Mark, I've dragged lots of stuff home, some trailers, some flat-bed trucks, others on tow-bars. Any car-hauler trailer will work. U'haul's has a "Surge" brake, that works off the hitch pressure when stopping, needs no control in truck. Problem with those, is they usually don't have the full width bed. If this tractor has wide front, you may be OK, but narrow front won't have a bed to drive on if you see what I mean. You need a flat-bed, full width. Biggest problem I've seen with most loads is poor tie-downs. Get good chains, straps, and load binders for chains and set all brakes on tractor, and in gear and maybe even a block of wood or something behind wheels. Make sure it's anchored to good spots on trailer, not the rails if equipped. I usually take backroads, not too small so I can go slower and out of way if problems pop-up. Never interstates, sometimes State highways. About 45mph is good. Your truck should work fine as long as brakes and hitch are OK. Good Luck! A flat-bed truck works too, if you have ramps and can drive it on. Parking in ditch to load/unload makes it lower to ground at back of bed too. Wouldn't need very big unit for small tractor. Bigger than a 1-ton though, or at least a BIG one-ton!
