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.
That is going to put you back into the 6k loaded range on a trailer. No way around it
