  Choosing the right trailer... HELP !!

I am just north of Detroit. I am considering a JD 4410 that I will use on a recreation property only, This is about 325 miles north of me, approx. 5 hours each way, I would make this trip on average once a month 8 months of the year. The tractor weighs 3,000 # FEL 1,000 # Acessories 1,000 #. I would like to get a regular hitch 7,000 GVWR trailer. I have NEVER pulled anything like this before. I do have a 2002 GMC 3/4 ton duramax, so I am not worried about pulling the weight. When I arrive I have a three mile drive down a very good woods road. I do not want to go to a 10,000 # trailer or a gooseneck. Any input on brand, dealers, websites, brakes or general towing experience will be greatly appreciated, thanx, Dave

  Choosing the right trailer... HELP !!

Thanx for the input, I do not want to go with a gooseneck for many reasons not the least of which is the cost. I also have a hard custom painted bed cover which I do not intend to remove for towing. I do not want to get over a 16' trailer but I may go to a 16' with a 2' dovetail. That is as big as I want to go as I have to travel down three miles of woods trails. I have considered leaving it there but it really makes little sense to me to spend over $20,000 on a tractor and then leave it sit outside, My proprty is gated inside of a 31,000 acre tract that is gated as well so security is a minimal issue Vs. the weather. I am looking into the possability of a temporary vinyl quanset style garage. Does anyone have any trailer brand or dealer recommendations ? Thanx, Dave
