Yeah, if he could get all the way to the back and it still
left a bit of weight on the tongue (but unloaded it just
enough that a skinny guy like me could lift it up to hitch
it to the car), that's probably closer to optimum. If the
front started lifting up as he passed the axle, that was
loaded a bit too tail-heavy.
