The strap for tiedown is a nice touch.

I know that trailer well, I have the closed-side version of it, 70TV from Big Tex. It's a 7000 lb. trailer, with a curb weight (open side) probably around 1600 lb.... so 5400 lb. max payload.
Anyone care to hazard a guess at the weight of that dozer?
I almost assume this must be photoshopped.

Based on the shape and characteristics it's likely a Cat D1-D3. Operating weight 18k to 21K.
It does look like it might be photoshopped.

Likely, but one could argue either way.
The tongue is bent upward suggesting huge weight has been on on that trailer sometime. But the tires don't look compressed.
Now if the photo showed the tow vehicle is a Jeep ....

Hard to say with the tires buried in the grass like that but they don't look as flat as one would expect. Could be photoshopped. Also wouldn't be surprised someone did it for real...

It does seem very unlikely that an owner wouldn't also own a suitable trailer.

Well, maybe it isn't Photoshopped. Here's a clearer version:
And if you go here you can blow it up even better:
Trailer appears hooked to a dumptruck. The front tire on the trailer and the tongue do show some stress.
