Nat, The only way a Farmall M is going to weigh 6,000 lbs is if its loaded down with triple rear wheel weights. M"s sans weights are somewhere around 4.500 lbs. A car hauler rated at 7,000 will handle an M just fine. As to width, most wheels are set at 60" center to center. Add 13 or 15" tire width and you still cant get to 82". A couple of wood planks down the center of the trailer works just fine for accomodating a narrow front end. Most 1/2 ton pickups will handle a 7,000 lb load as it is only 3-1/2 tons. Good trailer brakes and if not a stick shift having a transmission cooler on the truck is about all else necessary to haul over the road. I would be more concerned with trailer length, so that the load can be balanced, which a car hauler allows. Their axle position alloows an M to be loaded so as to balance nicely. If everyone hauled tractors around on a 20" gooseneck or a heavy equipment trailer, we"d see about half as many tractors at the shows that we do now.
