If by "car hauler" you mean a trailer that has tandem axles with 5-lug wheels, then your total load trailer plus tractor would be around 7000lbs, and at that weight you are right at the rated limit of the tires and axles. Less if the trailer is old and fatigued.
As these trailers tend to weigh 1500-2000lbs empty, you are looking at a tractor that runs in the 5000-5500lb range.
Generally speaking 7000lbs is the limit of what's "comfortable" behind a half ton truck for most people. Unless you have one of those super duper half ton trucks with the big engine and extra payload package. Farmers tend to be bolder, don't mind taking it slower, don't mind pushing the limits.
I'm not talking "safe" or "legal" here. I'm talking COMFORTABLE. A sketchy load is no fun to haul on a regular basis. I've done sketchy loads but they were short distance and one time. Dragging a tractor back and forth 100 miles, I would want it to be as comfortable as possible.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
