I just saw that on my Popular Mechanics channel. I feel that this is one of those things that dads should teach their boys and should not be one of those things you learn the hard way because the hard way could be deadly. I remember when my Father taught me this. We were loading up his old Ford 4000 tractor and he was going over where to put the weight and why.

I seen this on facebook earlier and saved the link to share here. Such a great way to demonstrate the effects of tongue weight.

I had to learn on my own. Thankfully I read up on everything before I started towing for the first time. My dad never towed anything. We lived in the city and he had no need to tow anything.
