Hauling the tractor on a low deck trailer isn't that much of an issue
I hauled a New Holland 3930 from Birmingham, Al back to my place west of Fort Knox, Ky with a 1500 Chevy and bumper hitch car trailer
The tractors rear tires were wider than the trailers fenders so I took some 6x6 blocks and 2x6 boards to build a small platform beside the fenders
Drove the tractor on with the back tires resting on the 2x6's that were level with the tops of the fenders
Yes the tractor set high in the back but I was able to position it for proper weight balance and had no issues hauling it home
Your 18 ft trailer will be the issue if the tractor has a loader or implement attached
With a loader and bucket you probably wont get the tractor far enough on the trailer for proper weight balance making it to heavy on the back (this is really bad), backing it on will put to much weight on the tongue
With a rotary mower when you get the load balanced the mowing will probably be hanging off the back of the trailer a couple of ft or more, plus the tractor and mower will be really pushing the weight capacity of that trailer
My figures are with hauling a tractor the size and weight of that 3930 I hauled which is equal to a 65/later 4000 Ford
If the tractor is a smaller size in the 35-40 hp range you have a little more leadway

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
