Newbie Towing/trailer ?

Hi new Ford F250 V-10 auto owner,4.10 axle, crew cab, short bed. I am going to be pulling a 7,000 mini excavator. Truck came with gooseneck & tag along hitches. Excavator transport length is about 16'. Any suggestions gn versus tagalong. Towing time will be split between transport on my farm(hilly, some roads, some pastures) and highway. Tilt versus ramps.

Thank you.

Hi hackalot, welcome to FTE the BEST of the rest.

You should probably post your questions in the sites teck forums. The site's tech forums can be found at this link,,, Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - Ford truck and SUV owners and enthusiasts Community And Information Source.

Specifically you may want to post your question here,,, Towing, Trailers And 5th Wheels - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

I see from your profile that the great state of South Carolina is home. FTE has a local chapter for SC members which can be found at this link,,, South Carolina Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

When you visit the SC chapter, introduce yourself, meet other Ford owners and most important JOIN your chapter. While there mention to Rich, 99trigger3_0 that glruff sent you.

Glad to have you onboard!
