You are talking about a loader-hoe that weights at least 10,000 lbs., correct? An empty trailer with a least a gross/loaded weight of 14,000 lbs. is going to weigh around 4000 lbs. empty. So, you are thinking of pulling over 14,000 lbs. (with the spade) with at best, a light-duty 3/4 ton Suburban? Not something I'd ever try.
I have two backhoes I'd love to be able to move myself. A Deere 300B and an IH 3414. Both around the same weight as what you have. I also have two trailers long enough but they are only rated for 6 tons total. I have a HD 3/4 ton Ford diesel F250 and even with that - not sure if I ought to be pulling any trailer with one of these hoes on it. I know that when I lived in NY with all the hills - the thought never came to mind. Here in northern MI with mostly flat roads - maybe? My truck has a bumper hitch and a gooseneck.
When I was still living in NY, I hired a guy to truck my little Ford 4000 with loader-hoe up to the Adirondacks. That only weighed 9000 lbs. The guy I hired had a F350 dually with a 7.3 diesel and a new bumper-hitch trailer. He did the job for me but when done, he was a nervous wreck and said he'd never do it again.
