Do you mean you want to tow a dump trailer? I am a little confused the way your question is worded?

Yes I'd like to know the rated towing capacity. I haven't been able to find that info.

Good question Joe. I'd contact John Deere through their site.The John Deere Home Page

On the bottom of the home page click "Contact Us" Ask your question and someone will get back to you. I've gotten answers quickly, within a day or so. Let us know what you find out.

Good luck..........

I don't think the issue "how much it can pull?" so much as "how much can it stop?". Having a very heavily loaded trailer pushing a 2000 pound tractor could be a very dangerous situation.

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.

2x20 2000 kg
3x20 4000 kg
4x20 5000 kg

The manual actually says .. and you can get the manuals from JD. Problem is the information is very difficult to find as it doesn't say "your tractor can tow x lbs".

Rather they say something like .. "Reduce speeds if towed load weighs more than machine." and "If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel [fast] and do not tow loads more than 1.5 times the tractor weight." and "If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel [really fast or] tow loads more than 4.5 times the machine weight." <from the 2320 manual>
