I can relate to the safety implications of not having the load properly balanced. I have pulled trailers a lot of miles behind my pickup, yet a few weeks ago I rented a bobcat (skid loader) from a local rental place to do some dirt work. They have their own trailer specifically built to haul the rig. The trailer is home-made, and exactly the correct length to haul it and no room to shift the load. I had a bad feeling when I started to leave and my back pickup tires were spinning in gravel just getting it started underway. This told me the load was off balance to the rear by a fair amount, but there was not much I could do without adding weight to the pickup bed. I made the 35 or so mile trip and back, but at any speed above 50 mph the trailer would begin to fish-tail nearly out of control, and any grade off pavement required that I use 4 wheel Drive to move it due to the lack of weight on my rear wheels. I am amazed someone has not lost control of that loader and trailer especially considering most who rent it are probably inexperienced at towing. I knew better, yet nearly lost it myself.
