 Buying a trailer

I trailered a 1070 w FEL, 4x110# rear wheel weights, and an implement on the 3pt (could have been a blade, soil pulverizer, etc -- usually around 150# to 400#). Then i went to a 4700 with same attachments.
Used a car haul trailer -- dual axles of 3500#, 16' with 82" width, wood planck floor, 2" ball, passenger car tires, detachable ramps, behind a F150.

The trailering was 20 miles max maybe 8 trips max per year.
I got by. But the load was probably 5500#, more than what the trailer or the truck was suited for. Had to be real careful to get the load positioned on the trailer properly to avoid fishtailing. Drove <45 mph, etc.
Any greater usage would necessitate a bigger trailer for sure. My rear wheel positioning is wide (position 5 of 8),and they were a squeeze to fit between the wheel fenders.
