See full version: How Much Can a Lawn Mower Tow
Transmissions play a large role when it comes to pulling with a tractor. You will want to make sure when towing larger loads (350+ lbs) you will not want to depress the forward travel pedal no more than halfway to avoid transmission damage. Always run a tractor at full throttle when PTO is engaged and you are towing loads. here
Maintaining that perfect looking lawn can be a lot of work, and even the most careful lawn guru can end up with a bald patch here and there. If you are looking to fill in some grass-free areas in.
Classic farmer logic is “if you can get it moving, you’re fine”. While I appreciate the commitment to getting the job done, that’s only half of what the saying should be. Making sure you can brake and come to a complete stop when necessary (ESPECIALLY when towing downhill) is extremely important. [links]
There is definitely a debate for what is more important when towing – horsepower or torque? At the end of the day, both are important when towing with a lawn mower (and trucks!) but they both have separate purposes. here
In general, a typical riding lawn mower’s towing capacity is between 290lbs and 580lbs. This is determined by applying a general rule of thumb that a lawn mowers towing capacity is about 50-100% the weight of mower + operator.
Yeah, I plan to call Monday (if I can get through) and find out max pull weight. more
The trailer is a small one that I would guess doesn't weigh over 75/85 lbs from Northern Tool. If I recall correctly it's a 17 sq. ft. It's great for hauling firewood, limb litter, mulch, etc. more

If so, what's the maximum weight you'd estimate you've loaded the trailer with and away you went? [links]

It would be one thing to pull your boat around 20 or 30 feet on a flat concrete driveway--I might try it. But, I recently found myself pulling a load of firewood up a grassy hill on a 18 hp Lawn Tractor when I lost traction and started going backwards. It was frightening as I just about jack knifed and went into the lake. here
Re: Can I move my 3000 pound bass boat with a lawn tractor
My neighbor has a big Sears 21 hp Lawn Tractor, and I see the Sears mechanic time after time at his house doing warranty work. His tractor's guts are not up to so much horsepower. I would not think about pulling my new boat with his Lawn Tractor. here
