If the foreman is heavier it should be loaded onto the trailer so that it is closer to the tow vehicle.

load the atvs on the trailer then put scale under tounge to get weight ,10% to 15% total of total weight trailer an atvs that should tell u where to load atvs ,might have to load heavier one over axle even if it's sidewise to trailer .to much tounge weight and it will affect your tow vehicals braking and steering.

well I have owned several trailers over the years. And one thing all the manufacturers have been consistent with it to make sure you put the majority of the weight forward on the tongue rather than behind the axles. Also they suggest you have a level trailer, and always start every trip/season with a bearing grease session and air the tires to max rating.
