It will work until the first time you go through a scale and you get a ticket for 11k over on your trailer axle.

It looks like tandem axle is 18,000kg there, 19,100kg for spread, but I'm not familiar with Canada's laws enough to say for sure. It might be easier to use the metric system instead of converting to US measurements. -
I've seen these setups around, and unless you're only running small, lightweight units, you're going to end up overloading the drives. -
