Have you measured the width of the tractors? Will they even fit on the trailer? Those W9s are heavy tractors, is the trailer rated for that much weight? Does your tow vehicle have the proper towing capacity? If the answers to all of the above are yes then go for it. A come-a-long will work just fine for pulling the tractor onto the trailer, it's slow, but I have done it that way. You really need some kind of ramps for the trailer, you also need to place blocks under the rear of the trailer, otherwise the rear of trailer will go down, which in turn will raise the front of the trailer up, and you will lift the entire rear axle of the tow vehicle completely off the ground, which can become very interesting real fast. Don't ask me how I know.
