Tongue weight

[Greg. Avery]

I have a Maga 17 & am wondering what the tongue weight should be (be nice guys)

Magna do you know what yours is? Mine was set up at BPS in Springfield & is 218 lbs.

This sounds like a lot of weight although it tows fine but is hard to move around.

Depending on where your axle is set, usually the tongue weight is approximately 1/10 the overall weight of your rig. So if your rig is around 2100 lbs, then I'd say 218 is right on. Put again, it depends on where your axle is set. If it's further back, then the tongue weight will be even more. Closer up and it's less. Make sense?

 

[Greg. Avery]

Yes, Rob this makes sense. The rig was set up at Tracker so I should hope it is right. It

is hard to push around in the garage , maybe I an just getting old LOL. Tows fine so I

guess I maybe should leave well enough alone.

Oh by the way TIN RULES
