Just a quick question, do you guys think that a 420 or a 40U wheeled tractor would be able to pull my 420c on a trailer?

Thanks

If it is a 4 wheeled trailer, then yes, just don't go down any big hills.

if you mean four wheels as compared to the 4 wheels with the two small from tires in the center of the front then yes, and i plan to hook up the electric trailer brakes up so i dont have to carry an extra set of boxers whenever i come to a small hill.

how about power wise, would it be able to pull the dozer up the a hill, powerwise?

What I meant was how much weight are you going to put on the tongue of the tractor? I do not know what they will carry, but I would not get out of hand as far as togue weight on the hitch.
As far as power, I doubt you will be in road gear, but it should pull fine in the lower gears.

It will pull it fine if properly loaded on trailer. However stopping and negotiating turns will be challenging even on blacktop.
