JT, Lots of Companies make trailers. Especially
the 16 ft. style you will need to haul a tractor
the size you are talking about.
Make sure the hitch is a HD Bulldog and not the
light duty style that some have. Also consider
haveing drop legs put on the back of the trailer
to support the tractor at the point when it is half on and half off the trailer. It will take a lot of strain on the ball & coupler. I help a friend of mine from time to time. We load a
Melroe Bobcat on a 16 ft. trailer . With out the drop post the back of the trailer will almost touch the ground. So IMO drop legs are essential.
Also two 10 ft, 3/8 chains ,and two Boomers to secure the tractor to your trailer and you are good to go! Forget about Straps!!!!!
Good luck
John A.
