If you have to ask...
Quick google search shows it is 5397 lbs, more than 25% over what the trailer is rated for.
To each their own but I think it would be a bad idea. First off, there's no way to know what the trailer designer's margin of error was. Secondly, if something happens, whether to your own property or someone else's, I could see insurance rejecting claims or lawyers going after you for negligence based on your exceeding the trailer's ratings.
If you do it any way, keep a close eye on trailer wheels, brakes and bearings. My guess is that would be the weak link.
