That trailer is too short. You need a trailer that is long enough to allow you to position the tractor so that the weight is centered slightly ahead of the center of the trailer axles. Doing it this way will result in the smoothest ride, and put enough weight on the tow vehicle hitch to keep it all stable. The 12 ft. trailer will put too much weight on the tow vehicle, resulting in a very rough ride, and you don't want to hang the loader bucket out over the hitch because you might run out of room while making sharp turns. Trailers of that size and capacity are not terribly expensive to start with, I suggest that you visit a few places that sell new trailers and check out the prices before you buy a used trailer.
