Hauling the tractor on a low deck trailer isn't that much of an issue
I hauled a New Holland 3930 from Birmingham, Al back to my place west of Fort Knox, Ky with a 1500 Chevy and bumper hitch car trailer
The tractors rear tires were wider than the trailers fenders so I took some 6x6 blocks and 2x6 boards to build a small platform beside the fenders
Drove the tractor on with the back tires resting on the 2x6's that were level with the tops of the fenders
Yes the tractor set high in the back but I was able to position it for proper weight balance and had no issues hauling it home
Your 18 ft trailer will be the issue if the tractor has a loader or implement attached
With a loader and bucket you probably wont get the tractor far enough on the trailer for proper weight balance making it to heavy on the back (this is really bad), backing it on will put to much weight on the tongue
With a rotary mower when you get the load balanced the mowing will probably be hanging off the back of the trailer a couple of ft or more, plus the tractor and mower will be really pushing the weight capacity of that trailer
My figures are with hauling a tractor the size and weight of that 3930 I hauled which is equal to a 65/later 4000 Ford
If the tractor is a smaller size in the 35-40 hp range you have a little more leadway

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let�s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
