1988 gmc 1 ton crewcab dually, 350 chevy TBI, spacer, ACCEL coil, cap, rotor, wires, engine oil cooler, shorty headers, straight pipe to the back, 4 speed crashbox, I'm legal for 20k total, I pull a gooseneck 24 deck over with 5 dovetail,3 7000 axles, pull my gleaner E no trouble at all. Havent hauled anything heavier, but I think a 190xt, a 200, or a 7000 would be no issue. I don't think I'd want to pull an L combine. I NEVER exceed 55 mph loaded, or not loaded usually, thats fast enough. Trev.

 98 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4, used to be a gasser 360, now is a cummins around 500hp. Have a 16' 7k steel deck trailer right now. Sorry there's a Cub on it in the picture :) Biggest I have is a D14 at the moment. Hope to have a D19 soon so I'll have to borrow my buddy's deckover to get it home since mine isn't wide enough. I'd like a 14k gooseneck but the only place the d19 would ever go is my parents about 3 miles away so I'll just drive it :)

99 F250 4x4 V10 auto. The "no name" trailer I bought new more than 25 years ago, it's 18' and has two 3500 lb axles, one axle has brakes. I think it was rated at 8000 lbs. It's probably been overloaded most of it's life, I've replaced two sets of wheel bearings and that's about it for repairs.
 I've pulled it with anything from an F150 to an F350. The heaviest tractor I've hauled is my D19d with loaded 18.4x34s, the back tires are set all the way in and they rub both railes. Now the heaviest load was probably my series IV D17 with the 500 loader and rear weights and a 6' Woods mower. The tailwheel barley fit on the deck while the loader bucket was curled under and still hung over the front. (Can you say young and stupid?) used to move it from farm to farm on back roads. Today a D17 (no loader) is about the most it hauls. I repainted it last fall. We take it regularly for parts, equipment & tractors out of state (need to go get a WD in Indiana sometime soon). Speaking of young and foolish, the boys loaded the WD and the WD45 both on it and brought them home from the local show last fall, they said the trailer handled it fine. LOL That said we're looking at 14,000 lb 20'+5' goosenecks to take over tractor hauling duties.

2006 f250 6.0 powerstroke. i know alot of folks hate on the 6.0 powerstroke but i feel in love the first time i pulled loaded trailer with it. tons of power! my 190xt weighs 11500 pounds and the full load was about 23-24,000 pounds. let a couple buddies use it to pull a gooseneck with 2 tractors on it down to state fair and weighed about 24-25000 pounds. i love it.

My tow truck is a 2003 Ford F-150 Ext'd cab flareside. Its got a tow package and a Edge tuner. My truck with out a trailer will pull anything hook it to (trucks, tractors). I pull one tractor that the brakes were frozen up on. I plan on up-grading the rear leafs though.

Hers: 2004 Chev. HD2500 crewcab with 8.1L gas and Allison transmission and 4x4, the thing is a pulling beast.
Mine: 1997 GMC 3500 Dually crewcab with 7.4L gas and automatic transmission, it pulls good but not as good as the 8.1L and is a gas hog when towing.
Trailers: Corn Pro 20+5 deckover concertible and a Corn Pro 21+6 deckover tilt deck both rated at 14K and both are great trailers but each has limitations that the other addresses. Also a 16' Pace enclosed for the small loads that need protection from the weather.
When I get really serious about towing I go to the 1993 Freightliner FLD112, 3176 CAT and Eaton 10 speed. I don't get there in a hurry, but I can pull anything that I can hitch to it. It also gets better mileage than my Dually and close to what the HD2500 gets. That's a 35 foot Matlock trailer with living quarters, everything you need to camp out at tractor shows including a bath tub! GCVW 48,000#

No, I have a 75 gallon fresh water tank in the basement. Come to think of it, the tub might make a better adult beverage storage container than the fridge.

An Aluma 7712H trailer pulled by a 2000 F-150 with a 6 cylinder engine & manual transmission. Max payload that can be carried by the trailer is about 2500 pounds. This is a one-trick-pony set-up to transport my Model G's. It has worked well for this purpose.

This is the setup I use for most local and smaller tractors. 2006 F350 6.0 dsl. I am also planning to use this setup more frequently for heavy loads. I have an electric brake controller set up and the correct electric hookup wired, as well as the 7 pin used for the grain trailer. The original 7 pin has the brake lights and turn lights separate, which complicates direct adaptation to combination brake/turn lights on most trailers. 1993 Mack CH613. The trailer is a 27+5 w/20K axles. Buying a trailer is a pretty big investment for most of us, but I haven't regretted owning one. It seems like I use it frequently.

I know this is off the thread, but I'm curious on your intercooler instalation Redline. I see you have the altenator on the left side. I'm doing the same thing on a 220 but had to move the alternator to the right side to accomadate the big water pump and the rad inlet to the left side.

This isn't the answer you were hoping for, but it was already converted when I got the tractor. I can try to take some photos for you to look at if it would help you. I had a puzzle finding a hose to fit on front for the bypass on the water pump. The partsman finally found a hose from a Toyota that would fit my needs. The previous owner of this tractor did a lot of repair work with a welder, so duplicating it might be challenging. Here are some topless photos that might help.

Mine is an 07 duramax. This was at the Albert City GoTO in 2010.
It was a little tongue heavy in this pic, I ended up moving the E back nearly 2' to get the weight right.
This trailer is sold and I now have a 20' dovetail. Can't haul 2 tractors to shows now.

That truck should be fine.
The 18' I have access to, has 7000 pound axles, for 14000 total capacity. The trailer weighed 2400, that leaves 11600 load capacity. That should be doable but I would definately make sure it has the correct load range tires.

It depends on what the trailer weighs, what the truck weighs, what the GCWR is for the truck and the trailer it is pulling.

This is my Dad's 1949. F8. It's still powered by the original Lincoln V8, only a little stronger now with a few mods and an added 1/2" stroke. It also has air brakes with a 5x2 tranny. That's his "51" WD, and his Mercury V8 powered 9N on back.
