Just want to get an idea what folks have found to be a real world towing capacity for the 710M.
Plan on towing a Kawasaki Teryx 800, it weighs in at around 1600 lbs., plus the weight of the trailer, so somewhere in the neighborhood of 2800 lbs., mostly short, level, trips within 50 miles of home. Too much ???
Thanks!

Re: 710M realistic towing capacity.......
I have a 900 pound single axle trailer that I pull a Kubota BX 2200. It's kind of sluggish and can't be in a hurry. I have to steep hills near me that I had to go up with the trailer I ended up down in second gear. So my experience is like pulling it with a 1980s 4 cylinder S10. Hope that helps.

Re: 710M realistic towing capacity.......
Long, long ago in my far away my Gas Pinz days ( ) , I used to towed my Haffy 18 miles into the mountain with my 712M.
A 710 shouldn't be bothered at all, I'd be concerned more if it was heavier without trailer brakes and have to rely on the drum brakes to stop quickly or on a downhill.
I'm looking for a trailer with surge brakes so that I can trailer the Supacat to British car shows with GG. THAT will be pushing the tow limits!

That was my concern, also. Stopping. Tractor and mower weigh about 2000 plus trailer. A lot for not having brakes. It pulled ok, except hills. But I don't push her hard. And I worry about emergency situations.

900# Single axle trailer!? With 1500#+ pound BX2200? Is it a hefty axle? Can you show me/link me to what you purchased? Very interested!
