Message: <blockquote data-quote="mrbb" data-source="post: 136173" data-attributes="member: 13825">another thing to consider is when you get into the weight class your at, your really asking a  LOT from a bumper pull trailer, IMP and experience! most folks that tow this heavy tend to find goose neck trailers are way better at handling the load, and easier to turn around, just way more pro's than con's to them and most tend to NOT tow so heavy with a pick up as well, as your asking a  LOT from a pick up truck, don't care what the door rating says when your up[ near the max, your asking a lot truck most likely weight close to 8-9k,m skid steer 10+ k, trailer 5+ k, that's a lot  of weight behind a pick up truck, even a dully! 1 ton! that;s more the range of 4500-5500's  series trucks and larger IMO< if you live in flat lands, no real hills and drive SMART slower than speed limits you an for sure get by but if you lived here where I am, hills every few miles, 20-800 ft in elevation changes ,  you'd be asking for some bad luck to find you! not to mention the added wear and tear on the tow vehicle! and NOT bashing anyone that used what they have or?? just saying there are better tools for the task than a HD 3/4-1 ton pick up! and if dead set using one,  IMO< a 5th  wheel trailer set up better that a bumper pull set up! and lastly, a JD 333G weights more like 12k+ or - pending set up and bucket/implement on it! don;'t know what exact model 333 you have, so, might want to double check what specs list it at, or better yet, have it weighed at a local scale and know 100% what YOURS weights with fluids in it/bucket /attachment you plan to tow on it nothing like really knowing what something weights when buying a trailer for it, that is a chunk of change  on the line this again insures you YOUR machine will work on it</blockquote>
