re: Towing a bobcat on a trailer, do I need something else to get it done?

It would be a one time pull. From the rental company to about 8 miles away to our lot and then back. No interstate, 45mph max. My father in law has a car trailer that he uses to transport all his classic cars, but I don't think it has brakes, so this may be a no go unless I can find another trailer. They quoted me $300 in delivery charges, which is more than the rental itself, for a 16 mile round trip. I just really want to avoid paying that. Thanks guys.

You should be fine, just keep reciting Vettguy's quote
I've pulled mini excavators and bobcats with my 2008 Z71 1500, 5.3L. Just take your time and I always use the backroads.

I pulled heavier stuff than that with my old v6 Tacoma. You'll be good. Just make sure to load it right so you can still steer

You may have to have a 3/4 ton truck for that.RSC in BR wouldnt rent to me in 2009 when I wanted a T190.I think brakes are an absolute must for this.The pulling part is easy...The stopping part can be tough with that much weight.

Hell will they let you just drive the bobcat home?
Seriously, you should be fine over that short distance.

Man, some of those are really lightweight.
I'd double check the load rating on that trailer.
