As many people smarter than me have said on this wonderful list,"It
is not the pulling, it is the stopping." I have a 3 horse slant, Circle J, 1996.
Not sure of the weight but it has brakes on one axle only. I am pulling with a
1992 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel. While the trailer brakes were not working, I wiped
out the brake drums on the truck. I could still stop, but now I know the damage
that I did. Very costly. With my trailer brakes working well, my 3/4 ton is good
enough. Not sure I would want anything bigger than a 3 horse bumper pull
with the 3/4 ton. I would not haul with a 1/2 ton. It is defininitely the
stopping. Beccy in Utah.
