Merk my trailer I think is road worthy for 1 ton!
Best to know what your trailer can handle and not think.

A things to consider....
Total weight includes the weight of the trailer.

Any trailer in the state of Ohio with a 2000 pound weight limit requires brakes on the trailer. A Cub Cadet 71 weighs 550 pounds with no weight or attachments. Most of the trailers posted in this topic are lucky to handle 2 Cubs.
Each tractor should have 4 seperate tie downs. Wraping a strap around the dash tower is poor set up.
Connecting a strap to a 3 point hitch is a poor set up too.
