Before I got my deck over I used a low bed (fendertrailer) for all my tractors under 6,000 pounds. Still use it for the skinny's. Because some tractors would go only to the fenders, as Tom says you will require ballast. I used a clean "liquid bulk container" (forklift compatible) which is a heavy sealable plastic/poly box inside a heavy wire basket about 4x4 ft in size.
Empty it's relatively easy for one man to get off and on the front of an empty trailer. Upon loading a tractor you add water as counterbalance weight. Better more water than not enough because you can drain to adjust the overburden as you feel out the ride. Get to where you are gonna get to with the tratcor and then after unloading the tractor and in a suitable place, drain the ballast. Some of those liquid bulk containers have internal baffels to limit sway as the liquid can move. Mine does not have baffels however I only had water in it when I was loaded so the water had very little effect on the ride home or whereever. Easy to store when empty. Hope this helps.
