Chrispitude, it looks like you have a near perfect setup there. You are very close to 100% FALR which, to many of us, is the goal.
As to mkirsh's theory that heavier bars will allow us to hook and unhook bars with less tongue jacking, for a given WD, he may be on to something.
When the weather cools off and I have some time, I will do some testing at the CAT scale, because I have a blue ox, and I have a set of 550 pound bars for one trailer, and a set of 1000 pound bars for a second trailer. So I can test them back to back on the same trailer and do some measuring. It's gonna have to wait for cooler weather though, busy right now.
Will get back to y'all.
