What trailer do I need to haul a John Deere 60G?
One with a payload rating above 13,250 lb plus the weight of any buckets and attachments. At 8 ft 4 in tall it stays under 13 ft 6 in on a typical 60 in flatbed deck.
Do I need a CDL to haul a John Deere 60G?
For commercial hauling, almost certainly: a trailer rated over 10,000 lb towed by a truck whose GVWR brings the combined rating to 26,001 lb or more requires a Class A CDL (49 CFR 383.91). A 13,250 lb machine needs a trailer rated well over 10,000 lb.
