U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT
options might be to use a 3/4" plywood ramp reinforced with 4 x 4's. 4 of them as stringers like Mark mentioned should be plenty to hold the weight of the tractor but take it slow anyway to see if it will support the load.
Chief
==============
Might be a good idea to test the ramps first by laying a couple of 4x4s under each end of the ramps on a level surface and driving the tractor over them.
I would rather have a ramp collapse when I'm 4'' above the ground rather than half way up onto a truck.

I don't know what sort of floor you will find in a U-Haul truck. The slide-back/flatbed wrecker is the way to go for both loading and unloading.

Finding a decent used one would also be ideal for the hauling too.
Now it you could get it with a dump bed too it would be the prfect set up.

U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT
U-haul has an Auto Transport Trailer that looks ideal (see link below); but I've been told they won't rent it out for anything but car transport. The 800 number people said they want the vehicle registration number on the vehicle to transport before they will take a reservation. When I said tractor they freaked. When I said big lawn mower they suggested a small utility trailer. This idea doesn't look promising.
JParker
====================
We have a rent it place here that has 3 Terramite Tractors they rent out.
They haul the Terramite on a trailer that is the same length as the tractor.They tow this with a flat bed or dump bed truck like the Ford F 350.
The trailer is different than most trailers. It's not a tilt bed and no loading ramps are needed.
The bed lowers clear down flat with the ground or pavement so you just drive straight onto the trailer.
Anyone have a trailer like this?
If U Haul won't rent you a trailer try an equipment rental place.

All in all, I think either a trailer and good heavy truck or a roll back are the way to go.
JParker
===============
The real way to go would be a 12 to 14 foot roll back that dumps too on a truck comparable to a Ford F350.

PS
I would love to have a truck like this.
It would be ideal for transporting my Kubota BX 23 and for hauling sand gravel slag dirt etc.
My objection about a pick up and a trailer is you have to buy insure license store and maintain 2 vehicles to haul one tractor and you still don't have anything to haul sand gravel slag dirt etc. with.

"I would love to have a truck like this."
The good thing is it's out there. One guy's dream is another guy's mistake. Isn't the marketplace a great, well oiled machine? Could you imaging living in a place where some bureaucrat decided which truck or which tractor we could buy?
Dave
=================
It is!
Where?
I've never seen or heard of a bed that rolls back & dumps too:
