"Sure you can!" these guys proclaim, then go on to show a picture of a trailer with the biggest heaviest old truck axle under it that you've ever seen.
The OP has yet to answer the question: WHAT TRAILER? Most commercially-built single axle trailers have axles under them that are rated for 3500lbs or less. It's rare for single axle trailers to have a 5000, 6000, or even 7000lb rated axle under them. Usually they will put two 3500lb axles under a trailer first, as tandem axle trailers are more stable generally speaking.
For sure it would be overloading any trailer with a 3500lb axle. Whether that's a problem for you, is up to you. If the trailer and tires are in good shape, and you don't hit any big potholes, or encounter any other difficult road conditions, you would be okay for a short slow trip.
However if you plan on hauling the tractor hundreds of miles like this, reconsider.
