My car hauler has tandem 7000 lb axles and is rated for a maximum cargo weight of 12600 lbs.
If you start with that 12600 as the maximum then factor in what your unknown to us truck is rated for you will have your answer regarding weight.
Next is size, unless the tractor you want to haul is quite narrow the rear wheels will not fit between the fenders if driven on facing forward.
Loaded this way a typical car hauler trailer will be so tail heavy it will be unmanageable.
On mine I can remove the jack, unhook the trailer then drive the tractor on from the front, pick the tongue up with a floor jack, re-hook and go with the weight where I need it.
Pulling the trailer with a 1-ton dually I hauled a Case 970 with a loader on it and I would say that it was on the upper limits of what I would comfortably want to have on it.
On a single rear wheel half ton I have pulled some sketchy loads when I was younger, now days in my opinion a typical half ton is best used for pulling boats, golf carts and utility trailers.
There are of course exceptions as some HD 1/2 tons came equipped with 8 bolt wheels, big engines and brakes.
