RE: (ET) Towing Capacity

["Hazen, Dwight L" <hazen indiana edu>]

Dennis,

Traction and the temperature of the drive motor will be the limiting towing
factor for the tractor. I have moved a 2,700lb. sail boat on flat pavement
with no problem. The one thing you want to be careful of is how are you
going to stop that much weight? Never go down hill and never go fast when
towing a heavy load.
