I agree. Unless you've done a lot of trailering it is easy to get in a world of hurt. I have 1/2 ton Dodge pickup with a receiver hitch that I have used to take my 'h' to shows.
I took a couple of 2x8's laid them on the trailer backed the tractor on and set it where I wanted it then nailed a couple of blocks to the 2x8's behind the rear tires. This way I can always get the tractor loaded the same way every time.
One trip I was explaining to my wife how important it is to make sure you have it loaded so that you have the proper tongue weight on the truck to maintain control, and on this particular trip I stopped an inch or two from my blocks. As I was explaining this I could feel the back of the truck start to sway a little and she looked in the mirror and pointed to the trailer and thanked me for the visual. Kept my wits about me and regained control of the truck and then continued on to the show. I usually try to stay off the main roads to avoid alot of traffic as I don't try to break any land speed records. 40 -45 is plenty fast enough sometimes even slower than that especially going downhill.
