It says clearly you need commercial Class A CDL for that.
You need a CDL only if the combined weight rating of the trailer and the tow vehicle is greater than 26,000 pounds. It is legal to pull a trailer of more than 10,000 pounds weight rating without a CDL (in any state, in as much as the CDL requirements are set at the federal level) if the tow vehicle is small enough. Don't ask me why it's set up that way; I do not know.
