Will a smaller skidsteer, like bobcat 743 or 753 work on 12ft dump trailer?
I have a low profile 12ft dump that I want to tow a skidsteer home with. Any idea if this will work. I realize a longer trailer would be better, but this is what I have. Thanks

I have a 12-foot, 14,000-pound PJ dump trailer, and I haul my 4200 John Deere tractor w/ backhoe, (5,000-pounds) don’t even know it’s back there! Of course the bucket hangs over the front, (blocked up) and the doors / tailgate doesn’t quite close.
But it does work.

Do it all the time, but I have a 16ft gooseneck dumper. It hauls it fine, but its not the best riding skidsteer trailer I have towed. Mostly I only put an 1845C in there due to the width of the larger skidsteers.
