Re: C30 capacities???

I will likely get flamed for this...but... Yes that truck should be able to pull that tractor and trailer with no problems. With the correct hitch and loading of course. I am looking to pull a tractor with my truck, every once in a while, that is only a little lighter than yours. You should never rely on the truck brakes to stop all of that weight though. You will want trailer brakes and most states require trailer brakes on a trailer of that size. I am planning to do a disk brake upgrade and maybe even HD brakes on the rear before I attempt to pull mine but I also have a C10. I have no doubt that I can pull it, but I want to make sure I can safely stop it as well. Your C30 should have larger brakes on it already. Hope that helps answer your question.
