I haul my JD5420 4WD tractor with 541 loader and bucket on a Econoline deck-over tilt bed conventional tow trailer. Weight of tractor including fuel and balast is 10,250 lbs. I have a titan 2.5" receiver and straight-line cam weight distribution system. I pulled the trailer with my 1997 F250 and never felt comfortable. With the 2008 F350 Dually, I feel completely in control of the load, but a gooseneck would probably feel even better. I think that you will want a little more truck (F350 Dually) to feel 100% comfortable even with a gooseneck.

FYI, the integrated brake controller tow command on the 2008 and up is AWESOME for control. Never an anxious moment with this set-up.
