Paul: I find it quite hard to give you advise. You have told us facts about the tractor many of us already knew, yet said nothing about the size, weight and strength of trailer. I have loaded hundreds of tractors from SA to Cat D7, forestry equipment on dozens of trailers. I can tell you there are a lot of trailers out there unsafe to haul much of anything. One of the biggest faults with a lot of light trailers is too much deck behind the trailer axles. A full 2/3 of your trailer deck should be ahead of center line of axles. If that puts too much weight on the pickup then it's too light as well. Many trailers to, also have ramps which are just too steep. Builders of trailers like to keep ramp weight down thus they build them too short, as well as too light. Enlighten us a bit about that trailer. One thing I never do is back a tractor onto a trailer. That one is a nono in my books. Hang enough weight on front to keep it down.
