first thing, check your figures, as i see it your "grand total" is pushing 5800 lb not 5244 lb. (i think the tire weight is per tire).
as for the bh90 weight, i have it written down somewhere but couldn't find it at arms reach but remember it being about 2000 lb (this includes the subframe that was attached to your tractor, easily forgotten about additional weight).
now for trailering. i built my 16' trailer to carry my 2910 with backhoe and loader. i used 3500 lb axles (7000lb trailer). it worked great for that smaller tractor. but this year i purchased a kubota L3830 with loader and backhoe etc. after all the agony about rebuilding my trailer or just buying a new gooseneck, i rebuilt. i spent around $1400.00 for new 6000lb axles with electric breaks, four new 2880 lb rated wheels (i already had the proper tires very expensive) and a new bulldog coupler on trailer. i still need to purchase a $300 equalizing hitch for my truck!!!!
i position the tractor with the loader lifted above the tongue high enough to miss the truck bed in a tight turn. the hoe nests just right between my upright ramps while trailering.
my total dead weight: tractor with hoe and loader is just under 11000 lb (including the sprung weight of the trailer, at 2600 lb easily forgotten about weight again) i place the tractor on the trailer in a position that transfers 950 lb of tongue weight to the truck.
all weighing was done on government scales. i had to be very careful with all this because i pull this for now with my GMC 1500 Z71 4x4. it trailers perfect 0-55 mph, that is fast enough.
you need to do everything associated with the trailer correct, just ask your insurance company. i had to purchase separate insurance to cover the TRACTOR if i have an accident while towing. the insc co stated if anything on the TRAILER is found to be substandard to D.O.T. they will not pay if i have an accident.
it took a lot of time and energy to put it all togeather. hind sight, maybe spending a little more money for the new gooseneck would have allowed spending more time with the family.
by-the-way it looks funny pulling this much weight with a receiver/bumper hitch.
good luck.
