Very good point about axle placement. That is the biggest complaint I have heard with tilt deck trailers. It's tough to get the load balanced and tougher with a minimal tow vehicle to not exceed the too much tongue weight issue.

Just an FYI, As Chris and others have mentioned that axle placement on a tilt bed is important.
My 22' PJ tilt bed is hinged toward the back. Axle placement is in line with a non tilt trailer.
On my previous H&H tilt bed the axles were further forward but with a 20' deck I had plenty of room to balance the load. Attached are my PJ and H&H. I'd guess the PJ is a 60/40 placement maybe more. The H&H was maybe 55/45. H&H is the one with 5 lug wheels. I have not had any problem balancing a load on either trailer.
