The GVWR is 4800 lbs.However what is the GCWR? That is the Gross Combined Weight rating, and that takes into account the vehicle, total load in or on the vehicle AND the weight of the trailer and its load. Any ideas? Thanks

What does your tactor(s) weigh? I guess if you've got the 12 volts, you can use trailer brakes, but you will get shoved around alot even with the load mostly on the trailer. I'm sure that happened around farms though, I would imagine you'd need to take a lot more care with that rig. Really slow. | | |
