If it will fit in the doors, I am sure it will haul it with no problems. I hauled 3 tons of steel in mine. Same speed loaded going up hill as it was empty going up the same hill.....slow...very slow...but it was nice to know it hauled all of it without a hickup or gasp.....thats what these things are made for.

Heavy tongue and groove flooring with steel cross members, it will hold it real good. It is built better than some lowboys that haul large equipment.

Still curious on how to get a 4500# tractor through those back doors. My 96 Honda 350FW is bone stock and just fits.

Ok lets clear this up. Do you have a M109 with the box still on it, or do you have a M109 that has the box removed and a cargo bed installed in its place?

which?
actually i have yet to get a deuce , just trying to figure out which configuration would best suit me. i try to go to a few tractor shows most years and was think a deuce would useful for transporting some of my tractors. the m109 would be great im thinking because of the enclosed nature.(keep things dry) the m35 because it would be better for hauling. of course i could always get both
