I have hauled my tractors up to 52hp on my common everyday 16' tandem axle flatbed (with side rails....for strength). It has dual 3500lb axles and I have hauled a cord of green oak and my latest was a 4600 Ford about 300 miles. It (the tractor) weighs about 5000" with the rops and top. Didn't even know it was back there...pretty much. They are common in N. Texas and maybe your area too. I paid $600 for mine lotta years ago but still they would be your most economical choice (I think) and are very reliable. I made ramps for mine so that I can easily drive my stuff on. I also sometimes haul 3ea 5x6 round bales of hay and that is around a 5000 lb load. Pulled with 1/2 ton p/u's with no problem. My current 360 Dodge automatic is the best puller I ever had. It can really pull that load and not worry about it. But..... you need to check on brakes. Some states have funny laws. Mine has no brakes (not required) so the truck has to do the stopping and when you are hauling you need to keep that in mind....drive defensively knowing that in a tight you are going to need extra room to stop....course I don't drive 70 mph either....more like 45 to 50.
