I don't know much about hauling them, but I grew up driving those tractors. One of the Farmall super A's we turned the axle upside down and drove it backwards as a buckrack when we stacked loose hay.

Ahhhh the good ole days fond memories.

Great photos guys.

I have a Massey Ferguson 231 with Endloader and box blade and bought the trailer below to haul it, bummper-pull low boy. It als has water ballast in the tires, weighs in around 8000 lbs with the extras. No problem haling it out to West Texas, Big Bend area. My wood was not treated, so I have painted & caulked it it a lot. It has a few low spots that did not drain and got some small rot going. I put some 1/8" steel plate over one small area. I am coating the bottom side with used motor oil, a messy job.
I used chains and binders to haul it, but could have had some better binders, I think. At any rate, hope to not have to haul it again any time soon.
You should be fine!
