If I have a tractor that weighs 5200 lbs. What is the minimum size tandem utility trailer do I need 3,500, 5,000, 6,000 or 7,000 lbs axles?

Expert Reply:
Your trailer axles will have to carry the weight of the 5,200 lb tractor plus the weight of the trailer. So if your trailer weighs 1,800 lbs then a trailer with 7,000 lbs of axle capacity would be required.
The trailer should have a weight rating listed on it that will tell you how much it can carry. You would want to find a trailer that can carry at least 5,200 lbs.
