I'll miss Mr Orange, but I'm sure the next fellow will take good care of him. We leave in the morning to start his life 2 hours down the highway.

The tractor is supposed to be around 3200 without the loader, so I'll guess 3800 with the loader. My trailer has 2 x 5000 axles, and the weight of the trailer is around 2250. So I can safely haul just over 7750. Ramps slide into the back.
If your tractor has a loader, you'll want 18ft for proper balancing. If not, a 16ft would suffice. 2 x 3500 axles gives you about 5200lbs of cargo weight, plenty for what you need.
A 16ft trailer with 3500 axles can be easily found all over with ramps included. Look for brakes on both axles and lots of tie-down spots.
My two cents. Good Luck.

One more thing: for the heavier machines I move I bring with me a pair of 3 tonne jack stands, and place them under the back of the trailer to help the rear axle take the brunt of the weight. I learned that after seeing my uncle load his tractor on his 20+ year old trailer: the rear axle really sags now when he's loading/unloading. It's a cheap investment that helps save the rear axle.

Jason, I don't think I could have parted with that little VA. Was raised with one of those less the alied loader. Your tractor looks great , and the new owner is for sure a lucky guy.
