- owner of a small sand gravel backhoe and dozer ser
I have a tri axle factory built trailer that has had a deck and dove tail added on it to make it a backhoe trailer . It seems to be to lite in the front and when loaded with the backhoe it tends to want to fish tail about 40mph .
What my question is
Would it be better to just add weight in the front or move the axles back aways to give it tongue weight ? :beatsme
I have added gravel in the dump truck when I pull the backhoe down the road and it pulls better , but I dont want to carry rock every where I go . I have tried different ways on possitioning the hoe on the trailer (tilting front loader bucket one way or another to get more of the hoe towards the front of the trailer) and it seems to help a little but its still not right .
I will post pics later of it so you can see the trailer to give a better idea of what Im talking about .
Thanks in advance ,
Wingnut
