Re: Need de-ciphering on towing capacity

i am guessing they are approximating that by tongue weight, 1000lb max usually, 20% to the tongue=5000lb capacity, boats are better balanced than that. however, about 80% of skid steer trailers are just now going to be legal with the 12,500lb hitch standard, the bigger bobcats with an attachment and trailer that we have around here are just over 11,000lb. it is real fun finding balls and receiver tubes rated over 10,000lb
