If your tow vehicle will carry the weight, 15% is better than 10%. Mossroad is right about the 10-15% of the trailer weight to be tongue weight. That also would give you the tongue weight. If you go to a scale, weigh your tow vehicle without the trailer attached and then attached. You'll be going to a commercial scale, or check the owner's manual, for weight of trailer with saw head. Posted below is how to weigh the tongue of the trailer using your bathroom scale. Interested in thoughts in general but specifically if there is anyone who owns this unit I would be interested in your experience. To my eye it seems like just forward of the wheels would make more sense. To put it in a different position would only require drilling a new set of holes.although the side plates and bed rails were extremely hard and even with a heavy duty drill it is hard work. I have not had it out on the highway yet. I've got a customer support question in asking them to address this. To me this looks like a recipe for fishtailing. The trailer itself is very heavy but so is the saw head unit and as you can see, it sits way back on the trailer and well beind the wheels. Pictured below is what it looks like in the lock down position. You have to drill the holes in the side plates of the trailer for the pins. ![]() The manual very clearly and specifically states that the position on the trailer is 19 inches forward of the rear of the trailer. ![]() But, the saw head unit, which rides on rails, is locked in place with 4 pins during transportation. ![]() We got it all assembled and running this weekend and everything went well and it works great. I just received a Woodland Mills HM126 Woodlander XL which is their HM126 sawmill on a 16.5 foot trailer plus about 4 feet of trailer tongue.
