Demonstrate Incorrect Loading (Too Far Forward)

What happens here

To illustrate improper weight distribution, load a Bobcat S185 skid steer onto the trailer by driving it too far forward. Observe how this excessive forward weight causes the truck's front end to lift noticeably, reducing steering control and braking efficiency. The trailer's front tires will appear more compressed, while the rear tires might seem lighter. This 'nose-high' stance indicates too much tongue weight and makes the entire rig unstable, especially at highway speeds. A perfectly balanced setup should maintain a level profile.

Goal: Load a skid steer too far forward on the trailer to demonstrate how excessive tongue weight lifts the front of the tow vehicle, creating a dangerous 'nose-high' condition.
