It looks like you legally could, if that is the true weight of your tractor - no fluid, no other implements or much stuff in the back of the pickup. (Probably would actually want a little weight back there as I think about it, you ain"t going to have any braking.....) However, I would not _want_ to with a single axle trailer, as that thing is going to hop & bounce all over the place. This will be the most miserable ride of your life. Also I will assume you don"t have brakes on the trailer, & a couple thousand miles will cost you brake job, if you don"t crash out. Stopping distance will be difficult for you. I assume you will be on the interstates at 70-75, and you are taking everything to the max limits legally. Certainly your call, but I"d look for a different way. Now, if you bought it 100 miles away, then I"d say sure go for it. That"s a nice leasurly trip & you can be careful for 100 miles & not overdo things. --->Paul
