Sounds like it will work fine. Your mower weighs 1,120#. I do all the maintenance for a small mowing company here in my area and have a Wildcat brochure in front of me. They run Ferris IS2000Z ZTR's with 25 Kaw's and 61" decks. The trailers he uses are 5x8 and have 1,500# axles and have a load limit of 1,150#. The mowers run right at 1,200# so there is no room to add other items to the trailer and he is actually over by 50#. By the way he uses aluminum ramps, no fold down gates. Anyway these trailer with little 8" wheels have done fine for him for 5 years now. The only thing I have ever done to the trailers is re-wire them, put new deck boards on, and repack the bearings after both trailers were completely covered for 2 days in a flood last spring.

By the way the reason your trailer has a 2150# limit is the tires. The trailer probably weighs 600# so with the right tires you could haul 2,900#. This would probally require new fenders because the wheels and tires would have to be a larger size than is on there now. They went with the small tires on the large axle when building the trailer because the only other option from a 3,500# axle is a 1,500# axle which on that trailer would only leave 900# limit, much too little.
