2000 4x4 ranger

I have a 2000 4x4 ranger 3.0 flex fuel with automatic transmission, I have hauled small john boats, and atv's but I want to haul my tractor this weekend down to deer camp to bush hog the field. It has a class III reciever on it mounted to the frame. tractor weighs about 3000lbs and trailer about 1500 lbs.
Can this truck pull this kind of weight without damaging the driveline? I always disconnect o/d when towing also. any info appreciated



thanks,
79possum250

Thanks for the reply, just needed someone to talk me out of it. My 79f250 is down right now. No sense in tearing the ranger up.
