Hi BTD, I always figure what I'm going to haul. Tractor weighs 5500lbs wet, trailer should weigh about 4000lbs so thats 9500lbs total. A class 3 coupler is not heavy enough for your gross weight.
A 2-5/16" ball coupler would work but just barley as I think most are rated 10,000lbs. So 5th wheel hitch is what your looking at. Also take a look at the tires. If the tires were 235-16 range E then you could get 3000lbs maximum load per tire or 12,000lbs gross for a tandum axle trailer so just making weight with nothing to spare! Axles would be 7,000lb axle or 14,000lb for two axles. The axles should be stamped with load range. Anything less you can get by with but when will it break? I don't know do you?

From this you should be able to tell what you need!
