If You can find the owner's manual or a service manual the recommended Gross Combination weight should be listed for Your F-350. It depends on the gearing and transmission You have. I think You'll find a SRW F-350 pickup rated to tow only about 12,000-14,000# total vehicle weight including the weight of the load, trailer and truck. My '96 manual trans 4X4 diesel is rated 16,000# and I sure wouldn't attempt to pull a trailer with a 11,000# tractor on it any distance at all. I think You'll over-load everything on Your truck, tires, springs, brakes, axles. I think I'd sell the F-600 but work a deal with the new Proud Owner to pull Your tractor around if You don't need it moved very often! My $0.02
