Jim,
Guy Fay's data book lists the H at 3,725 lbs. "equipped", whatever that means. It was probably an IH term that Guy carried over. Since the trailer is rated for 3,900 lbs., you might be ok IF, and only if, the tractor has no wheel weights and the tires are not liquid filled and there is no additional equipment carried on the trailer. I will also add that I won't pull anything as heavy as a tractor on any trailer that does not have brakes. It's just too dangerous, and I don't want to loose any of my old iron, including what's in my blood. :o)
I don't know any specifics about the deck on the U-Haul trailers. Another consideration is the width that the H will require. I have an M and need a full 84" of trailer to get it on without turning one rear wheel around. At least, you may have to move both rear wheels all the way in, and that can be a tough job.
I think I'd look for a heavier trailer, you'll be pretty close to the U-Haul's limit and if you have a flat or a blowout, do you have a jack and a spare for it? Been there, done that.

My two cents,
Phil
