At the least use a pulley attached to the front of the trailer bed, a pulley on the front of the dead tractor. Then pull the dead tractor onto the trailer with the tow tractor pulling from the rear of the trailer. The pulley on the front of the dead tractor will give 2X speed reduction and 2x the lbs pull. Pulling from the back will counteract the force of pulling the dead tractor forward.
Best solution by far has already been stated. Use a proper slow speed winch mounted to the front of the trailer. Then better yet add a 2 to 1 pulley on the front of the tractor.
Slow and easy does it.
The Stuck and Troubled section of this site has lots of pictires of yo-yo's who got rammy,cheap and impatient. Then rolled thier tractor while atenting to load it. Often with serious injuries to the operator or bystanders.
And don't think you are too smart to have it happen to you.
