- Hauling a Compact Tractor in a Dump Trailer
I have a 7 x 12 dump trailer or technically a 83 x 12 dump trailer and in this video I talk about hauling my John Deere 2038R compact tractor in this trailer.
Here is my review of the weigh safe hitches and how they affect payload

At Rock Hill Farm and Homes we upload new videos at least 3 times per week, about our 20 Acre hobby farm, our John Deere 2038R compact tractor and other equipment, and the businesses that we run.
These businesses include a manufacturing operation, a Christmas tree farm, real estate investing, a lawn care business, and an online retail store. I demonstrate how I am able to use these ventures to earn a good living without a traditional job.
We have some cool toys and always think outside the box on our little homestead so come along for the ride.
You can expect new videos from us every other day, usually around 8 AM.

Also have-to be aware of the seals in the-two way lift , that’s all that holds down the bed , to much weight on the rear of the trailer could blow the seal ,
Brock, I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the stuff you are getting for your tractor and operation. Maybe I need to know the secret to negotiating with the finance committee?
To be honest, I don't tell her about a lot of it. As long as the bills are paid she doesn't ask a lot of questions
Safety tip, put you truck in 4WD before loading and unloading. This way if the rear end is lifted you still have the front wheels and the parking pawl to keep from moving.
Very useful tip
Also buy some plastic chocks and throw them under the trailer and truck tires. I use them all the time. $20 and a minute or two to throw them down.
That’s a good way to do it. I use those chocks when parking the trailer
When loading, What I do is support the back of the trailer so that I don’t have an issue with it lifting and then use the emergency brake. Works really well
Thanks for watching and for commenting
Excellent information. Appreciate the video. It is extremely helpful to people like me that will be getting a trailer in the future.
Thanks for watching and for commenting
I’m looking forward to getting a lot more done with the trailer
Tight fit. It would of been nice if they had a 14Ft trailer for you, but having 12ft trailer is better than no trailer. I hope to some day purchase one myself Although I know my Grand L3560 wouldn't fit in it.
I think the 12 foot trailer was the max I was comfortable pulling with my truck
@@RockhillfarmYT I'm looking forward to seeing it in operation. I think it will serve you well.
I’ll be hauling some rock with it this week and giving my first try at tailgating the material out
My guy is sportin’ the SMedium shirt!
I take my bucket off and put it in the front of the trailer and then the loader arms sit on top of the bucket. Lets me haul with a weight bracket on the back. and nothing sticks out.
Smart. I didn’t think of that
What kind of trailer is that ?
That’s going to work nicely for lots of jobs!
Thanks
Thanks for the video I am looking at dump trailers now
I appreciate the information great job
Thanks
I didn’t hear a mention of tongue weight. I’m also hauling my 12’ dump trailer with a half ton... and my truck requires weight distribution hitch with more than 500lbs tongue weight. You might want to look into that. The air suspension will level the truck.. but you could still be overloading the rear axle by a lot. Your setup(almost exactly the same as mine).. is probably pushing 1000-1200lbs tongue weight.
I think I had seen that I’m rated for 1000 pounds of tongue weight but I’m interested in anything that makes it easier to Pull so I will be doing a bunch of research on those weight distribution hitches
@@RockhillfarmYT it’s entirely possible that they up the tongue rating with the air suspension.. but most half tons require weight distribution hitch beyond 5,000lbs towing. The percentage of people that follow that rule... probably pretty low.
@@peterconlin9002 yeah, you don’t know what you don’t know.
I tried to do a lot of research on this and I had not heard of it
Exciting. I have a John Deere 430 tractor with Ballast weight tires.
Penny wise, and Trailer Foolish !
Traded that one in on a bigger trailer after getting a diesel truck
Too much talking.
Thanks
Great video Brock! Keep them coming brother!

Brock good information helps me when buy a trailer my tractor I smaller BX 2370 but not that much it ways a lot less my pick up towing is 10 K thanks
God Bless All

Thanks for watching
The weak points are your passenger tires on your truck, and the trailer tires are not rated for 7000 pounds per axle. For 7000 lb axles you need eight wheels or four wheel per axle. Also loose the quick hitch, unnecessary weight and length.
Thanks for sharing your feedback
Thanks👍. Great advice on the trailer. Now I need one...🤣
Thank you for watching and commenting
Looks like it works perfect.
Thanks. So far so good
The way to figure out the size for trailer you need is put your grapl on and your bush hog on and measure from the end of you grapl to the end of you Bush hog then measure from the end of your grapl to the middle of your rear tire and add enough so you rear tires on your tractor will be in the middle of both axles.
Thanks for sharing.
I have an 18’ trailer that works perfectly for my tractor
You might think about putting an attachment like box blade in the frt of trl first and resting loader on it.
Thanks for sharing
Good Video Brock, Useful Information......
Thanks
My 14’ Load Trail is my only transport trailer and it fits fine with the backhoe attached. I currently have an 18 3500 limited as an upgrade from my 12 1500 limited with 3.92 rear end. I have a Diamondback HD bed cover on the truck so I have had to fork an implement on a pallet up there after dropping the bucket as far into the trailer as possible then I also have the forks with me on the job. Of course it all depends on the combo I need. The flail mower grapple combo is perfect and will be my most common use for personal non-paid work. Footings and retaining wall prep are my favorite paid work I think after easy brush hogging with the flail mower.
Thank you for your feedback and sharing your set up. Right now the limiting factor keeping me from going bigger is my half ton truck
@@RockhillfarmYT your 1500 is perfect as long as you don’t get carried away hauling sand or gravel. If your truck has the barn door tailgate or doesn’t have the Ram boxes you could just fork a pallet right in and leave the forks in place (probably).🤞I’ve got Ram boxes so on top is best for me.
@@gwolf7716 Thanks for the feedback on that. I do not have the ram boxes and it’s just a normal tailgate
Great video 👌
Thanks for watching
Nice setup.
Thanks
Do you have a CDL?
