I'm assuming that everything is rated equal or better than your axles putting your trailer at 7.000 W's. Take off 1500 to 2000 for the weight of the trailer giving you a usable load of 5,000 - 5,500 #'s. Add in 10% of the weight that should be resting on the hitch and your about at yout limit.

a 3/4 ton pickup should be fine just check the trucks load capacities - most important you want e;ectronic brakes on all 4 wheels that are properly working.

With most row crop tractors have 34" row spacing - some smaller and some wider. Normal trailers with side walls can carry a load up to 78" wide. This translated into 30' row spacing - 60" on center tire to tire for a total with of 72" assuming 12" tires and 3" on each side. Can you say tight but it will work.

I'd ask the guy your picking up the tractor from to measure the with and possibly ask him to move in the rear tires. This is probably not an easy task as the bolts have long ago rusted in place.
