If you will be using a WDH to restore the TV's front axle to is unhitched load --
the resulting vertical load applied to the TV will be about 80% of the TT's tongue weight.
If the TV's available payload is 900#, the maximum allowable tongue weight, based on TV's GVWR, will be approximately 900/0.8 = 1125#.
A likely tongue weight percentage for the loaded TT is about 13%.
This means the maximum allowable TT weight, based on TV's GVWR, will be approximately 1125/0.13 = about 8650#.
The above estimate assumes the TV's receiver is rated for at least 1125#.
It also is assumed that the TV's rear GAWR is not exceeded.

Our WDH max tongue weight is 940.
