There's a reason they list the trailer's gross weight rating at 2990 lbs - trailers over 3000 lbs are required by law to have brakes in most states. Some states have even lower un-braked trailer weight limits. The specification list doesn't say anything about brakes, most likely because it doesn't have them, so the brake controller you should be adding to your truck won't have anything to work with. With wheel weights front and rear your tractor is more like 3000 lbs so the combined trailer and cargo weight would be in the 4000 lbs neighborhood. That trailer would be great for ATV's and garden tractors but what you're considering is grossly exceeding its intended use.
Another problem would be balancing the tractor over a single axle on on such a short trailer. If you drive it on forwards you'd probably have negative tongue weight and if you back it on you'll be too heavy. A 10-ft deck just doesn't give much room to fine-tune the balance, even with a tractor the size of a Farmall A.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
