You are luck if you can get land in small tracts for $5000 per acres. Here that would be $25,000 per acre for building tracts and 9-10k for farm land. That is in North-east Iowa.
As for needing a trailer to haul your tractor. Just have a local wrecker service haul it for you on a roll back. A friend of mine has the same restrictions on parking a trailer as you have. He has a deal with a local wrecker service. They deliver it the day before and pick it up the next day. They charge him $350 dollars for anything under 50 miles. That works out much cheaper than him owning a trailer for the 2-3 times each year he needs it moved.
Also try contacting the people that are having the plow day. I would bet that one of the other collectors would be glad to haul your tractor. Especially if you are bringing your son to the plow day. Heck if it is in eastern Iowa, Western WI or North west IL. I would do it for some fuel money. We need to get all of the young guys we can involved.
Another option would be to check out any trailer sales businesses in your area. The ones around me will rent out trailers on a daily or weekly rate. I have rented trailers in the past when we needed one to go to farther away shows and did not want to make two trips.
Also U-Hual is a pain in the butt to deal with any more. They have been sued too many time. So they have many restrictiions on renting anything. I wanted to used a car dolley last year to move my daughter to St. Louis. We where a driver short. Anyway U-haul would not rent me a dolley to pull with my 1 ton Dodge pickup. The reason was the bumper and hitch where home made and did not have the stamping for what weight class the hitch was.
