You have not looked closely at the drawings. The wheels are infuriatingly far to the rear of the trailer. This will make it follow without jack-knifing. more importantly, it will increase the arc needed to turn around. Short turning is what we are trying for.
Tongue weight is also important and will increase with the number of rocks in the trailer.
