Nice dozer! My friend just sold his JD450C and bought a skidsteer instead. The dozer was great when building his house but a skidsteer is more useful for small stuff. Plowing snow with a dozer is....well....a little overkill I guess! Nice yours works on that trailer - we never had the ability to tow his around as it weighed about 20K with the backhoe on it.
Thanks for the compliments.
Inside the shop is a Mahindra 3316 4WD tractor with a front end loader and several other 3 point attachments for snow and grass removal.
I converted the trailer from a bumper pull to the gooseneck. The friend that gave me the bumper pull trailer towed a large backhoe. I have never enjoyed towing heavy objects on a bumper pull trailer - when I say heavy, I am talking 15-16,000 lbs.
The 450B dozer weighs just over 11,000 lbs. and the 14K trailer weighs 4,330. My 2013 RAM 3500 DRW is more than capable hauling the load. I have towed the 450B 1,250 miles.
The largest item I ever towed on the gooseneck was the backhoe that belonged to the original trailer owner. This was with my 3500 SRW too.
