JD 60G Operating Weight, kg (lbs) 6145 (13547)
Bobcat S630 Operating Weight 7610 lb
Bucket on the Bobcat can weight almost 300 lbs.

I hope he isn't pulling around a 60G with a Tundra.

17G 3790 lb.
26G 6110 lb.
30G 7220 lb.
35G 7760 lb.
50G 10847 lb.

10k with trailer brakes on a truck rated for 10k would be fine as long as the tongue weight was reasonable. With brakes i wouldn't hesitate to do it if the drive was fairly easy. Coming down the sunshine bridge with that would be dicy but on all flat ground it wouldn't be bad.

Aren’t you on the Northshore and live near me? I will pull it for you and save you the $200. Pretty sure you have my cell number if I remember correctly. I thought I had yours but I’ve gotten a couple new phones.

Pulling it is not the problem. Stopping it is gonna be an issue. If you do decide to pull make sure u start slowing down well before a stop sign. Good luck

Then it rains. Better start sopping when you think there’s a stop sign coming up. Dicey is an understatement. And hope no one pulls out in front of you.

They only let you rent a truck with a hitch if you are also renting something towable from them.

I've pulled a bobcat on a 18' heavy duty trailer with a f150 once bc my F250 was in the shop. Never again. Crossing the the bridge at pearl river was dicey. It felt like I was a steering a run away freight train.

it's a shite ton of risk for hitting somebody in those 9 miles for $200.



This X eleventy billion

The weight you listed for equipment is most likely dry weight, the fluids will add 200 or so LBS, throw in the trailer and you will be well over what you are rated for.

If you own anything I would not risk it over a few bucks and FYI your insurance company will leave you standing alone if anything happens, read the fine print.

I pulled a D5 Lgp with my 250 a while back. Tore that fricker up. I have towed 8800lbs behind a 5.7 Tundra before, and it definitely pushed me around.

My advice....get ya baw to pick it up. Bobcats are heavy as frick, and you have to load them on the trailer properly to tow them right. Not good for someone asking about it

I pulled a 4640 all over creation with a f150 years ago but it was a bad plan evidenced by the severly bent frame.

I was young, dumb, and broke and did not own enough to GAF, I see things a bit differently these days.

bobcat on the hitch


I think housecat is the limit for a Tundra. I know Lynx is over the limit. Use duct tape.
