</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Now, I fully understand your point of trailer and vehicle being level as being a starting point for trailer loading. But, if you accomplish this with to much weight at the rear of the trailer this can lead to trailer sway. (You already indicated ( The rear of the truck sits way low, the front is way high, and the front wheels don't steer or brake worth a darn 'cuz of this. ) which can be caused by excessive tongue weight percentage or excessive payload - tongue weight is payload)
With all of that said, from my understanding, it is best to have a level trailer and tow vehicle with about 10-15% of trailer weight being tongue weight. With the size of vehicle that you are towing with, the manf. recommends a WD hitch. If you are willing to take the risk, then so be it, do as you wish. )</font>
NEVER said level BEFORE loading was my final goal. DEFINITELY dont want to end load the rig to achieve this either.
ALSO I dont plan on hauling my tractor along with dirt together at once without some serious adjustments. i.e. WD or larger tow vehicle.
General: If anyone else can find a loophole in what they think I AM THINKING I want to do with MY trailer, please feel free to bring that up too. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif. I will do my best to justify that too. Wheew! Makes me want to shred my new hitch and post a picture with my promise never to use a regular hitch for any prupose again.
