DOT could get on your case if they think you're commercial, but that's not the issue. If you don't look overweight they won't bother you, unless the officer is a farm boy that grew up on IH tractors, and knows the weight.
The issue here is you're going to be borderline on the trailer capacity, and borderline on the truck capacity.
Your trailer has two 7000lb axles under it, plus the tongue can support some weight too, 10-15%. Figure 10% or 1,400lbs, and you can run 15,400lbs on that trailer without overloading anything.
If the trailer is long enough, you can park the tractor in just the right place to get the balance so you're not overloading the truck. Just enough weight to keep it from swaying.
That one axle brake thing bothers me, though. I'm surprised states allow that.
The 6.0L engine on the truck just means you won't be able to go as fast. If you don't have some ridiculously steep hills on back roads to climb, you'll just go a little slower...
Heck, if the hill is that steep, go to low range on the 4x4, or unload the tractor and drive it to the top. Are you in a hurry?
