Tractors are made with pulling capability in mind rather than carrying capacity. Tractors are able to lift a tremendous amount of weight, or the answer is rather astounding if you take into account how much work it takes to draw a plow. It used to be that a plow needed 30-35 horsepower to pull each bottom efficiently. That was before the widespread usage of diesel engines, the development of four-wheel drive, and the massive horsepowers that are now being produced. 

Your trailer’s load capacity undoubtedly affects your tires directly, but it can also put you at ʀɪsᴋ because of laws that often have weight restrictions on the total amount of load that can be driven on the road.

The maximum load capacity permitted by the highway code is determined by the horsepower of your tractor’s engine and the quantity of rolling axles. In the event of an excessive overload, excess weight on the axle may result in a fine or the immobilization of your trailer if you are pulled over.

If your braking system is not designed to handle the weight of the load carried by your trailer, the ʀɪsᴋ of overloading on the road may be even more ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs.

Let’s take a look at this tractor which is carrying a big load of ɢʀᴀss in the video below:
