If that's 7k lb. gross trailer, the tractor weighs around 4k lbs wet, and and loader implement with bucket 1700 lbs.
So your new tractor with loader and bucket attached weighs around 5,700 lbs minimum.

Your trailer, if it comes in near what my 7k lbs 18' PJ Trailer car hauler weighs (1700 lbs. empty), then with that tractor/loader on gvw will be 7,400 lbs+, a 7k trailer it will be overloaded by at least 400 lbs. plus what your added 2' of trailer weighs.

Or is the 7k lbs the load capacity of that trailer? I hope so!
Subtract tongue weight from the trailer weight. i.e. 400# on the ball and its within spec.
