[QUOTE="Schifference, post: 126912, member: 19406"] Sound advice! I haven't towed this since I brought it home. I am curious how it pulls with only 2 axles. I think in the next couple of days I will have the opportunity to pull it again. I am going to take it to a local transfer station and will get a combination weight of truck and trailer. So at least I will know what trailer weighs empty. I know it was scary towing it home the day I got it. I do like your concept for getting the proper axle placement. I don't know if I am going to actually do it. Yesterday I purchased a 21K Lamar gooseneck dump triaxle. Recently I got rid of a 7,000 pound auto trailer that I used extensively for 10 years. It was not heavy duty enough for things I was carrying. I also purchased a hydroseeder that came on an 18 foot Load Trail flatbed that has (2) 8,000# axles. It needs new wood floor because it was always getting wet but that trailer is stout and pulls like a dream. I plan to keep it. I am thinking of putting the hydro equipment on the 9 ton and position the weight so it has tongue weight. Furthermore I have a 30 foot deck over Gooseneck that is just too big for my needs that I am going to sell. So once my grass is all done I will sell the 9 ton with hydroseeder and the 30 foot gooseneck leaving me with the pull behind 18' load trail, and the Lamar dump. Between those two trailers I can carry anything I own. I do like that concept of how to balance the trailer. You taught me something valuable. I still might do that! I want to know what that trailer weighs as it sits. That trailer is not pretty today. I plan to hit it with the pressure washer and zero degree rotating nozzle and roll a fresh coat of paint on it.
