As someone in aviation industry, I would recommend P/S 890 B pro-seal as the sealant. Which is designed specifically for jet fuel/diesel tank sealant. It's a little bit pricy 2 part sealant but it'll definitely last forever.

I bought the rhino with the added attachment for the backhoe cover.....but I ended up not installing it because the pieces did not line up, like the holes were not drilled right. So I use it just over the main part of the tractor. I am saving up for a metal one that has lights already integrated. Dont know that they will ever be used as I dont do a lot at night but who knows. better to have and not need than to need and not have in my opinion.

An additional point.... it is desirable to have a tongue weight of 10 - 15% of your trailer gross weight. This weight is borne by the tow vehicle, and thus does not count toward the trailer's gross weight. For example with your 7,000 lb trailer, if your trailer, tractor, and implements weigh a total of 7,000 pounds, and you have loaded it so that the tongue weight is 15% (1,050 lbs) you actually have a trailer gross weight of 5,950 lbs (7,000 - 1,050). This gives you more latitude to haul a bit more weight.
