See your trailer / chassis manual for brake and braking Information.
6.8.3 Tractor Towing Size Requirements
Use the following charts to help calculate the minimum tractor weight when towing without implement brakes. The
minimum tractor weight, up to 20 mph (33 kph) needs to be 2/3’s of the box Gross Weight (GW). Gross Weight is
calculated by the empty weight of the box and undercarriage combined added to the Load Weight. Then take the Gross
Weight and multiply it by 0.667 and you will get the Minimum Required Weight of the Tractor.
