| Post subject: | H Trailer ?? |
I'm have a 14x7 trailer now that I pull my buggy on but I have to back on it to keep it from swaying on me. It's not that big of a deal but but add that it was made to hold a backhoe and comes in 3x the buggy lbs. And me pulling with a V6 it's time to lose the weight. I'm wanting to build a H trailer and try to cut my weight in half or more. So has anyone pulled a water pumper on a h or t trailer ? Will I still fight the swaying problem I have now ?? I know all the ones I have seen the axle is in front of the back tire but with the added pounds on the back would putting the axle in the behind or right under the tire help me and keep the swaying down ? Any input or info you guys can give would be great |

ive had a T trailer and now have a H trailer and i pefer the H trailer 10 to 1 over the T trailer,if you are building new keep the rear tires of the buggy as close as possible to the back edge of the trailer fenders but if the axle is wide enough for the rear tires on the buggy a lot of guys park right over the centerline of the axle but i wouldnt recomend going any farther forward. my2cents |

How much Tongue weight do you have on the trailer with the buggy on the trailer forwards. Your problem might just be the Axle needs to be moved back. I have a very simple trailer but I have the Axle 2/3 of the way toward the back. If I remember correctly, I think your tongue weight should be around 10% of your load. |

Tongue weight is the problem with pulling on my back tires are about a foot and a half behind the last axle and I have pulled it that way and done good but it sways really back around 18 wheeler I know I want to go with a H trailer to lost the weight just don't want to run in to the same problem I have now and want to make sure I put the back wheels and the axle in the right spot to make the tongue weigh right and it pull good with out swaying |

Well my trailer is a tandem axle 16ft. And my buggy is a heavy cast Watercooled buggy. But I have about 10 lbs of tounge weight with only the buggy on it, then load my gear in front of the buggy, tows great. And all my trips are long distance. As far as my rear wheels they are right behind my rear trailer wheels. My advise would be move the buggy as far forward as you can and make enough room for some tools or camping gear for balest. Then you can adjust as needed. And my wheels are also about 70% back on the trailer. |

I'm fine with backing on for long trips that's not a problem. I'm even thinking about adding to the front so I can pull up more I could add 12-18" no problem. But I would like to lose about a 1000 lbs to help my V6 out some on day trips I have about 3 places to ride with in a hour of the house plus I have been running in some mud drags to so it would be nice to have a lite trailer I could pull on and go. |
