[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 4109902, member: 8481"] Even if it is loaded behind the tandems, you will not lighten the load on the tractor drive wheels much, if any at all. A see-saw works because the fulcrum is in the middle. Put the fulcrum at the 3/4 mark, and you cannot add enough weight to lift the other side. Moving the tandems changes the fulcrum point of the trailer in relation to downward force more so than adding a little extra weight behind the tandems. Changing the tandem position on a 70% trailer, if all the weight is forward of the tandems, will not change the weight on the tractor drive wheels, much, if any at all. [/QUOTE]
