You would need too attach too two 3" cross members with a intersecting 3" channel between the cross members for "D" ring attachment. Just guessing here as I've never seen your trailer but just wanted to make you aware that you will most likely be underrated on the "D" rings, more probable than not, for a 5000# tractor.
