Hi If I was you I'd be google searching average sized skid steers you are getting up there in weight with your tractor 9000 lb is the average skid steer weight, I found some are just over 10.000. you don't want to haul a skid steer but it's shorter and the weight could be similar to your longer tractor outfit.
The other thing is does your tractor have fluid in the rear tires as that will be extra again on the weight. To be honest I towed a 20 ft lighter build goose neck, with a Fordson major with loader and fluid in the tires( similar weight to your outfit I'm thinking, plus sometimes lighter tractors without loaders and fluid. I was using a half z71 GMC 4x4 with a 5.7 gas. that was enough for that truck going up and down hills with 2 braked trailer axles. I had more weight on the truck than a bumper pull will have on your suv. I then went to a 99 long box extended cab f250 superduty 7.3 diesel. a bigger built longer trailer and hauled a bigger tractor the first trip, long distance with it.
There is no comparison. I would never tow with the half ton again unless it was the light trailer taking it somewhere empty or bringing it back. My thoughts are get the proper equipment, as if you look overloaded the Dot will always stop you to find out Or if you have an accident if that trailer starts the tail wagging the dog trick, and gets away on you it might end up with wishing you stayed home that day.
