i pulled many a tractor with that set up. from all over sask. to southern alberta.and even a super wd9 from sask. you sure are not going to do the speed limit. if only things would stay focused on the guys question . and i could bet the ones naying have not even hauled a tractor in this situation.:giggle: so the guy weenied out he said ,but he didnt have to.

need to have a weight of this old D before assuming he is over weight, plus the sheriffs could care less with farmers hauling stuff a bit over weight. they are after the big rigs. whats all the fuss hauling a 4000 lb. tractor.

Don't know what 4,000 lb tractor you are referring to. This thread is about a JD D.
 
Another thought. If one is comfortable and confident in what they want to do, they generally do it and don't ask if they should. If one is questioning something to me it says they are not comfortable doing it, and errors are more likely to happen. Not saying that is what is going on here just a general statement.

My big question to Jallyh is why you do not have brakes on your two-axle trailer? Even if they are not required it is a worthwhile investment to get them working.

And since you have done all this overweight hauling without a problem, that means as you say, "right off the bat" that the OP will not have a problem either. Then of course it follows that no one else will ever have a problem hauling over loaded and under-braked provided of course that they are careful.
