I hate to flame you but a 3500lb tractor on a 1000lb trailer is a LOT more scary than I would want to meet on the road. Just interested what did you use to tie the tractor down? Remember the Working Load Limit on tie downs needs to be 1.5 times the weight of cargo in all directions. WLL is usually about a fourth of the breaking strength.

Other posts are right. If you were have problems with tow vehicle control you need less tongue weight. Negative tongue weight will cause the trailer to sway and with the set up you describe will only scare the #### out of you If you are lucky.
