Assuming you want to haul the tractor a few times a year, looks like you will be shopping for a heavier trailer.
Typically the listed weight for a tracotr is dry weight - no fluids, smallest tire sizes, no attachments. So the tractor likely weighs more than what is rated, depending on loaded tires, filled fuel tank, hyd oil, added tools, etc.
The trailer gross weight means you have to include the weight of the trailer itself - so the load you can place on a 2500 lb trailer is less than 2500 lbs.
Are you going a couple miles on back roads & driving 30 mph? You could probably sneak in one trip to get the tractor home if it doesn't have loaded tires. It would be illegal of course, and insurance and DOT will have a fit if anything goes wrong. And speed will bend the heck out of your trailer - I mean it with drive slow. Not that you should do this anyhow.
If you are going 100 miles and planning to haul the tractor often, then just trade for a better trailer before you wreck it.
