Often ignored is the fact that the weight supported by the vehicle's bumper does not count toward the gross weight of the trailer. Normally a bumper-pulled trailer should have 10-15% tongue weight. In your example, your 1,000 pound trailer with a 6,000 pound load, if the load is properly distributed with, say, 10% tongue weight (700 pounds), the actual trailer gross weight across the scales would be 6,300 pounds, giving you considerable more useful load.

What is the purpose of buying a small utility trailer that can only hold 2 to 3 thousand pounds if you can just use your bed?
@polkadotfarms23 күн бұрын
Thank you for your question. Trailers are all about user preference. With that being said, most utility trailers will haul much more than your GVWR of just your vehicle. Thus extending your maximum capacity.

Hey there. Thanks for your video. We are two years in to having Belted Galloways on our little homestead & our experience is similar to yours. They are a great animal to breed. Great mothers with a good milk supply, easier breeding & calving than traditional breeds. They do really well on poor pastures & are winter hardy with their double coat. Their meat is naturally marbled on pasture. They do take about 6 to 8 month longer to grow out compared to commercial cattle. They are long lived, train easily to halter, remain gentle & are pleasing to the eye. All in all a great doer. 👍🏼🍻

We Raise Belted Galloways on our place RZL Farms in NE Iowa. Could not ask for better temperment and easy going. Can handle cold winters and rainiy seasons without issue. Feed Coversion is great they can graze pasture and rough ground and definitely gain weight. Downside is they take longer to top out in weight around 6 months longer. I'm happy with the breed and recommned to anyone starting out or wants a small herd on their property.

If you have say 1000 pounds to tow, or 800 or whatever... my question is does it pull the same or differently if you are pulling the weight from behind instead of having it on the car's body itself? Is it better for the same amount of weight to be pulled instead of on the axle and body weight of the car itself?

Every scenario is different, and you should always adhere to local, state, and federal guidelines. That being said, on my farm, I try to load 60% on the tongue side and 40% on the back half. I hope this helps!

Great job💪💪 what did you use to rake the hay? Was that wheel rake from earlier video? I'm asking because I've bought new baler recently and I have 4 wheel rake. 6 wheel rake looks more efficient, but since I have small pickup on a baler, I'm worried if 6 wheel rake makes bigger pile of hay - that would be hard to bale I think 🤔😊
