I need to locate a goose neck or fifth wheel trailer that is capable of hauling 11,000 pounds. I am looking at purchasing a tractor and have no way to move it which could be a deal breaker if that's the case.
All the rental companies I have contacted (RSC, A1, united rental never got back to me) only have trailers that go up to 10,000 pounds and attach to a reese hitch (bumper essentially) So not only are they 1,000 pounds short I would prefer to tow with a gooseneck over a bumper style hitch.
The tractor is a mid 60's case 830 comfort king with loader and fluid in the tires. The fluid is what is killing me as the tires probably way 500 pounds each. The data I found on the tractor shows it by it self weighs 8,000 pounds and that without loader and counting the fluid.
The truck I have to tow with is a 97 dodge ram 3500 4x4 dually with a v10 and auto transmission.
Anybody have any ideas where I can look or should I just wing it renting a trailer that only good to 10,000 pounds?
