The fenders on that trailer would crumple like used beer cans if you tried to back over them with that tractor...
That trailer is plenty heavy enough... It's got 8-lug wheels, so it's rated for 14,000lbs. Those look like the 4000lb rated rims with the solid centers, so it may be the 16,000lb rated trailer..
All you have to do is get the tractor narrowed up enough to fit between the fenders.
You don't NEED a gooseneck. A gooseneck is nice, but it is not an absolute requirement. Manufacturers wouldn't make heavy bumper pull trailers like yours if you couldn't safely haul heavy loads with them.
Construction companies haul bulldozers, backhoes, and excavators with "bumper pull" style trailers all the time.
As long as the trailer is rated for whatever you're trying to haul, and you've got enough truck up front, bumper pulls are FINE. You want a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck in front of that, at least. A 1/2 ton would work if it was a gooseneck, but it would be about all you wanted to tow.
