@turboff That trailer is a nice find. I attended an auction last year where I bought my 446. They had two Case trailers. One the size of your and one a little bigger.

Re: New 444 Owner with some questions (Southern Ontario)

@turboff Welcome aboard the site . Where in Southern Ontario are you at ? Traction is achieved like Eugen said with weight and chains . Also the correct air pressure is important .
