You are smart to do the math first and ask questions. You saved yourself a big headache. Just ignore the "advice" about not getting stopped for weight violations. It's great sport in my state and many others.

Here's another approach. It's expensive but solves a lot of problems. Call the national moving truck rental outfits. Find out what it would cost to rent a small moving truck and car hauler. They won't let you off the lot with a mismatched tow vehicle/trailer. If you fry the AT or have other problems, they aren't your problems. Get the damage insurance they offer. Load the tractor and drive around town a bit the day before you will leave on the trip. Practice backing, turning, braking in a large parking lot. Become aware of those nasty overhead objects at gas stations etc. They have signs and the rental truck has a height marked on it. Take your time on the trip and be very aware of high lateral winds. Box vans get moved around quite a bit and you have to pay attention.
