I have done a lot of trailer towing also, and completely agree with the previous posters. You need to consider the weight of your tractors. I am assuming the JD A is close to 6000 lbs and the 60 weighs even a bit more. The B will be quite a bit lighter at about 3000, maybe less. I really doubt that your 'burb is rated to tow anyway near 10,000. The hitch may be rated for that, but the 'burb's brakes, tranny, cooling, springs, tires, and axle ratio will be the reason for a lower limit. You need to determine what the GM listed max trailer load for that vehicle really is...and it differs with many factors including year of Manuf. I would suspect the total towed weight is listed at about 8000. This means one tractor + weight of trailer. So now you need to decide whether you are going to get a heavier tow vehicle (1 ton minimum size of the big 3 brands) and a big gooseneck trailer, or use the 'burb and be satisfied with what you can haul.
I went with a used Ford 350 diesel because I do a lot of towing. It is rock solid steady on the highway, even pulling my 37 ft 12500 lb 5th wheel camper trailer. Years ago I had a half ton truck to pull my 6000 lb travel trailer with normal "bumper pull" hitch. I had the premium antisway hitch, but it was a white knuckle ride all the way. I'll never again pull with a half ton with squishy tire sidewalls, soft comfortable springs and small brakes.
The trailer you describe will be a nightmare. Today's laws require all wheels to have brakes, those won't. They can not hold any kind of alignment, and will scrub off tires quickly. It may be a good off road trailer to haul hay from the field to the barn, but I would not consider it for road use. It will be all over the road, sometimes in the same lane you intend to drive in, sometimes in another lane. You will soon hate it. It is now somebody else's headache.

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. 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
