Precisely! If all you were going to haul was your TLB maybe you'd want the axle further back to compensate for the hoe.

I think general purpose trailers are built to the 40/60 configuration so that if one places a uniformly weighted load, say a stack of lumber from front to back, the tongue weight will be generally correct.

For me uniform loads are the exception not the rule so I always pay attention to weight distribution while loading.
