Can you tow a backhoe with class b cdl?
Only if the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the trailer is 10,000 lbs. or less. This isn't the actual weight of the trailer - it's the rated weight. So if you're at 9,000 lbs. on a trailer rated for 16,000 lbs., it's still not legal for you.

What is a dual axle trailer rated with a gvwr 36000 and a unladen weight of 4000?
I would question that unladen weight.. the axles alone should be enough to weigh 4000 lbs. As for what the trailer would be rated, I don't understand your question. If it's rated at 36,000 lbs. GVWR, then that's what it's rated at. The weight rating alone is enough to bring any combination that trailer is a part of well over the 26,000 lb. limit for a non-CDL holder, and any combination which includes that trailer is going to require a Class A CDL.

What trailors require a cdl?
A trailer of any weight which carries an amount of hazardous materials that requires the display of placards under the FMCSRAny time the combination of power unit and trailer creates a combination rated at over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and which is not exempt from CDL requirements.CDL requirements are based on the weight ratings of vehicles or combinations of vehicle and trailer. If you attach a trailer rated at 15,000 lbs. to a truck rated at 10,000 lbs, it doesn't require a CDL. If you operate a truck rated at 26,000 lbs., you don't need a CDL. Take that same 15,000 lb. rated trailer off of the 10,000 lb. truck, and put it on the 26,000 lb. rated truck, and you need a Class A CDL to operate that combination.
What is the minimum weight which a trailer or semi-trailer must have?
There is no minimum weight.

Do you need a license to pull a utility trailer?
If the total weight rating of the combination is over 26,000 lbs., then yes, you will. If the trailer itself is rated at over 10,000 lbs., you will need a Class A CDL. If it is rated at under 10,000 lbs., then you would need a Class B CDL. Note that this only applies to combinations over 26,000 lbs. GVWR - you can pull a 15,000 lb. rated trailer behind a 10,000 lb. rated truck with a regular Class C licence, but, if you pulled that same trailer behind a 15,000 (or more) rated truck, you'd be operating a combination rated over CDL weight, and would require a Class A CDL.
