You didn't ask, but I'll give a little free advice anyway. I've trailered tractors all over the U.S. Do yourself a favor and be sure to get one that is well up to the job, weight and brake wise. If you can swing it, think about a 5th wheel trailer. I've owned both, and my choice for easy, trouble free pulling would be the 5th wheel, hands down. Don't try to save moola on your chains and binders. You DON'T want them coming loose. A friend of mine had a chain break at night when he couldn't see it and it wrapped arround the axle and it managed to throw him, his rig, and a 10,000 pound gas engine right over the bank. Thank God, he wasn't injured, (except maybe his pride), but the engine and rig took a thrashing. Personally, I won't use anything but spring binders and black chain. When I load one, it stays where I put it!
