Exactly. I've seen a F350 with a bobcat on a trailer that flipped due to sway. Bobcat was a little too far back on trailer, not enough tongue weight.
Tongue weight is far more critical than some folks understand. A kid working for my excavating contractor rounded a fast corner with an empty triaxle dump truck, pulling a 12,000 LB dozer on a lowboy trailer. He started swaying and didn't get it back under control until he snapped all the tie down chains and tossed the dozer into a field. It landed upright and ran fine. He said that he did notice that the rig was handling squirrelly, and twitchy, since he pulled out of the yard earlier. He loaded it back up, pulled it ahead about a foot from where it was earlier, and the whole rig behaved fine. The craziest part is that, after digging some grass clumps out of strange places on the dozer, you would of never guessed that it was just in a pretty impressively stupid wreck, it had zero damage.
