I don't know how much the skid loader weights but my '72 would pull my buddy robs scout up to hollister hills with no problum and the is a pritty decent hill to climb up to get there.

Almost forgot. At the time it was pulling the scout in the pic, It had a 350/350/205, 1/2 ton springs and dana 60 front and 14 bolt in the rear. I had pulled it up there like 30 times before with the stock 1/2 ton axles under it. I would say you should be fine pulling the skid loader. Just make sure you hitch is installed right. Good luck, Landon

thanks guys! has anyone installed a class 4 hitch? if so, do any of them fit better than others? bolt up to existing holes vs. drilling frame?

Mine hangs low, and had to drill holes. No idea of the make nor model, it is pretty old.
