Will a smaller skidsteer, like bobcat 743 or 753 work on 12ft dump trailer?

I have a low profile 12ft dump that I want to tow a skidsteer home with. Any idea if this will work. I realize a longer trailer would be better, but this is what I have. Thanks

I have a 12-foot, 14,000-pound PJ dump trailer, and I haul my 4200 John Deere tractor w/ backhoe, (5,000-pounds) don’t even know it’s back there! Of course the bucket hangs over the front, (blocked up) and the doors / tailgate doesn’t quite close.
But it does work.

As long as you have appropriate tie downs, and tires on the dump that are rated for the load, you should be fine.

Do it all the time, but I have a 16ft gooseneck dumper. It hauls it fine, but its not the best riding skidsteer trailer I have towed. Mostly I only put an 1845C in there due to the width of the larger skidsteers.
