Some help was just given to someone to reset his hitch with the exact same issue as the OP was having. It was his incorrect set up from the dealer.
In both cases , it seems the heavy trailer was not heavy enough on the hitch .
The OP needed more tongue weight.
That's what this OP accomplished by adjusting the hitch set up (transferring weight) because he did not have an excavator to move forward . :)
(that's exactly what is done by the pros who transport equipment)
Now that all is done, weights at scales can be done to see what/if potential dangers are on the horizon. I would review the tire ratings first and foremost.
