What sort of tow hitch weight are we talking with a mini loaded,or is a 4 wheel trailer better*wink*

no more than your tow vehicle can take!!

You move the load about to set the nose weight *happy*

Generally, you want 150-200lbs tongue weight. Less than that, and the trailer doesn't want to track. More than that, and you start raising the front of the tow vehicle and endanger steering.

Was looking at one about the sme size as a mini,so not really able to shift car about..

Suppose if it's real heavy could put a old engine in the boot to counter balance

you can always move the load about... a few inches either way makes a big difference!
