I have a Ferris zero turn mower that I need to haul to a lawn to mow. According to specs, it weighs about 970 lbs. I have a 4'x8' utility trailer, but I am wondering if it is heavy enough to haul the mower. As you can see in the photos, I had no trouble loading the mower, and the mesh floor is well supported and does not sag. Frame and tongue are angle iron. The leaf spring compress about 1-1/4 inches when the mower is loaded.

Since the the trailer was custom fabricated ( not by me), I have no idea what its hauling capacity is. The Carlisle tires are rated at 762 lbs. each.

Opinions on safety of hauling this mower on the trailer are appreciated.
