Trailblazer's rated for 5000lbs towing, IIRC. A bare, dry H with no gas, no oil, no fluid in the tires, no wheel weights, weighs around 4000lbs, IIRC. A typical car hauler trailer with a 7000lb GVWR weighs around 2000lbs. This is the BARE MINIMUM trailer you would want to use to haul an H. Combined, you're looking at about 6000lbs, which is 1000lbs more than your Trailblazer is rated for. It will work for short hauls that only happen once in a while as long as you take it slow and easy. However, if you're planning on dragging the tractor hundreds of miles at a time, you will destroy your Trailblazer, and you may very well cause a wreck on the highway. A bare, dry M weighs around 6000lbs, IIRC. No way you can haul it with your Trailblazer and a car hauler. You need at least a 3/4 ton truck and a 10,000lb GVWR "deckover" style flatbed trailer if you want to haul the tractor without having to remove an entire wheel and flip it around every time you load and unload.
