I move our MH50 on a 7500 lb car hauler trailer. I drive it up the removable ramps with no problem.

It does generally have a mower on the back, so the c.g. has moved to rear all the more. But I've never had a wheelie nor tried for one.

Maybe a lot of the choice has to do with the angle of the beavertail and/or ramps that get used.

I notice most people hauling some of the smaller crawlers on the backs of flatbed trucks back them on, but that's kind of different.

When trailering, you want about 10 per cent of the weight on the tongue. Depending on where the c.g. of your load is, that may help determine which end should go up first.
