Paul, while I usually agree with Hugh I will disagree on this one. I always back the tractor onto the trailer. There is no chance of the tractor flipping this way. The only way that I do not reccomend it is if the tractor in question does not have a slow enough reverse gear. It needs to be done slowly and steadily. No clutching and breaking halfway up the ramps. So you need to do it slow enough that you can keep it straight. Actually backing the tractor off the trailer can be just as dangerous if not more than driving on. Hugh is absolutely correct that the proper trailer is essential when hauling a tractor. In my younger days I hauled a few with too little trailer and too little truck. A good heavy trailer with really good ramps and a heavy 3\4 ton or 1 ton truck will make your job much easier and safer. Good luck.
