I moved a 3400 lb 18' bass boat/trailer for 9 years with a 18 hp 1982 Gilson (montgomery Ward)/cast iron 4 speed transaxle garden size tractor , about 250 feet up and down a slight grade to the trailer barn. I always left the tongue jack with a wheel just high enough so the tractor couldn't wheelie over backwards. The trailer had 280 lbs of hitch weight. The garden tractor had 23/8:50-12" tires that carried the weight just fine.
